Highlight Of The Decade 

How can I pick just one highlight in ten years! I’ve gotten married to my love, we have a pug dog, a house, I’ve been overseas multiple times and photographed major music festivals in Australia and Europe. I’ve seen so many of my favourite bands, and so many of my favourite bands have reformed in that time. It’s been a huge decade!

Prediction For Next Decade

If the Earth doesn’t explode and wipe us all out, I hope to get overseas and see more of this beautiful planet we live on. I predict that more countries will rise up and overthrow their dictatorship governments and that John Farnham will do a final tour.
