Hello and thank you for visiting!

Even though some of you know me as Ross, my name is Spiros and Cyprus is my birthplace but Melbourne has been my home for most of my life.
As a child I spent my time in the paddocks turning over rocks to see what lived beneath and quite often I would do the same with the bark on trees.
I am glad to say that at the age of forty five, I still do the same...(such is my fascination with nature)
I am fascinated with big cats, the african bush, bird watching, diferent cultures.
I love going for walks where no body goes and just simply being with nature and all it's beauty.

At the age of nineteen, I started to learn about photography and it is then that I bought my first camera which is the Nikon fm. The camera is twenty seven years old and still going strong.
Few months after I started learning photography and for some strange and unknown reason, I put the camera down and instead I picked up the knives and for the last 25 years I have been working as a chef. My passion for photography though layed dormant deep within and three years ago I had the pleasure of visiting India.
It was time to bring the camera out and the rest is history.
Last year I bought the NIkon d200 and have not stopped taking images since.

In October 2006, I followed my childhood dream and I got on the plane and flew to Kenya.
It was both my pleasure and honor to have been to such places such the Masai Mara and Amboselli Parks.
Besides visiting the Parks, I also got to spend one month at Njaaga's Child Hope Home where I spent my time with fifty five orphans and this web site is dedicated to them.

At the moment I am a member of Conservation Volunteers of Australia, a volunteer with the Palliative Care Unit at the Repatriation Hospital, Melbourne.

I am an adventurer, a humanitarian, a wildlife/nature admirer.

Thank you for stopping by, enjoy your stay and please, send me an email with your questions, your request for a specific image or just simply to say hi!
