has been a member since Nov 2007 and goes by dpt56.

I am a middle aged gay man from Melbourne, Australia. I love to photograph the world around me - everything from a still flower floating in a pond to soldiers toting machine guns in Israel. Portraiture remains a challenge! And I guess travel photography would be my favourite.
