My earliest experience of taking photos was as a child at Taronga Park Zoo with a Brownie Box camera and an eight-frame reel of glorious black and white film. It was all mono in those days.

In the late 70s I lived in London and joined a wonderful photography group led by the equally wonderful Gerry Badger (who wrote, among many other things, The Genius of Photography). I learnt how to develop and print, and appreciation of photography through the work of photographic greats including Imogen Cunningham, Diane Arbus, Edward Weston, Eugène Atget, to name just a few. I got a taste for photography as a fine art.

Now I live in Sydney. At the start of 2020 dear friend Trisharooni suggested I blip and I haven't looked back. I love participating and am excited by what fellow blippers see and upload each day.
