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!

Sunrise Tonic

16 Jan 2014: This morning I had my daily tonic of soothing tones and magic reflections. Seeing the day being like this is my morning mediation and it’s such a huge part of my life since I began paddling and photographing after finishing treatment over two years ago. Every sunrise has its own unique signature and this morning’s sunrise definitely hit the spot.

I hope that you can stay cool and avoid the heat today; it’s going to be a scorcher here. Have a great day!

Saturday Night Cruise

11 Jan 2014: Tonight I cruised my into an amazing sunset. It started with blue mirrored waters and it continued to evolve into a beautiful golden sunset. I don’t get the chance to experience to many of them, so tonight’s cruise on Lake Burley Griffin was a very enjoyable one.

Reflections like this always put a huge smile on my dial :)
