I have dug up a few photographs of myself in better times. Ah, how I miss those times. There is a link within each image that takes you to a bigger version. See you if you can find the splicing faults! This first one is from when we renovated the backyard. For about 3 months... Continue Reading →
Using Pain to Focus on What Matters
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 →
Four Simple Tips for Selling Products by Phone
I've been housebound for about 3 weeks, suffering from Gastro, Severe Vertigo, and Tinnitus. Consequently, I have had to deal with the 3 or 4 telephone calls each day that, according to the person ringing, are not selling anything. Yet, ultimately, they are. What has rattled me today is not that they call me - but they... Continue Reading →
Keeping My Creative Spirit and Grit
Whilst watching this amazingly inciteful video earlier this morning, I got to thinking about moments for photographs that are stuck in my mind, yet I have not had the opportunity to return with a camera to capture them.

I hope you like it as much: This single flower is one of a bunch purchased for the elderly matriarch within my wife's family. This lovely woman is nearing 92 years old. Whilst age is taking her hearing and eyesight, her wit... 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 →
Passing Judgment Online is Never Easy
One of the photography-groups I have integrated into upon Facebook is aimed at TOG's, MUA's and Models. It enables all of us to network for photo-shoots, discuss issues and compare ideas. What I also enjoy about it most is 'Controversy Wednesday' - where one or more people will put forward an arguement or statement to... 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. To make up for that horrific experience, I then watched the very funny yet inspirational (and, dare I say... Continue Reading →
