Singapore
,
the Solomon Islands
,
Thailand
,
Trinidad and Tobago
,
Turkey
,
the United Kingdom
, the United States,
Vanuatu
and

.
Will my torment never end?

American Adventure
After moving from New Zealand to
the United States
in 1997, I've spent time in
some of
America's most interesting cities
- San Diego, Washington DC,
Chicago
,
Las Vegas
,
Los Angeles
,
New York
and San Francisco, and seen the diversity of
many of its states
, like the tropical
scenery of
Hawaii
,
the desert landscapes of
Arizona
,
Nevada
and
California
, and the
freezing depths of winter in
Illinois
.
I've also enjoyed many aspects of America's culture, and have tried
my best to learn
how to speak English in a way which can be
understood
!

Top Gun
Over the years I've had press passes to photograph military and civilian
aircraft around the world, including historic and modern warbirds, and even NASA equipment
like the space shuttle. This takes me to
public airshows
and also into military airbases and places most
people never see, like the control towers at Edwards Air Force Base in the USA and the once
top-secret Zhukovsky Airfield in Russia.
I've also visited many
aircraft museums
around the world. Here you can
find some of the most extraordinary aircraft in the world - the
world's great historic aircraft, as well as experimental aircraft and monstrous
failures.

Cool Critters
The world is full of beautiful or bizarre wildlife! Whether they're
birds
,
bugs
,
mammals
,
reptiles
or even
denizens of the underwater world
, I love to
photograph these remarkable fellow inhabitants of our planet in their natural habitats. I've
even been known to shoot
fungi
if they're interesting enough!
Jungles, deserts and coral reefs are exciting enough during the daytime, but at night a whole
new parade of creatures comes out of hiding. Many people think being
in the ocean or the jungle in the darkness is terrifying, but it's my idea of night life!
