About Max: I was born and bred in the great state of Western Australia, a long way from the rest of the world. W.A. covers one-third of Australia, being the largest of the eight states and territories. It has a population of only 26 million (2021) people spread over 7.7 million sq. km, so there is plenty of room to 'get away from it all' and enjoy God's creation.
My family was very outdoorsy, so I got to see lots of great places and at age 16, received my first camera, a Kodak fixed lens 35mm, mostly transparencies. I bought my first 35mm, a small Pentax something with fixed lens, at 18 years of age and later had a Ricoh SLR with screw-on lens. The last film camera was a Pentax MZ50 - then I went digital. See more info on my current camera gear here.
I have always loved good photography and regret not pursuing it as a career, or at least as a more dedicated amateur, though that is being fulfilled more of late with the shift into digital. Having good equipment is half the battle, and I am fortunate that this has been achieved, allowing me to concentrate more on the content side of my hobby.
I use Paint Shop Pro to edit and enhance my images. I hope you enjoy my photos - there will be lots more to come, but please, do not use any of my images for commercial purposes, or distribute them in any manner whatsoever.
Cheers, Max.

My life story BLOG
Country made craft products from my shed - I live in the small country town of Yarloop, 120kms south of Perth, Western Australia.
I am a retired Security Officer/Crowd Controller. I also retired as a volunteer SES Road Accident Rescue responder.
I bought a laser as a hobby and the cost got out of hand, so my wife said I have to sell some stuff. Your purchase is greatly appreciated. Cheers, Max.
