A Simple Life

'The meaning of life is to live fully - not plastic pleasure, not tinsel town pleasure - to live simply and enjoy life' - Lindsay Murray

Lindsay lives in a small town in the South Island of New Zealand. He lives a simple life, filled with simple pleasures. He believes that we've replaced beauty with what money can purchase. And through this, have lost connection with the real beauty, the bountiful gifts of nature, that are accessible to us all.
