My Bio
I am a Commerce graduate, working in Logistics and Supply Chain systems. Part time tennis player, full time runner. Addicted to statistics (Gaming, Exercise, Business and anything I can get my hands on). A Mensa member.

I have a keen interest in Photography. I prefer to think of myself as someone who does it for the fun (editing process not fun) and to challenge myself.

I live in what some would call 'The most dangerous city in the world'. But love it here and it provides for some pretty good entertainment and economic opportunities- photographic ones not too much.

And thats me! For now.

Its been a long time. But I have decided to get back into photography. My newest images are all taken while in Cape Town (I needed some inspiration). I hope you enjoy/enjoyed them - I am quite out of practice. To a good year ahead!

Almost a year ago, I received my first camera as a gift. In that year I have gone from knowing nothing about using it, to knowing a little more then nothing although I did get good news I came runner up in the first photography competition I ever entered, and my photo was published in a national news paper.
