I found some old negatives which I'd scanned from a trip to Myanmar in October 2004. Most of the photo's where taken around Bagan, Mandalay and Mt Popa. The wooden bridge has since been destroyed. The country is an amazing place which at times seems to take one step forward and two steps backward. Despite it's problems Myanmar is one of my favourite countries. It natural beauty, history and people make it a must see.

Tom grew up on a farm in far western NSW and knew at a young age his shooting was best done with a camera. With a journalism, media adviser, CEO and now  with his new job working on a plan to release the carp herpes virus into Australia's waterways, photography is part of Tom's everyday work. Outside Australia's capital cities is where Tom does most of his shooting and wandering around regional and rural Australia is home to his 'happy place'.
