Thanks to a comment one night on my Facebook status, I spent the previous night dreaming through what my life would be like without a job. It wasn't pretty, I did NOT like it. Whilst my brain might be a bit addled these days with 'Severe Vertigo', I still have the power to think, reason,... Continue Reading →
How Vulnerability Helped Me Find Myself
About two weeks ago my emotions ran wild and nearly overtook my normal crazy creative state of mind. How on earth could such a thing happen? I expressed my emotions through my photography, and it was quite vivid! Yes, that is my head with string wrapped around it like a roast meat. It is experimental photography,... Continue Reading →
Lack of Civil Communication
This was written on my Apple Touch about 3 years ago, and it has been sitting on it ever since. Tonight whilst clearing out data I happened upon it again. I've decided to publish as is. Your responses are welcomed on any part of what I have said. It's our action and in-actions that effect... Continue Reading →
Babies, Humor & Photography
Earlier today I cringed through the first 3 episodes of Photo Finish. The show had some interesting points, but I was openly dismayed with how little pre-information was given to each participant prior to each photo-shoot.

It's not always easy to say, but it's... Continue Reading →
Being an Online Entrepreneur

Photography, My Recreational Diversion
"Photography to the amateur is recreation, to the professional it is work, and hard work too, no matter how pleasurable it my be" ~ E. Weston I found this quote upon the Facebook-wall of Mel Neumann, a fellow photographer here in Adelaide, South Australia. Whilst I like the quote, it bugged me that it defines... Continue Reading →
The Power of Advertising on Social Media
As a graphic artist, I find advertising of my work upon social media is quite effective. Here is today's example of how much a little self-promotion can work: For the last few hours I have been updating my entire Redbubble Tshirt Collection. This has included editing a few works, changing fonts, adding text-shadows, plus lowering... Continue Reading →
