I have always enjoyed photography and have 'the eye' but haven't really taken much time to actually do something of it. I guess taking that leap of faith and pushing my artistic and detail side to actually do something about it, well, that's why I'm interested in this opportunity. I have travelled overseas only when I was 14, to Finland, but I guess that experience really made me aware and positive about where we live. I love the world and the many places we can go, it's an amazing time that we can travel to Peru within a week, where as 100 years a go it was an impossible task.

My greatest fear is being exposed to the act of taking the photo, the fear that people do not want their photo taken, that they will act aggressively. This has changed over time since I did a photo collaboration with a friend where we took photos of reflective and transparent surfaces in and around the city of Brisbane. People looked, most out of interest, not anger.

What really puts me apart from another is my positive attitude, my fitness, I think I have a level of charisma that can be felt by somebody looking at me in the eye and thinking that he's ok, he's going to do the right thing, he respects me.

	When your living at your destination, it could mean that you have arrived to some place special that is more than a building untop of a hill, but a refuge and place of rest. It is a case of feeling like there is no place that you've discovered that has personallity, character, warmth and freedom even tho it is where you like to live in time.

.	It is the subtle changes you see, different tones and colours that build up this narative of place. It is timeless in it's design and process.

	With each day, storms roll across the landscape with no regard to the built environment, it's force is greater and it's aims are different.

	But in the cracks and decay of such a timeless place, the progress of time can't be haltered or hindered, and even the handrails show the effects of time.

	With the passing of the day, minutes seem like minutes, as the timeless character is not where you live, but where you can see and imagein the places and adventures you can go to.

	Even when the clouds have passed, the buidling stays in definace of the storm, but ignorant that time is ticking, picking small pieces of building off at a time.
