Observations on Being a Weekend Father, Creating New Memories and Figuring Life Out
If you haven't heard: I am exhibiting twenty framed photographs of sea-scenes around Kangaroo Island. They are on display at Shop 141, upstairs in Adelaide Arcade. Please visit, I am there most days as an 'artist in residence'! On Friday night we had the grand launch where approximately 150 people complimented, critiqued and commented on... Continue Reading →
I don't deny I've bought a lot of self-help books over the last twenty five years. Yet there are only a few that I regularly read, particularly pages and portions that pertain most to my want to fix my life. I'm one of those kids that walked around at high-school saying "This is a stepping... Continue Reading →
FastCompany is seeking the most influential people on the internet. I'm not sure how they are calibrating this system, but it is (at least) a great way to see how viral a site can be. By connecting with people via the many popular social-network sites, and encouraging participants to encourage others to join, this could... Continue Reading →
Over the last few years I have attended many interesting photography MeetUps. As I have always enjoyed meeting and talking with new people, I continued organising MeetUps enabling Adelaide Photographers to meet, greet and shoot at various locations. I organised the City-Walk MeetUp in May 2009 where 30 people from Flickr, Redbubble and PhotoWhosalers met... Continue Reading →
Whilst some might say the iPad has limited functionality, I believe the latest toy from Apple is the perfect tool for these 3 types of workers: Photographers Entrepreneurs Consultants The world is filled with people who spend their days performing many of these jobs, often in combination. With the many applications that can be installed,... Continue Reading →
Most bosses are worried about the probability that you are viewing unsavoury internet sites, so they periodically send emails or bulletins outlining the strict usage of the internet for work-purposes. A few years back they were concerned with excessive band-width usage and download over-capacity, which is not really a problem if they have change their... Continue Reading →
I have been so lucky today: My wife made the final payment on my new camera; A Canon EOS 50D! NOTE: The image above is NOT the camera I purchased, it is a Canon RF50mm 1.8 STM lens. I've been wanting this camera for about two years. Despite the other new Canon's that have arrived... Continue Reading →
It would appear that I use the internet differently to most people. 1. I don't want to lead large groups of people. I prefer to be part of the group, get involved with the machinations and converse with the crowds. Yes, I am the leader of the Adelaide/SA Photographers on Redbubble. It is merely a...

It would be fair to say that I read too many photography-magazines. I have a few years of editions Many were disposed of in mid 2016. You'd think I would subscribe. It's certainly a great way to save a LOT of money as many magazines offer incentives. What I like most about magazines is full... Continue Reading →
Me, I make decisions on a moment by moment basis. Meaning that if things change, then I change. I can adapt to almost any situation, and usually without much contemplation. I find this a good trait, yet some people think it means I am two-faced. Yeah, I can see that, but they see this as... Continue Reading →
I enjoy finding interesting books that both improve my skills plus invigorate my imagination So I add my all my books, both reference and fiction, to Goodreads.com. From there I review and find new books to read. Honestly, I'd not kept this bookshelf up-to-date at all until earlier this evening when I got an email... Continue Reading →
Dear Mr Country-Leader, Corporate-Boss, Telco, Senator of Communication in Australia, etc: The general public don't care if you do not implement their ideas. Most voters have come to expect that - they see through all your promises made days before each election. But they do care if you don't ask for their opinions, ideas and... Continue Reading →
