About Me

Hello,
Welcome to my profile! I live in Melbourne, Australia and a freelance photographer.
I have a wonderful girlfriend, who I love very much ^_^ (Toxaris).
These days I'm working my arse off while trying to continue with my photography and have a life at the same time. I have always been an artistic person from an early age, its only been recently in the past 4 - 5 years I have started getting into photography.
I wouldn't call myself a professional since its something you are forever developing skills and techniques in. I really like going out clubbing, I try to get out at lest once a month these days but its a bit hard when working full time. I used to do some work for a nightclub company in Melbourne for a while so I was going out every weekend.
Also I am a Big fan of Ghost In The Shell, just loved it from the first time I started reading the comics years ago. Plus I love my online gaming when I have the time for it but not playing anything massive that will take over my life *Cough!* WoW *Cough!* Know a few friends that only just made it out alive, they were on a one-way-ticket to becoming that Korean gamer (Died from playing over 36 hours straight).
I used to train in Japanese Martial Arts (Shukokai), I very much enjoyed it since it went to 9 years but these days I just dont have time for it. Plus my old Dojo is too far from me now, which is a shame because I enjoyed it so much and taught me many skills that werent just all physical.
I am currently looking into starting training in a different style since I am been given a new contract at work allowing me to better manage my time (As well as More money ^_^ Hehehe). Its just a matter of finding a decent place near by that are worth what they offer in the ways of training, plus I also want to reach out into different styles of Martial Arts to experiment with them and see what I can combine into one. Sure Im no expert or master but if you are in a 'self-defence' situation, I was always told by my sensei to take them down fast and hard so that they cant get back up while you are getting away. Since they deserve no honour for attacking you in the first place, our style was based on defence but later on in the training we were taught how to attack and make sure they are not a treat. Well as they say often the best defence is a good offence ^_^
I am going on a fair bit about this but its what I spent a fair bit of my life focusing on...
Over time I will add more to this and if you read it then Nice Work! if not then I dont care ^_^
