I started this habit<photography> that is when i was a teenager living in Sydney in the 60s.  It was totally amazing to me to be able to make photographs. The way images appeared on photo paper under the red light of the darkroom was magic. I have been an addict ever since, spending years of my life in the dark using enlargers and chemicals to generate photographs.
With the digital revolution and Blip land, we now can share thoughts and images with like-minded people all over the world almost instantly.
I love the discipline of shooting every day and attempting to make one image that I like enough to share with you all.
It reminds me of my first photography class in Sydney at the Graphic Arts College.  The assignment to make an interesting photograph of your neighborhood seemed so mundane at the time. I had the good fortune -- or lack of fortune -- to be  living in a shoebox apartment in Milsons Point, so Sydney Harbour was my backyard. What I would not give to still have those negatives shot at night of the old Luna Park on blk and white tri-x.  But due to my wanderlust ways, roaming India for 6 years ,and moving to the USA,  none of these images are available except in my head.
It is wonderful to meet you all here, to be able to read and post comments on what we as individuals see and decide to photograph in our own quirky ways. Then having to edit and decide on one image that tells the viewer something that highlights our experience on every single day. That is our challenge.
Remember, Enjoy the Day and Focus the Art of Seeing.
