Photography, the creative and visual arts, guitar, bushwalking/rockhopping, nature, festivals, fire performance/poi, Lola my little Honda Civic EK (pics now up in gallery!), the odd bush doof now and then, loving loved ones, daytrips, contemplation, wonder and random musing..

Television
Don't really watch too much television, but there's the odd tv moment or two I remember..
tiny url dot com slash 2nqjfm Sorry about this non clickable link.. Myspace and Firefox won't play nice if I try to make it clickable.. 25 Best Futurama Moments Ever - "Those who disagree with this choice at number one should die of no-heart disease." Oh! And The Bill makes for great daytime tv :D
About me: Hi all! First up, an explanation if you've been redirected here via my
www.byry.com.au addy- site's currently under development, so here's what's in its place in the meantime. Thought I'd make use of myspace's pretty decent slideshow feature and there are a bunch on this page (which yay! Means no log-in required). Anyway, keep checking back, and I'll try to let everyone know when the site's up. Taa! :)
If you're based around Brisbane, Gold Coast or the Sunshine Coast and you've got a photography requirement or an interesting proposal, feel free to send me an email at
info@byry.com.au or drop me a myspace message to have a chat or get a quote. I'm also contactable via facebook :)
My favourite photography to do focuses on performers and promotional material- fire performance, contact juggling, juggling, stage, pixies and fairies. I also enjoy my landscapes; they often document the adventures I've found myself lucky enough to go on..
Right then! Enough of the businessy kerfuffle. What else can I say about Ry.. occasionally talks about himself in third person.. and stuff. I'd have the spiel about succumbing to this myspace doo, but I'm pretty sure every third person is expected to say that.. Good things come in three ya?
About me, I finished a Bachelor of Creative Industries (Art & Visual Culture, Television, Digital Media) at Queensland University of Technology a couple of years ago, passed some time working at TAFE (education sector.. me.. who'dve thunk it), and being a part-time freelancing photographer.. Had a bit of a stint in real estate photography- mm houses. Inspiring!! Not really, but hey lol. Was wondering how long I could distract my creative muse for. Currently.. back to a 9 to 5er with a wonderful team.. doing the day to day thing to fund the fun. Anyways. Much love, drop me a line!
So yes, photography- my cameras.. my love.. I take photos. Love love love getting a keeper. And after all these years, that 'keeper vs. that's-rubbish-mate ratio' is getting better. Always work in progress.
Hmm what else. I've got my toe in everything it seems. I dance with fire. Sometimes. It's nice making a statement like that once in a while, and not really thinking about the come uppance. Inspired by my talented animator friend Ms Katie Steed, I somehow found myself tangled in chains with hungry balls of flame ready to devour me.. And the rest was history.
I keep good company here in Brisbane. My friends seem to be found suicidally skating down mountains and/or traffic, or traffic on mountains, doing lush pixie fire performances for crowds with jaws agape, going for long bushwalks then abseilling down waterfalls, or perhaps sitting on a 12 foot tall unicycle while juggling a basketball, a toilet plunger and a flaming torch (Terry, this could only be you.), going to the odd pixie doof in the bush every now and then (if you're not from around these parts, could sound somewhat inappropriate lol.)- some snaps here on Flickr..
I play the guitar (like every? Yes, that's right- third person), and bought an alto saxophone thinking I'd be able to teach myself.. I can make a sound, how's that? And now I also have a banjo. Hillbilliness here I come yes siree bob.
Yeah. And stuff. Lots of stuff.. if you want to know, just ask. x
ps. Yes! Favourite words- dulcet and balletic. Though I personally, am anything but either. If it helps you, you may think I am. Also don't mind besotted. Yes.
Who I'd like to meet: Kate Kelton- artist, writer, actor, muse extraordinaire!! ♥ :)
