The Entrepreneurial Life of Stephen Mitchell
Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Live Better.
What did I do tonight? Not a lot really, at least for me. 1. Designed two backgrounds for @Digsby: 1a. Background #1. This was a quick idea, nothing more, nothing less. Figured it might as well be submitted. 1b. Background #2 is still in the moderation queue. I spent a whole hour on it, having... Continue Reading →
After ten years online, I now have my photography and graphics available to view and purchase at FIVE different online locations, and each under a different pseudonym: Redbubble - 'stephentrepreneur' PhotoWhosalers - 'Stephen Mitchell' - Yes, my real name!

I've accomplished the seemingly impossible: I've cloned myself!. After many phone calls around Australia, all four of us met in my backyard for this photo shoot. Below are my four clone brothers wearing two of my Redbubble shirts and two t-shirts purchased from other Redbubble artists, and me wearing an un-official Apple iPhone shirt! Yes,...

Many of them are not publishable because they are businesses that can afford to sue... Continue Reading →

Here are a few more, also shot on Kangaroo Island, to keep you tantalised and amazed at what can be achieved WITHOUT a tripod. Expect more like this: I am having heaps of fun shooting panoramic...

I had a bit of fun last night with GIMP. I had an idea to build an image that incorporated my Redbubble photography. Whilst I like the results, I'm still not sure how or if I will incorporate into them into the layout of my site. I've already had someone say to me "Hey, that'd... Continue Reading →
More often I don't read the instructions. They are usually filled with waffle and glossy pictures. Sometimes I find the step-by-step instructions are either inadequate or incomplete. I prefer to jump in feet first and swim my way up, then I re-write the instructions. With that in mind, I've got a small project to do... Continue Reading →
This afternoon my wife and I went into the Adelaide CBD to shop at the Central Markets. Thankfully she let me take a walk into Victoria Square with my camera. After the sun had hidden itself behind the Hilton Hotel, I decided there was still enough light in the sky to attempt a panorama. Without... Continue Reading →
