About me...

At the moment I'm a traveler and a photographer. Currently 31, and I don't always have a beard. The photo to the right was taken in while in Syria. (The can is a local drink called "Cheer UP - same as 7UP only happier!)

Prior to 2006 I was working as a lawyer in Sydney for a trade union and am admitted as a solicitor in New South Wales, Australia. I often get asked whether I left because I didn't like working as a lawyer. The fact is that although I enjoyed my work and representing people in their workplace, I wanted to do something a little bit different with my life, and was fortunate enough to be in a position to be able to do it.

I occasionally have people take an interest in my lifestyle and travels, and have been interviewed a number of times:

About This Site...

Veo el mundo... means "I see the world" in Spanish

This site is about travel photography. It aims to provide a source of information, ideas and hopefully inspiration to fellow travelers and photographers.

In addition to photography, I aim to record some of my travel stories through this site. If you’re interested in using any of the material that you find here, or advertising on this site, please feel free to contact me.

About my photography...

Photography is currently my only source of income. Over the last 3 years I've built up a collection of travel images which are available for license on a number of online "microstock" photo agencies, such as iStockphoto, on a royalty free basis.

For more about my camera equipment, workflow and stock agencies, see my photography page.

To see where I am and where I'm going next, see the "Where am I going?" block on the right of this page. This bock is a feed from another site I'm currently developing: TripShared which will aim to provide an information resource for travelers.

My style of travel can best be described as backpacking. While this means many things to many people, for me it means low budget, low impact travel, with a backpack. I generally stay in locally owned guesthouses and hostels (as opposed to 5-star resorts), frequently eat local food including street food and prefer to travel over land rather than flying wherever possible. For me backpacking doesn't mean that I shun all the comforts of home, that I dispense with basic personal hygiene. It also doesn't mean that I'm on an extended world-wide pub crawl.
