Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Be Better.
Yet again I am looking at Headphones! Why? During a 5KIxFM90.7 committee meeting earlier this week, we determined I am the ONLY radio presenter without personal headphones. The station has two sets in-station for guests, but because of Covid-19 every presenter is required to have their own. A few months back I first posted about... Continue Reading →
First you read about and saw photographs of them all; Now see the video about all the sunglasses I have for sale. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_AcaILPqYY Did you watch till the end? Did I look good or did I look good in those funky sunnies? That took me 1 hour to script, 2 hours to shoot, 3 days... Continue Reading →
I shot, produced, and uploaded this video where I share a story from 2017. It revolves around my initial move to Kangaroo Island and a memorable encounter with a group of random women who yelled at me for vlogging on a public beach. This video offers an odd narrative, shedding light on the challenges vloggers... 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 →
I create videos for my own YouTube channel. Thanks to this video by Matti Haapoja, I discovered GlideCams. I've now discovered they are near impossible to stabilize, and can already see it being a dust-collector in my office. Damn. Here is my recent video of me doing a 'mail-opening' of my new GlideCam. I shot... Continue Reading →

To ensure my artwork presented as best as possible, I purchased twenty 400mm x 500mm frames from Adelaide Photographic Wholesalers, plus had Atkins printed 20 of... Continue Reading →
Back in 2017 (close to when we first moved to Kangaroo Island) I heard through the local grapevine there was going to be fireworks on this particular night. I got my gear together, I ran to the oval, and captured it all, edited that night, and had it online before anyone could ask "Was that... Continue Reading →
My latest vlog includes: A quick review of the new pathways running from the penguin walk to the top of Reeves Point in Kingscote, and A leisurely midday stroll on at least two of the three Kingscote jetties, plus Some good news about me. I say it a few times, the 2nd and 3rd times... Continue Reading →
Watch to the end to see the difference between 18mm and 400mm when I photograph the yellow sign stuck on the rocks through to the next beach! https://youtu.be/57r3RX_aJeg
