As a consequence of the great customer service I received today, I now only shop at ONE retail-outlet for ALL my photographic equipment! Adelaide photographers are the most unlucky when it comes to photographic-retail outlets. Our options are limited. There are very few retail outlets within the Adelaide CBD, nor in the suburbs! And then... Continue Reading →
Talking, Listening, Learning and Getting on the WWW
Something I never thought I would one day be saying: "I am a plurker." It sits right along side "I google, twitter, facebook, wish on amazon, read on bloglines, sell on zazzle, listen on T61, and I am a redbubble veteran!" No doubt there is going to be a lot of people saying "What the...?",... Continue Reading →
Make a Home-Made Snoot for your Flash-Gun
I've had this idea for a snoot for about six months. But the issue was how to fit the square peg (flash gun) into the round white plastic ("Betty Crocker" frosting tub). A few nights ago the idea appeared before in my day-bag: About eighteen months ago I got a Apple Touch. Within six months,... Continue Reading →
Revamp, Redesign, Redirection
Have you noticed that I have added a new category into my articles? Yes, logo design, graphic creation and small-business branding will now be featured within my journal. Why? Most recently a new friend ask me to assist with revamping the logo for a small-business with which he is involved. He said he believed I... Continue Reading →
Three as One
These three images are of dry ground on Kangaroo Island. They were photographed about 18 months ago. Merged with them are photographs from the same farm, of chains buried in the ground when the ground was wetter, plus of water-tanks that will never hold water again due to rust-holes. Buy them before they dry out.
Four Days on Kangaroo Island
Today I have returned from a fun four days on Kangaroo Island. I hadn't planned nor even wanted to go - due to a fairly bad case of the flu. But despite the insistent cough, my wife and I stayed with her parents for four days. The first day was non-eventful as we didn't get... Continue Reading →
Ready to Surf the NEXT Google Wave?
Personally, I don't think Google Wave is going to revolutionise the world. Sure, Microsoft did manage to manipulate and monopolise the market 30-something years ago, but I don't see Google doing that here. With 100,000 invitations criss-crossing the planet, maybe a further 900,000 humans will find a way to either catch a ride or jump... Continue Reading →
Short Walk in the Forest
Last weekend I went for a walk to the bottom of the valley. I didn't have any agenda, nor any destination, but I did want some exercise and a day to simply freshen up my mind and spirit. Well, I succeeded. I am so glad I live a beautiful part of the world. Here are... Continue Reading →
Architectural Advancement
Adelaide is a'changing. The architecture has progressed from sandstone and gargoyles to concrete and glass. Here is the progression of just one building here in Adelaide. Watch how it changed from a large shed that housed the Trams into a large glass box.
Aero-Toys
My father makes model aeroplanes. He made the first flying Snoopy DogHouse back in the mid 1980's. Dad also made a flying Super Man (where one of my brothers was used to get the shape right!) that was basically 2'-thick foam with 3 wheels for landing and a propeller at the pointy end. To fly,...

Panorama of Adelaide Hills
Eight panorama photographs from today's walk in the Adelaide hills. Be sure to view them upon my flickr gallery and leave comments on them. Your opinion appreciated. All photographs stitched together with AutoStitch.
Afternoon in the Park
Four of my many interesting photographs shot on Sunday afternoon at the Wittunga Botanic Gardens. As you can see, I like the 'macro abstract' shots! Plus one extra showing a panorama of the lake:
