Bevin's "Home Page"  coming to you from New South Wales, AUSTRALIA.
 
My name is Bevin Stringer and I live in a small coastal town on the east coast of AUSTRALIA. I joined the Royal Australian Navy in 1960 at the age of sixteen. After 12 months training as a Junior Recruit  I became a member of the Photographic Branch.
I loved photography and really enjoyed my time in the Phot Branch. I left the Navy in July 1972 to spend more time with my family and to enjoy civilian life.  I then worked for  3M Australia Pty. Ltd for many years.
This web site is all about my enjoyment of photography over many years - so expect to see lots of photos here.
