I was born at a very young age and have gone on to become one of the most dynamic people I know. I first became interested in photography when I got my first camera and started taking pictures. I am a champion lap dancer and my mum is very proud of me. I nearly won the high jump at primary school when I was 8. I try to limit my blinking in case I miss something. With nothing but a cheap plastic garden rake and a Ipod, I once stopped a raging bush fire. Several times I have come up with the meaning of life but can’t quite put it into words. My friends love me. I had a pet duck when I was 6, called Alexander, and he died when I was 7, and I still don't eat duck. I am an accomplished baritone and can play the banjo with my toes. I saw Elvis once, at the Cobargo Folk Festival…. I think. Even though I'm older now, sometimes, just sometimes, I still enjoy eating sand. Animals trust me. At night I like to drive very fast- with my lights turned off, in reverse. My pass port photo makes me look hot. In my whole life, I've never dropped an egg on the floor. Reading technical articles upside down helps with my retention of the facts. My favourite colour is blue. I have an uncanny ability to hug my way out of just about any situation, without seeming weird. I seek out shopping trolleys with one bad wheel. I can frolic without looking gay. I once felt the urge to fly, and did… for a moment. Some people feel they have met before and then tell me all their secrets. I manage my time efficiently, without even knowing it and all my bills are paid on time. I have a passion for restoring broken cane baskets. Dolphins, cows and snakes never bite me. When I grow up I want to be a fireman or maybe an astronaut, what ever pays the best.

I love teaching! To be able to share my knowledge is such a privilege. My introductory workshops start with the very basics, then build from there. Photography is best learnt one step at a time and progressing only when everyone in the group is ready to move on. There is...
