First Camera

My first camera was a Kodak Brownie Model E which I bought from an Oportunity Shop in Melbourne, Australia. I was about seven or eight years old. It started an, 'on again, off again' love affair with cameras and photography.

Training

Apart from camera manuals and books, I received my initial introduction to photographic technique and darkroom techniques at high school as part of the Science Curriculum. This was followed up by further photographic studies at Preston TAFE College. However, the daily neccesities of life caught up with me and I needed a job, so I joined the Circus. What follows are some of the places I've been.
