About Max

Not sure why you would want to see a picture of me - but anyway, you got it. That's me on the left - Ann, my first wife and lover on the right.

I was born (1951) and bred in the great state of Western Australia, a long way from the rest of the world. My birthplace was Bassendean, a small suburb of Perth, which is also where Rolf Harris comes from (maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that). I attended Ashfield Primary School, but only lasted a year and a bit at Cyril Jackson High School.

My family was very outdoorsy, so I got to see lots of great places and at age 16, received my first camera - a Kodak fixed lens 35mm. I started into transparencies from that time and now have boxes of the things that never see the light of day, though I have been picking out the best, scanning and printing them for the family album. I have made up an album of the many cars, 4x4s and other vehicles I have owned over the years. I bought my first SLR, a small Pentax something with fixed lens, at 18 years of age and later had a Ricoh with screw-on lens. The last film camera was a Pentax MZ50 - then I went digital. See more info on my current camera gear here.

I married the girl next door in 1973, after being the best of friends for 8 years, and have been together ever since. We have two sons, one is with the Australian Army where he has the rank of Captain, serving in Darwin, Northern Territory, and is married with five children. Our younger son is a welder up north in Karratha, in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia.

I have always loved good photography and regret not pursuing it as a career, or at least as a more dedicated amateur, though that is being fulfilled more of late with the shift into digital. Having good equipment is half the battle, and I am fortunate that this has been achieved, allowing me to concentrate more on the content side of my hobby.

I am currently working on promoting my own little business selling bumper stickers, both via the web at Spiritland.com.au and at agricultural shows, festivals and where ever there is an opportunity. I have designed most of the stickers and get them printed up. I also do all the website design. My other passion is this maxEphotos.net photo website, which just keeps getting bigger. I also do a few other websites: rivcc.org,au Rivervale Church of Christ, which is our home church;  and their community outreach website at fuelup.rivcc.org.au.  

I hope you enjoy my photos - there will be lots more to come, but please, do not use any of my images for commercial purposes without written permission. You can add a comment, picture and link to my Guest Book here - please do.

Cheers,  Max.
