“A story of transformation – the value of following my heart, and acting on my intuition.”
– Kevin
– Kevin
A brutal tractor crash forces small town Kev into a new world, both physically and spiritually. Angry and resistant to change, the bitter bushman finds himself on a journey of inner growth that takes him from Australia’s searing outback to the icy mountains of Norway’s fjordland. Facing his demons of doubt in a strangely familiar land, Kev learns to ‘listen with all his senses’ as he strives to fulfil his heart’s desire: to find his soulmate.
“From being swept away in a Kimberley wet season to wearing shorts and thongs in a Norwegian winter, Kev’s adventures are entertaining and his road to enlightenment unique. But it is in his heartfelt longing for a soulmate, a spiritual and emotional equal, that the true story lies. Kev brings us a starkly honest portrayal of the male human condition, and a warm account of what happens when we seek to heal the wounds of the past, and follow our heart toward a new future.”
"In a time of endless New Age speak, Kev's Bush Aussie vernacular is heartwarming, refreshing, and above all an achingly funny road to enlightenment..."

“It’s great. I like the vernacular style – straight from the heart with a clever narrative weave throughout the book. It’s a refreshing departure on all the sloppy New Age stuff in the bookstores.”

* Photographer's note:
All images on this web site are mine, and they are real. They were scanned from their original media, being either 35 mm slide film, or 6 x 9 cm medium format.
No images have been altered physically, however, what should have been a straight forward scan of a slide to create a digital print turned out to be a major contract in photoshop to get the colour as close as I could to the pure image I had to begin with. My photos don't lie, but technology thinks I need help to re-create better colour and tone from what was already pure.
I accept that it is the best that I can do for now. It is, after all, an honour to be sharing them with you. Isn't technology wonderful?
