Recollections

Where this will end up isn’t yet clear, though the following subjects may provide a hint.

• Early years – A post-war Portsea Island childhood.
• Formative years– A misspent, interrupted and fragmented university diversion.
• Influences – Particularly those not recognised at the time (see below).
• H W Tilman – Maverick soldier, climber, blue water navigator and unwitting mentor.
• Photography – An occasional hobby.
• The value of images – The importance of perspective or ‘Death by PowerPoint’?
• Employment – From card sorters to online car sales. The good, the bad and the downright ugly of IT projects. Beans shall be spilled.
• Retirement – An occupation best avoided. Voluntary efforts in the community and local authority planning sagas.
• Life lessons – and other surprises.
