Autobiography: Who is Ron Passfield
This autobiographical lens based on the "Who Is" template provides some insight into my lifestream with illustrations by way of stories, photos, commentaries and insights (with a touch of humor). Seth Godin and Megan Casey, in their free e-book, The Joy of Squidoo, describe my "Who Is" lens as "compelling" and offer it as an exemplar for an autobiography on Squidoo.

Purple Star Award Lenses

The following two lenses have won the Purple Star award. The Benjamin Andrew Footpath Library lens tells the story of Sarah Garnett's passion to bring books to the homeless and disadvantaged people in Sydney. It links the story to Seth Godin's call for us to become Leaders of a Tribe.
The Morningsong lens is a living lens that contributes to the development of my local Community Choir. It is fed by an active blog, sharing of resources, video examples of the songs we sing, practice midi's, song sheets and communication between members via the Guestbook. The Morningsong lens also serves to promote and build the Choir.

Brisbane, Queensland - my home city
I live in the riverside suburb of Bulimba which sits on a bend in the Brisbane River near Breakfast Creek and opposite Hamilton. I have lived in my 1929 Queenslander with my wife and family since 1983. The suburb of Bulimba has undergone a massive explosion in that period - transforming from a local village to an up-market residential area with cinema complex, restaurants and cafes (15 in the main street) and parks and sporting grounds. My lenses here capture Brisbane's lifestyle and the essence of Bulimba. My Bulimba Memorial Park lens includes a short poem I wrote in honor of the servicemen and servicewomen who gave their lives so that we could enjoy freedom today.
-

Sunshine Coast, Queensland
Nature's beauty at our doorstep! It was through creating these lenses that I came to really appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. From the stunning beauty of the Noosa Biosphere (UNESCO listed world biosphere reserve - Noosa Heads and Noosaville) to the rolling surf and holiday resorts of Mooloolaba and Maroochydore - all within two hours drive or less from Brisbane. I have also created a tribute lens for the superb photography of BarbaraJH on Flickr who has captured the unbelievable beauty of the lesser-known Maroochydore area.

Sunshine Coast Hinterland
Maleny and Montville have been favorite haunts of ours since 1981. These beautiful mountain getaways have stunning views of the Sunshine Coast and are noted for their arts and crafts. People from Brisbane (1 1/2 hours drive away) flock to these mountain towns for day visits on weekends while families and couples spend weekends or week-long holidays at one of the the many mountain resorts. The Montville lens is designed as a simulated walk down the main street (based on photos I took on a weekend visit). The Woodford Folk Festival was formerly the Maleny Folk Festival (which outgrew its initial site).

Island in the Sun: Beautiful Islands off Queensland
These lenses cover Stradboke Island and the World Heritage listed, Fraser Island (both whale watching locations). Hervey Bay which is bounded by Fraser Island is also included. There is some remarkable synchronicity in the creation of two of these lenses. I developed the Stradbroke Island lens as my 50th lens (Giant Squid) when the whales were traveling past Straddie on their route north to the warmer waters of Hervey Bay and beyond for breeding. Then I created the Hervey Bay lens (100th lens) when the whales were on their return trip with their new calves and visiting the area to rest, feed and play (before completing the 5,000 klms trip to the Antarctic).

Animals and Nature Lenses
I have a great love of animals and nature. Brisbane is blessed with a number of great rainforests that are about 1 hours drive from the city center. I feature one of them here in my Tropical Rainforest lens which is designed as a simulated walk through the rainforest on Mt. Glorious (the lens also includes an Animoto video I made from the photos I took on the actual walk through the rainforest). The Tree Meditations lens features some of my poems about trees - an obvious passion. The other two lenses show my fascination for Giant Pandas and Platypuses.

Affiliate Marketing lenses
I have been involved in affiliate marketing since 2003. I learned much of what I know about affiliate marketing via the Affiliate Classroom, now Lurn Inc. (covered in my lens, "How do Affiliate programs work?). I am now a life member of Affiliate Classroom. I learned about Personal Branding and how to blog through Affiliate Classroom and created my blog, Affiliate Marketing Coach, in 2005.

Since my early days in Internet Marketing were involved with network marketing, I have included two lenses on this topic.

Showcasing two artists -a photographer and a landscape artist
In these two lenses, I showcase the art of a photographer and a landscape/seascape painter. Like many other people I have been supremely impressed with the work of BarbaraJH on Flickr. With her explicit permission (and gratitude), I built a lens to highlight her photography of her home town, Maroochydore (one of my favorite lenses).
The other lens showcases the work of my landscape artist friend, Denis Brockie, who is a resident of Stradbroke Island. Denis is a professional artist who has held three exhibitions on the island and won the d'Arcy Doyle Landscape Prize. I used the "Who Is" format for this lens and made extensive use of Flickr's "SlideShow" facility to display Denis' paintings.
