Before heading out to the Lady Daly last night, I had 40minutes spare to take a walk around Adelaide City whilst waiting for my ride. So I walked down Rundle Mall and back up Grenfell Street. Here are my favorite of the many photographs I shot.... Yes, an eclectic bunch of photographs that simply appealed... Continue Reading →
Dinner and Drinks at the Lady Daly
My wife and I attended her work's belated-Christmas-2011 dinner last night (28 January 2012), held at the Lady Daly Hotel. I've not been there in over 12 years, back when the family of an old friend owned the place. So it was interesting to see how much the hotel has changed since. And it has,... Continue Reading →
Exceeding the Possibilities
This mornings train ride was most interesting and enlightening. Particularly as I was reading Jack Welch's book on leadership. But moreso because of the phone conversation I heard behind me. Despite only hearing only one side of it, much of the details were a bad inditement of the attitude of this person an probably many... Continue Reading →

It makes the contents of the bowl look bigger and last longer. So she says. 2 x spoons. Only if you aren't in a healthy relationship... Continue Reading →

I ask because I recently made friends with a guy on the train (after righting an injustice), and I wanted to offer him an opportunity that he would not otherwise be able... Continue Reading →

It's great to know that a quote given by one of the original Tuskegee pilots said during the discussion-days with the actors went on to become the most important quote to come out of this film: Red Tails Nothing is difficult, everything is a challenge. When you think about it, that is the best way... Continue Reading →
Photography, My Recreational Diversion
"Photography to the amateur is recreation, to the professional it is work, and hard work too, no matter how pleasurable it my be" ~ E. Weston I found this quote upon the Facebook-wall of Mel Neumann, a fellow photographer here in Adelaide, South Australia. Whilst I like the quote, it bugged me that it defines... Continue Reading →
An Evening with Kristen Weaver
Last night (05.Sept.2011), I had the good fortune to hear Kristen Weaver speak about the last two years of her photographic journey - between amateur and photographic stardom! I arrrived at the venue about 6pm, but PW's were not opening the doors until 6.45pm. So I stood and waited. The reason I tell you this is because it... Continue Reading →
