Intro: It is a wonder and a privilege to have the gift of sight. What a true marvel is the eye, which started off millennia ago as light-sensitive cells on the surface of the skin that later became connected by nerves to the brain.

Three years have flown past, millions of images have crossed my line of vision, most of which were a product of my daily interactions, a fraction of these from images uploaded by TE members.
From my own participation with the world around me, some images have become implanted in my mind for as long as I live: the face of my Aboriginal guide in Uluru, the sunsets during the fires in Victoria, my sighting, after half a century, of my primary school on my visit to Dalmatia…
To many such impressions I can add the memorable images I have seen on TE of places that I will never see in person, but which have fired my imagination: images of Chile, Mongolia, Canada, Finland, Tanzania (Zanzibar)…

Joining TE has made me more involved in the world around me as I now make a greater effort to see more, go farther and explore different possibilities. I feel that I have become more creative as I begin to see things not only through my eyes, but also through the eyes of TE members. Having said that, I will only go so far in following the lead of the TE’s preferred image aesthetics. I refuse to over saturate and over sharpen images, since nature is not that cruel to our sensibilities. Just imagine living under a sky that is often seen and lauded on this site! We would suffer from constant migraines or nausea as violent colours assault our senses. I try to keep the image as close to what I saw at the time. Original should mean Original. Filters are fine, but as Shakespeare said, too much honey at once makes it loathsome, so too with overworked CPLs and other filters.

I thank all those members who have shown interest in my photos and my ramblings and who have dropped in regularly over the three years. Your support and suggestions have given me the motivation to share with you something about my past and my present.

Sept.01.09
I have a new toy, thanks to a present from my family, an Epson scanner(PERFECTION V500 to be exact). I have gone back in time, 30 years ago, to my first "world" trip away from Australia which I recorded in slides and film with my trusty Minolta.
There is an earlier one, to former Yugoslavia, my very first time I had gone back to Europe and a trip I recorded on B&W film.
At present I am "Photoshopping" some of my slides which I shall post as soon as my Malaysia trip has been covered. So much wonder, fun, beauty and excitement in many of those photos- all awaiting to be seen publicly(after a few cosmetic alterations.)
As I look at these photos I wonder at how much the world has changed and how much it has remained the same. The same goes for me too.
