A few nights ago I was pondering if I should give my photography collections fancy names. I wanted to use interesting words that described the nature of the collection yet without sounding all pretentious and prissy. It still had to sound masculine, yet attracting everyone. So I did what everyone does: I googled a few... Continue Reading →

Using Twitter to Get Camera Recommendations
Hard to believe it, I have had a Twitter account since mid 2008. For a long time it was just something I looked at from time to time, not understanding how anyone could cross-converse in such a hectic and vibrant community. It looked (and sometimes still does) like a bazillion monkeys chattering over the top... Continue Reading →
Is The Camera Destroying Our Memory? | Fstoppers
http://fstoppers.com/is-the-camera-destroying-our-memory Apparently excessive photography will decrease my memory. Well, dur, that's why 64GB memory cards, cheap 1TB external HD's, & cloud storage were invented. But seriously ... what were we talking about? ;)
Hidden in Plain View
One of the best points of having 'Casual Clothes Friday', particularly for me, is being able to hide in plain site.

I won't... Continue Reading →
Upward View of the Adelaide CBD Horizon

I have gone through it with a fine tooth comb: Below I have listed the pages and Fee-ID's that might be of interest to the photographers of our great and ever-growing inner-city. Page 20,...

Quote Mash of the Day
"Last minute necessity is the mother of entrepreneurial invention." Between camera stores, seeking a particular part for my tripod, I muttered it to myself in 2013.

It's always about seeing how I can shoot architecture and people in either an abstract or enlightened way' Check out all my night photo's shot over the last six years, all displayed upon my Flickr Gallery. This last one... Continue Reading →
Capturing Architectural History through Photography
Much earlier this evening, as I was traversing the Adelaide CBD seeking a bus to escape the ropes of employment, I spotted the remains of a non-heritage building. The demolition crew were surveying the fine mess they had made, the dust settling around them ... so I took the moment to sneak a few photos... Continue Reading →
Circular Photographs
I have soooo many photographs on my flickr account that I had to figure out a new way to show them off. So I went with 'circular'. It helps that my most recent photographs are of Christmas lanterns, light globes and buckets -- yes, all very circular objects. So here goes: Here are 12 photos... Continue Reading →
