Hi!
I'm a regular photographic contributor to SameSame - say hello if you see me out with my camera, or if you're in any of the photographs I've taken!
If you're not comfortable with being photographed then that's ok too.
You can find some of these images, and more, at www.lunasa.net and in print, in Sydney Star Observer. You can also find me on Flickr.com and Facebook.com
The profile pic is from September 2007: a trial run for my Sleaze costume.
