I'm a forty-something Registered Nurse with a passion for art, music and more pertinently, photography. I am fortunate enough to be married to a beautiful woman and am also blessed to be father to two lovely children. I have mixed feelings about also sharing responsibility for a little Australian terrier cross breed fluffy woofer-thing, two chickens, two budgies and a continually fluctuating number of goldfish. I'm always learning and am always happy to be surprised and amazed by the world around me. I believe most people are intrinsically good (with the possible exception of some politicians and most despots)
My predominant musical education came from listening almost exclusively to the likes of Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart from the age of 11 years onwards. I read lots (mainly science fiction) and I like Sushi & Thai food. I can never get my hair right.
