I first started taking photographs of trains back in 2005, when I was a student commuting daily from Geelong to Melbourne, and started to take an interest in the trains that were taking me to university daily.

In the years since I have taken over a hundred thousand photos, with tens of thousands of them uploaded to this site - as someone who never knew the limitations of film, I take far too many photos of the same thing and need to cull them down!

My early photographs where taken around Geelong and Melbourne in my downtime between classes, but soon after I branched out into chasing trains across the Victorian countryside in my clapped out Ford Laser.

After a few years on Railpage, I became known as 'the guy who takes lots of train photos around Geelong', but that changed in 2010 when I moved up to Melbourne. With that move came full time work and an end of gallivanting across the state, resulting in trams and suburban trains becoming my usual photography targets.
