About Benjamin

Benjamin B. Alldridge is an occasional Pulitzer winner with a D.Sc., the owner of a private jet and a Caribbean island, and an award-winning space and nature photographer. Several of these facts are lies.

Aside from writing in the third person for some inexplicable reason, I am:

  • originally from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, but now reside in Launceston, Tasmania (lutruwita), Australia

  • a former marine biologist

  • a current software engineer

  • an amateur space weather forecaster

  • a marginally less amateur space weather photographer

  • likely to drive 750km in a single sitting just because 'the sky was clear'

  • … or because ‘it wasn’t’

  • something of a fool

  • a part-time music journalist

  • occasionally found taking many photos of people

  • … and their butts

  • way too fond of sarcasm

  • even more fond of interesting vanity basins

So, pretty normal one might say.
