Currently Reading
I enjoy finding interesting books that both improve my skills plus invigorate my imagination So I add my all my books, both reference and fiction, to Goodreads.com. From there I review and find new books to read. Honestly, I'd not kept this bookshelf up-to-date at all until earlier this evening when I got an email... Continue Reading →
SocADL, Live at the Tivoli
Yes, I was there. I went to the #SocADL meeting at the Tivoli a couple of nights back. I was the bloke who piped up about the less-than-delightful joys of club involvement, suggesting #SocADL should remain informal — bound by our online banter and interaction, rather than bogged down in regulations, procedures, or government red...

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!"

Portraits
I don't often get many opportunities to photograph humans, either in portrait or activity. The best places seem to be anyone congregating in a public place, at a party of wine-drinkers, and at a family event. Not much, but at least some of them are both willing and smiling! So when I can photograph human... Continue Reading →
Image Manipulation with GIMP
Wait, there is one more thing to add to the list of unknown fact about me that I forget to mention. Amazing, it's the most enjoyable hobby I have after photography: 1. I enjoy using GIMP to manipulate my photographs. So much so that when I found this photograph on @Rant's flickr gallery, I spent... Continue Reading →
