About kayakcameraman

I’m a kayaker who has fallen in love with photography. You'll find me quietly snapping away at the unique seasonal changes that take place around me. I began paddling on the lake as a way to rebuild both my body and mind after enduring an intensive three-month bout of chemotherapy due to testicular cancer. I had never paddled a kayak prior to this and very quickly discovered how stunning it is to be on the water looking out – rather than in. What I love about photography and paddling is that it provides you with best head space. This is why I love my daily paddles, as it gives me peace and contentment along with some of the best natural light shows. Why would you not want to experience it!

Gentle Beginning

8 Oct 2014: It was such a gentle beginning in the ‘the world’s most liveable city’ this morning. The soft morning light combined perfectly with the calm conditions to produce a glorious start to the day. It was that calm that I was able to have a chat with one of the Balloon Aloft pilots and his crew as they casually floated metres above the water’s surface. The passengers aboard the balloon flight were certainly treated to a spectacular view of Canberra and Floriade.

Spring is in Full Swing

Posted on September 30, 2014 by kayakcameraman

30 Sept 2014: There is no need to hibernate with winter over and spring in full swing. We have been fortunate to have glorious weather over the long weekend and it is forecast to continue into the working week. The new Kingston foreshore is proving to be a popular place to be and is a buzz with people enjoying the sunshine and the array of restaurants on offer. After a long paddle I headed to ‘Local Press’ who impressed me with their unique organic brunch menu including cold pressed juices and organic coffee.

Canberra you have done it again!
