Observations on Being a Weekend Father, Creating New Memories and Figuring Life Out
Every time I get a new device I test it rigorously before considering buying any new accessories. After two days of shooting with a Fuji FinePix XP130, I am ready to buy a charging/download cable, three spare batteries, two 64GB memory cards, and a small carry bag. Love to build a handgrip similar to GoPro... Continue Reading →
1. Listen, Learn Do! Kids need discipline, no matter what age. Yes, I sound like my father - but I have finally realized how true this is. The harder it is to enforce, the more necessary it is. I built this message out of necessity to make my kids realize that this message is a... Continue Reading →
I made a SILLY mistake: I cancelled my radio show earlier tonight because of this voice message I received in the middle of the second song. PLEASE NOTE #1: This is an AMENDED transcription of an English voice who translated a Spanish voice message. The rest has been deleted as it has been proven to... Continue Reading →
Back in mid January 2020 Kelly Noble mentioned she was organising a massive gala to raise funds for Bushfire victims on Kangaroo Island. I remember mentioning early on in the project that I'd be keen to attend. In the Last week of January I checked into see how the event was going - only to... Continue Reading →
Our 7yo son Jai wanted to take his imaginary Ender Dragon for a walk. I saw no harm. We took him to the Kingscote Farmers Market, held at the Bay of Shoals Vineyards. Jai had a blast. Fairly sure the Ender Dragon had fun too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdiAfOp6kCU Big News: We are moving house within the next... Continue Reading →
OK, this is a long article. It combines a few train-rides of hand-written notes all combined together. Take today: Upon arriving home I had to chase, with hobbled knee, to catch my 4yo boy running down the street. Wow. My hydrotherapy was wasted. Sarah needed to go out (to help her 96yo grandmother). So I... Continue Reading →
When I was a kid we weren't taught much about the rest of this world. We just accepted that we lived in Australia and a lot of other people did not. So now that we have Google Maps and Google Earth, plus the internet at our fingertips wherever we go, the world is in our... Continue Reading →

After 32 years living in multiple suburbs of Adelaide, the last 18 in the Adelaide hills, 19 years working in the CBD, we moved into Kingscote on Kangaroo Island in late 2016. All effort has been put in to rebuild my wife's honey business, plus get my artwork in display and window-washing businesses on-track. Life... Continue Reading →
Whether it be raining or sun, as a photographer and videographer this is a great spot to capture the view from Kingscote across the bay and jetties - the tidal pool. Today I was lucky enough to catch someone swimming. https://youtu.be/WSZTZ-KPzNw
Over the last 35 years there have been people whom I have had only one opportunity to meet. Why only once? Because they made life-altering choices that no one saw coming, or nobody fully realised how severe that person's state-of-mind had become. Last month I rested my hand on the shoulder of two female friends... Continue Reading →
Do you remember when I exhibited my photography at SALA 2016? Thanks to good friends, at the 11th hour I was asked if I would like to hang artwork that year. With the little savings I had available, I had a few images printed and framed - and on walls at the Catalyst Foundation Adelaide... Continue Reading →
