When you learn who you are. When you learn who you aren't. An inspirational story of nature.

There are moments in our lives when we feel different. An unexplainable feeling of sadness, euphoria or power that comes over us like never before. At this moment we can choose to ignore the feeling or we can choose to embrace it and change our lives in an attempt to follow it. For me a moment of complete clarity and euphoria came when I first traveled to Yosemite National Park in 2011. The feeling was unexplainable, a sense of being finally existed within me. It was nature, real and epic, scary yet so natural. I was overcome. I traveled to Yosemite again in the winter of 2012 and had the same overwhelming experience. What was it about this place that captivated me? How could it make me feel this way and the incredible city of Rome or New York not?

Nature exists within all of us, we are mammals, we are an holistic part of nature. This is what I had felt during my experience at Yosemite. As a photographer and artist I could not think of anything more important than to attempt to express this feeling in my work. I have done so ever since. I capture nature because it is real, more real than money, more real than job security, more real than a house. Nature is all we truly have. Respect it. Nurture it. Love it. Become it.

Have you ever considered moving into medium format film photography? Here's a fantastic buyers guide!

I've worked with medium format film cameras for a while now and can't recommend them enough. For the price, a Mamiya C220 is definitely the best camera you can buy right now, period. The image quality is just incredible, it has interchangeable lenses and a bellows focussing system that allows you to focus CLOSE! Twin Lens Reflex cameras don't have a flapping mirror so you can hand hold at much lower shutter speeds than with a DSLR or SLR camera. This also means they are almost silent, a street photographer's dream!

Mamiya C220

I could talk all day about TLR and medium format film cameras, however today I would like to re-direct you to an incredible source for information, a website that I myself have learnt from many, many times. www.japancamerahunter.com. Please see the complete Medium Format Buyers Guide Here.

Incredible footage of a Snake eating a Goanna!

I captured this video while on an extremely remote island in the Torres Strait, Queensland, Australia. This poor Goanna in being swallowed by a Python!

Beautiful video footage of baby Turtles hatching and running down to the water.

This incredible footage was captured on a very remote island in the Torres Strait. Watching this act of nature was one of the most amazing and beautiful things I have ever experienced.
