I come from a long line of photographers.  My Great Grandfather first picked up a camera in the early 1900's and started documenting farm life in Western Victoria. Since then four generations of my family have expressed themselves artistically through the camera.  

To celebrate this heritage, in November 2007 my family staged an exhibition “4 Generations of Boehm Photographers” at the Natimuk Frinj Festival, which was held in the small Wimmera town that I and the previous three generations were born in.

I was given my first camera for my 10th birthday and I can still remember the first photo I ever took with it - it was apicture of my 4 year old brother wearing a silly birthday party hat. And I can still remember the feeling of excitement seconds later when I ripped open the back of the camera expecting to see a photo already preserved on the film.
