The Entrepreneurial Life of Stephen Mitchell
Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Be Better.
I've had a long and fruitful weekend, loaded to the brim with photography! From shooting, to editing, to uploading, to appraising, to critiquing, to choosing, and learning new techniques for ideas, I pretty-much eat, breathe, and sleep with photography! It's now 9pm (after watching 2 episodes of TBBT) on a Sunday night, and I still... Continue Reading →
One of the most enjoyable characters to shoot at the Adelaide Christmas Pageant is the clowns. The guys and girls who volunteer their time seem to have a ceaseless abundance of energy. They travel back and forth with the parade, often stopping to mimic the characters on the floats - all to keep the crowds... Continue Reading →

I watched many kids twirling streamers, blowing bubbles and even a few throwing a large beach-ball. Or was that a clown... Continue Reading →

Setting up the tripod, allowing for the time of day, adjusting filters and lens aperture in accordance with the light available AND/OR adding a polariser or ND filter. Usually I walk around the property first, getting an idea... Continue Reading →
At least four times a year I call Kangaroo Island home. But the remainder of the time, this is my family home backyard: Having the bushland in the valley means I can find interesting places and local wildlife to photograph any time. Life is good.
Seems many smokers in the Adelaide CBD believe it is acceptable to stub out their cigarettes in the garden beds around their office. I don't believe it is acceptable at all. What makes it worse is that the canisters for their cancer-filled paper remains are stuck in the ground alongside the organic life that we... Continue Reading →
