Throw it out a window! I love this joke! It is amazingly simple, requires no extra funding, and can be achieved by anyone with a strong arm and a window. I highly suggest you open the window first. The first floor is probably enough, but from the roof makes for a grander impression upon the... Continue Reading →
Having Fun Creating Graphic Art Again
Last night I spent a few more hours manipulating pixels to put young Andrew into various amusing scenes. Let me get you up-to-speed on this situation: When Ben Cottle (@Benaud) first presented this photograph of his son, Andrew, (at left of text) on his Plurk time-line, I jokingly suggested that it "looks more like Luke...

Having Fun Creating Graphic Art
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 →
The Secret to Being the Best in Your Art
The secret to being the best at anything? You have to want to learn. You have to want to learn. You have to want to learn. You have to want to learn. The answer is not as obvious as you might think: Repetition. Saying, studying, doing and performing the same thing over and over and... Continue Reading →
One Full Monday
After a loooong day at work, I settled into the evening not knowing what would come of it. I had a few things planned, but most were undoable (terrible word, yet apt) due to this cold that has grabbed me quite by surprise. So I sat the computer avoiding all that aggravated my headache and... Continue Reading →

ImageKind - 'ezcreate' Zazzle - 'eztephen' Flickr - 'stephenliveshere' Tonight I discovered and started adding the... Continue Reading →
Macro Photography at Wittunga
I have a lovely 60mm dedicated-macro Canon lens that fits very nicely into my Canon EOS 400D. Today the sun is out and the sky is mostly-blue, so I am going with Susan Adey, a fellow photographer upon Redbubble. We visited the flowers at the Wittunga Botanic Gardens, shooting their petals and features at all... Continue Reading →
King Charles
This is my mother's pet "King Charles Cavalier Spaniel", named "Charlie". Charles is a lovely little dog who loves a lot of attention. Last time we visited I had a great opportunity to shoot a few interesting photographs as he ran around. Because Charlie would not stand still, he was put on the lower deck... Continue Reading →
The Austin A70 Hampshire Utility
This is the very rare Austin A70 Hampshire Ute (or PickUp), albeit a little worse for wear and completely beyond restoration. But I like it that way. This once beautiful car will probably rust all the way back into the ground from whence its metal and leather parts originated. The car is currently located on... Continue Reading →
