As a consequence of the great customer service I received today, I now only shop at ONE retail-outlet for ALL my photographic equipment! Adelaide photographers are the most unlucky when it comes to photographic-retail outlets. Our options are limited. There are very few retail outlets within the Adelaide CBD, nor in the suburbs! And then... Continue Reading →
Talking, Listening, Learning and Getting on the WWW
Something I never thought I would one day be saying: "I am a plurker." It sits right along side "I google, twitter, facebook, wish on amazon, read on bloglines, sell on zazzle, listen on T61, and I am a redbubble veteran!" No doubt there is going to be a lot of people saying "What the...?",... Continue Reading →
Make a Home-Made Snoot for your Flash-Gun
I've had this idea for a snoot for about six months. But the issue was how to fit the square peg (flash gun) into the round white plastic ("Betty Crocker" frosting tub). A few nights ago the idea appeared before in my day-bag: About eighteen months ago I got a Apple Touch. Within six months,... Continue Reading →
20 Reminders to Live, Love and Do More
In 1993 I bought a little book entitled "Just Do It" that includes a heap of inspirational and quotable gems. I still read it in 2009 because, heck, we all need a little inspiration from time to time. I love quotes that both remind me that I am only human, plus those that give me... Continue Reading →

Quality Reading to Inspire Everyone
For a few years I have been reading posts by Chris Pearson over at Pearsonified. His site-design is less cluttered than many, thus making his articles easy to follow and read. Chris posts are always informative and teach old-tricks in new ways and in a different light. This may sound like what every one is... Continue Reading →
The IE6 Mouse Pad
My IE6 Mouse Pad. Design also appears on T-shirt and Mug. I have caught the Zazzle-bug. Yeah, I have my own store-front. I';m slowly moving all my shirts from my Redbubble gallery (that are not related to photography) over to Zazzle. This was going to be just another shirt to put onto my Redbubble gallery,...

History: March 2008
A year ago I was writing a lot more regularly. I'd like to return to that much writing per day and week. I do enjoy both typing and pencilling articles or stories, yet I rarely get to the stage of typing them up. Other interests have taken over that time slot. There were a few... Continue Reading →
Twelve Hours to Change Your Ways
Prelude This article was originally published on my original blogspot in 2003 and closed down in mid 2006 before moving across the WordPress. Thankfully it has now disappeared into the void, but not before I archived the entire 3 years of articles. Many will never be published again, except for a few that I particularly...

In Your Yard
Forever thinking of entrepreneurial ways to make a few extra dollars to supplement my income, I dreamt up yet another interesting idea that incorporates my love of photography and gardening. Plus it enables me to escape the office cubicle, see beyond the partitions, and talk with people who share the same fascination of a well-designed... Continue Reading →
Free Speech
This is my view. It may not be yours. Yet it makes sense to me: Free speech is the freedom to express an opinion and/or oppose a view without fear of repercussion from your employer nor government - regardless of your gender, skin-colour or nationality. This freedom does not say you cannot be arrested for... Continue Reading →
A Wheelbarrow Each
In every community, there are people who build ideas into projects that are fruitful. These individuals make big things happen at either a community or national level. They plant the seeds of small ideas in the minds of many - then watch the growth spread like a wheel around the community. This method of making... Continue Reading →
