Amused with myself and life. I said a few days back that I would have a photographic-hiatus for the next 12-18 months, all while our first child grows up. Yet it appears that cannot happen, or may not start for a while. Read on to discover how busy my photo-calendar is right now: 1. Last... Continue Reading →
Photographs at the Adelaide Clipsal500 2012
Have you seen my photographs from day 1 and 3 of the 2012 Adelaide Clipsal500? I didn't shoot as many as I have done in previous years. I feel they didn't have enough for the average punter who wanted to eat and go on show-rides, or check out the various car-brand marquees. There was about... Continue Reading →
The Value of Social Connectivity
I don't post comments/responses on other blogs as often as I should. Tonight I found an article where I found myself agreeing so much with the writer that I felt it important to respond. Nothing bad, I totally agreed with the article. Check out what I wrote. Respond if you feel the same or otherwise.... Continue Reading →
From Free to Business Blogging
I've often contemplated ways that my blog could make money. But in the end I went with 'rant about the online universe', 'random link' and 'hey check out my photography' style. Now that I have read this interesting article, I am thinking again about how I might make money from binary words. The Dark Side... Continue Reading →
Almost the Last of the Self-Portraits
There is a definite possibility that I am a little weird. Maybe even strange, nuts and crazy. But not so much that anyone would seriously notice. Unless they have seen the self-portraits I have photographed this month: I am not sorry to say that there WILL be a few more, but enough to last... Continue Reading →

A friend on Facebook has a whole series of beach shots, and in one of them she asked how to add more light to a scene. She had photographed the female model facing away from the sun, with the shallow water in the background where small waves were rolling in. She was so close to... Continue Reading →
Photographs of Adelaide City
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 →
2012, Year of My Baby Photographer
I am using 2012 to refind my writing-mojo, get back on track and to get creative with my articles. I am determined to read and write a lot more about photographic subjects. Why the sudden importance on this? There's going to be a baby in our house in 5 months time (thus the interesting title... Continue Reading →
Street Photography in 2012
In 2012, I was drawn to the idea of capturing the multi-dimensional views of Adelaide's inner city architecture through street photography. My goal was to showcase the intricate relationship between the city's built environment and the bustling life that unfolds within it. With every photograph, I aimed to transcend the conventional portrayal of cityscapes, delving... Continue Reading →
