i had my first lesson in photography at Launceston College in February, 1994. My teacher then was Steve Tully, the head of the Photography Department, and a wonderful guy. in 1994 I did a year-long, begin- with-the-basics class (Visual Arts & Media C). that was followed in 1995 by a year-long, emphasis-on-the-artistic course, Art, Craft & Design CP (pre-tertiary), as well as a 50-hour Practical and Applied Photography A. in 1996 i did the night-time equivalent of the first course i did. in 1997, i did Photography As A Service as my first semester elective at university. (it's about learning how to photographically document artworks.)
what can i say? i'm an addict. my most prized possession is my ricoh kr5, and my greatest desire is for my own darkroom (find something to block out the bathroom windows and rob a bank and i'll have the money and the room.... hmmm.).
over time i will be putting up some of my photographs - so far i only have a few ready.
really, i do intend to... i have a stack on disk, i just need to get around to using the ftp thingy...
- oh, btw: the wallpaper on my main page was created by me. (that's why i keep it like it is, although it makes the writing a little difficult to read!)
NEWS! I'VE JUST LAYBY'D MYSELF A COMBINATION MACRO 'N' ZOOM LENS! I'M SOOOOO EXCITED. $120 SECONDHAND. I CAN'T WAIT TO PAY IT OFF!!!!
