The collection of an eclectic photographer

I was given a Kodak Brownie camera when I was eight and haven’t stopped taking photographs since. I was fortunate to grow up in a family that valued photography, and over the years I have built a pictorial record of my life, family and travels.

In 2002, I bought my first digital camera—a little Nikon Coolpix—and discovered Photoshop. I was hooked! Experimenting, making mistakes and learning from others became an important part of my photographic journey. Joining an online photography community in 2005 opened my eyes to the breadth of photographic possibilities and taught me the value of constructive feedback.

I joined Geelong Camera Club in 2009, where I found not only friendship and camaraderie but an environment that has continually encouraged my photographic development. Travel has also played an important role, taking me to more than 25 countries and introducing me to the joy of travel photography.

I have never settled on a single genre. While I enjoy many forms of photography, Altered Reality and compiled imagery are where my imagination finds its greatest freedom. Today, exploring Australia with my husband Bob and our Westie, Audrey, in our caravan provides much of my inspiration.

My photographic journey has taken me through several camera systems, but I have learned that great photography is less about having lots of equipment and more about making the most of what you have.

I hope you enjoy exploring my website. It is an eclectic collection—rather like its eccentric creator!

All images are my own photographs. Altered Reality images are compiled entirely from my own images. No third-party or AI-generated images have been used.
