The Entrepreneurial Life of Stephen Mitchell
Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Be Better.
On Monday afternoon (30.Jan.2017) I decided to take my Canon EOSM with 22mm Lens with me on one of my daily exercise walks. Originally I had intended to walk into Kingscote to get a coffee at Chocol'Art, but somehow I chose to go in the opposite direction: I went up the hill - and discovered... Continue Reading →
This time last year we made a BIG decision: To move our family to Kangaroo Island. Explaining the benefits to each of our families actually didn't take a lot, but there are a few who have not yet been there. Yesterday morning I videoed some of my morning walk. Because of the tranquillity of Kingscote,... Continue Reading →
About a month ago I updated a few posts from my archives. Here is the next lot of posts from my archives, also updated. I couldn’t stop myself. 1. Can I Convert an Image from RGB to CMYK? ~ First posted on January 16, 2010 2. Optimise your Chances of Being Seen Online ~ First... Continue Reading →

What makes me smile? Remembering that in 1986 I wore a white suit (with tails), white shoes, and I think I also had a white top hat, to my senior prom.

Being a casual enthusiastic semi-professional photographer has been good for me. I truly enjoy any moment I have a camera in my hand. My family has gotten used to it over the years. I often arrive at weekend events with at least one camera. It is getting more common to hear my oldest say "Daddy,... Continue Reading →
Whilst discussing the issue of cleaning and clearing our home to the point that I feel comfortable to transport all that remains to our new home on Kangaroo Island, I found was defining my true self. Lisa said "Enjoy the process [of decluttering] and be kind to yourself – watch the minimalists." At first I... Continue Reading →
My relations stopped buying gifts for “everyone over 18” some years ago. I'm guessing I was outvoted. So because my birthday is within weeks of Xmas, I haven't received a gift from anyone in about 15-20 years. Now I buy gifts for my boys. So my lounge room is cluttered with both franchised and educational... Continue Reading →
This mesaage is circulating the internet, particularly Facebook. First read it through, then answer this: Is it at all feasible? Do you really think anyone in Parliament house is going to say "Oh that makes sense, let's make radical changes overnight!" Proposals to make politicians shoulder their share of the weight now that the Age... Continue Reading →
