Emerging from a long Melbourne lockdown, I was fascinated to discover Street Art in the laneways of the Bayside suburb of Black Rock which appeared to chronicle many of the experiences of the community in the period 2020-2022. There is a mix of things that gave joy to ordinary people, walking on the beach, the companionship of pets, music and the sadness of losing a local hero such as Shane Warne, and a moving tribute to the Frontline heroes in the health sector who kept us all safe.

I am an Australian author and photographer who has regularly visited Paris to maintain my connection with French language and culture. In 2007, my heritage photography was first included in an International Exposition held by the Bibliothèque de Géographie at the University of Paris and I was presented with a Gold Medal at the Venice International Photo Contest. Between 2007-2020, I achieved over fifty Honourable Mentions from the International Photography Awards in Los Angeles and the Prix de la Photographie Paris. I also designed and created a website to promote my memoir, 'Paris Light'.
