Based in Maryborough, Queensland, I have been exploring the world through a lens since receiving my first camera at age 12. Dedicated to the art of monochrome, I focus on capturing the character of historic architecture, the grace of birds, and the intricate textures of the Australian landscape. Much of my work is captured while traveling Australia as a Grey Nomad in my motorhome, seeking out the quiet stories of the road. For over a decade, I have showcased my personal work through my Facebook page, MonochromePics—a long-running daily exploration of light, shadow, and the extraordinary in the ordinary. — Erich Nussbaumer
