Glen Turvey

I have always required a blend of the creative, the technical, and the interpersonal to be truly satisfied with my life. I began my professional life in Engineering, worked as a Product Manager with an innovative electronics manufacturer, moved to Adelaide as a State Sales Manager, before moving into Tourism.

I did Certificate III's in Tour and Eco-Adventure Guiding, and (just for good measure) a Diploma of Art & Design majoring in Photography.

I recently returned from a ski traverse of the Southern Patagonian Ice Cap, and you can find out more about the trip, me and my photography at www.glenturvey.com

On my own or with one other person. A chat by the beach, playing guitar, or perhaps taking the camera for a walk.

Dark blue / grey. The moody colour you get in the sky when a change is in the wind.

It changes of course, but for now Idea of North - an Australian a capella group.

Favourite word/phrase:

"When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned."
    Mark Twain
