1. What I can't live without in my camera bag is... My Rocket Air Blower! Its amazing how much dust clings to your camera's sensor and most goes un-noticed until you stop the lens down for that perfect landscape shot..A real time saver when it comes to post processing.

2. My idea of a perfect Sunday is… Perfect weather and being out photographing my favourite subjects (bird life), anywhere in this beautiful country. (oh and having my wife along with me too..)

3. The best thing about New Zealand is… Being a small country there is so much diversity in landscape and activity within just a few hours drive...

4. What makes me laugh out loud is… My pet parrot. He does the most crazy things sometimes and is far from a just a mimic. He makes up his own sentences and is a real character..

5. In five years I hope to be… As happy and healthy as I feel today.
