Today my wife and I procured our nieces from their parents, so they could enjoy a night out without the "rug rats" in tow. Without much argument, the kids agreed with our decision to take them to the Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuary. Because I had not been there in almost 20 years, I turned it into... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Slumdog Millionaire
I watched Slumdog Millionaire this evening, a two hour movie, and now I want to tell you what I enjoyed about it most. I had deliberately not read any other reviews on it, I wanted to make sure I didn't know where the next corner would take me. Because I had no preconceptions about its... Continue Reading →

Understanding the Canon Speedlite 580EX / 430EX As an owner of the 580EXii, I am often amazed by the features that are so difficult to draw out of it. It allows the... Continue Reading →

The popularity of both totally amazes me, though not because I don't like them, far from it -- I know of many people who have either purchased... Continue Reading →
