This umm... my livejournal :)

I haven't used it much and don't know how much I will, but from time to time I'll post some stuff up here that may interest someone.

I'm a photographer from Perth, Western Australia. Most of my regular work is based around cars and motorsport. Because there's not a lot of money in motorsport in Australia, I choose to work full time as a parts interpreter at a Holden dealer as well. This works well as motorsport photography tends to be a weekend only thing anyway, plus most of my work is at the local drag strip, which closes for 3 months every year.

In addition to my motorsport photography and my day job, I also like to spend some time working on my cars. I don't always spend as much time as I'd like to on them, but I try.

I'm also interested in developing my abilities at taking photos away from the track, and have a particular interest in night photography as well as photographing scenes of urban decay and abandonment.

You can check out my photographic work here (in very small doses), in my flickr stream (still in small doses, but a lot more than here) at http://www.flickr.com/photos/highoctanephotos and at my websites, www.LandBarge.com (Night Photos, Urban Abandonment and Decay and the "Exposing WA" series), http://www.HighOctanePhotos.com (my main site, has almost everything I shoot on it) and the slightly more 'adult oriented' http://www.Car-Porn.com.

I'm also considering opening up yet another website that will concentrate on offering limited edition prints of some of my favorite photos (particularly the arty type stuff that I'd be happy to hang on my own walls), but this may be a while off.
