Welcome

I was born and raised in Narrogin, Western Australia. I picked up my first camera at the age of seven. It was a Kodak Brownie which I had a lot of fun shooting Black & White film.

After a few years I progressed to a 35mm fixed lens camera and won the
Junior Section of the local Agricultural Show Photographic awards on a
couple of occasions. After that I progressed to my first SLR and won the
Senior Section of the local Agricultural Show Photographic awards on
three occasions.

I learnt to develop my own black and white films and prints and also
experiment with Cibachrome Colour prints from a number of colour slides.

I commenced shooting Portraits and Weddings in 1982. In 2005 I had the room to build my own studio and really expand my equipment.

Over the past couple of years I have had the opportunity to photograph
some exceptional model talent in addition to family portraits and
weddings.

I primarily shoot digital now but still shoot film when I have the
chance.

I have been happily married to Brenda for 18 years and we have a
beautiful daughter (Rebekah) who was born in January 2006.

Moran's Wagin Motel

I had some work in Wagin today and was parked under a tree having lunch when I was inspired to take a photo of this old hotel.

Some history about the building from the WA Heritage Council Website:

Moran’s Wagin Hotel was built for James Spratt, who ran it from 1904 until 1929, and who also built the original hotel on the site in 1889, and the family of his niece, Bertha Moran, who lived and worked at the place most of their lives from 1921 to 2002.
Moran’s Wagin Hotel is associated with hotelier James Moran, who was credited as being Australia’s longest continuous hotel licensee at his death in 1967…
