The Big Move
For over eight years now I have been living here and in the same place. It became something of a sanctuary to me, a place where I can hide from those things that trigger my PTSD or Anxiety.

Selected Photos From Avoca and Maryborough Victoria Australia
I have a fascination with old houses and buildings. To me, unlike modern architecture, these buildings have character and history, perfect subjects for my trusty camera.
