1978-2003.

​

IIn 1978 I studied at the new Sydney College of the Arts, specializing in Photography and Sculpture, two years later doing a Post-Grad at Alexander Mackie in New Arts.

Although my early photo practice could be 'street photography', it might also be called 'the Intense Gaze'.

​

During this period, my work was intermittent, as I ran a tourist business, started a family, launched a Bicentennial project, wrote two non-fictional books, researched Australian photography, and wrote a novel. I was also fascinated by Apple Mac computers, this experience, leading to my next burst of photography, Fruits of the Imagination.
