Hey my dudes! Thought I'd say hi and introduce myself :D

Hi everyone! I'm @ziggazune (or Jesse) and this is my first post on Steemit.

I'm Australian originally but now live in New Zealand. I'm a pastor (which, for those of you who are not religious is a rare thing for a young white male under 30) in a small city in the North Island, and I love it. Ministry is super challenging but also super rewarding.

I have a heap of differing interests which hopefully can add value to Steemit. I bought my first DSLR at the age of 15 and ever since then I've photographed casually. I've done it for weddings, couples, and events, but my real photographic passion is in landscapes. Here are a few examples:

I might upload some under the photography tag if people like them.

Finally, as a pastor, of course I love talking about faith, spiritual things, and how we can live better lives together. Recently I've been influenced by figures like Dr Jordan B Peterson; especially his Biblical lectures (which, even if you're an atheist, I'd highly recommend you'd check out). As such, I'll probably be sharing some spiritual thoughts at some point. If you're spiritual - great. If you're not - great. I love talking to different people from different backgrounds and learning together. Hopefully Steemit will be a great place to foster such a culture.

Anyway, for now - adios! Hit me up in the comments and I'll see you around!
