Hi!
My name is Ben, I'm studying Computer Science at Latrobe university in Melbourne, Australia. I've been using Wikipedia as a reference site for years but only started contributing in November 06 by uploading many of my images and submitting them to Featured picture candidates and the en:wiki fpc. I used to have no trouble finding wildlife to photograph around my family home, kangaroos and wallabies often grazed on the lawn and dozens of species of small birds nested in the garden which was purpose built to attract them, hence the nature theme of much of my photography.
