About me
Allegedly discovered Wikipedia in November of 2006 and has since contributed a number of times, though hopes to improve Wikipedia over time by contributing to and even starting articles about various subjects. I'm a second year Criminal Justice student at Charles Sturt University with aspirations of becoming a police officer in the future. I am also a volunteer rural fire fighter in my spare time, away from university life. My interests include photography, electronics, computers and programming; procrastination, weather (meteorology) and some light reading. Definitely not physically inclined, but working on it, to be a proficient cop and fire fighter.

Gear
My foray into photography started quite a few years ago when I was given an Olympus mju-600 digital camera for Christmas. This was a great camera and served me quite well, though I didn't take any brilliant shots with it, unfortunately. I picked up a second hand Fujifilm FinePix S5200/S5600 as my next toy, keen on toying with different manual settings, and being able to shoot in RAW and which I did with quite a bit of success. I then managed to pick up an Olympus E-520 and a 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 for a pittance which is now my main camera. Excellent camera and was well worth the (quite minimal) investment that I picked it up for. I also have an OM system 50mm f/1.8 and OM system 80-200mm f/4.5-5.6 as well to complement it. Both are excellent to learn a dSLR with (since you're forced to use manual settings, with a converter ring) and which the 14-42mm complements if I need fully automated shooting or fast moving subjects.

Licensing
You may or may not notice that various images I submit to Wikimedia Commons are duplicated on Flickr, a high resolution and low-resolution version. I disagree with the stance on disallowing CC-NC provisions but still want to contribute to Wikipedia, so this was the best way. I would waive the NC provision for the Wikimedia Foundation (since I am able to do that) but unfortunately this is not an option.
