We went to a niece's 15th birthday last night. She disappeared because she doesn't handle crowds of people very well, so I went to shoot the sunset and anything else that I could find on the property. Here are the results: On My Redbubble Gallery: Evening in Belair Evening in Belair II On My Flickr... Continue Reading →
One Year Ago
One year ago today was during the Adelaide Clipsal500 car race. I spent a day at the race, inside and outside the race grounds. Astonishingly, the city was quite empty. So shots like this one below were easier to shoot without people walking through the shot . Maybe this year I'll do this again, but... Continue Reading →
Kingscote Kids (A Photo Series)
I asked, they said yes, they had fun whilst I shot these funny and amazing photographs. I told them I would tag the photographs with 'kingscotekids' and would be on flickr.com. Girl: "Flickr? What's that?" Me: "A website. F L I C K R, no e, dot com. Looks for kingscotekids." Them: "Cool \ Rad... Continue Reading →
In Your Yard
Forever thinking of entrepreneurial ways to make a few extra dollars to supplement my income, I dreamt up yet another interesting idea that incorporates my love of photography and gardening. Plus it enables me to escape the office cubicle, see beyond the partitions, and talk with people who share the same fascination of a well-designed... Continue Reading →
History Defiled
I know pain. A few years back I walked a sixteen-kilometre hike, fourteen with a busted knee. Less than two kilometres into the walk I slid down an embankment to walk around massive boulders, see the ocean up-close and photograph a MASSIVE bee-swarm. I slid down what I thought was a solid soil cliff to... Continue Reading →
Shooting Macro Flowers in February
We have a dozen interesting lens to shoot with, but the one I enjoy most is my Canon 60mm Macro. My wife has the Canon 100mm Macro. Both are amazing lens and shoot different levels of intricacy. But it's always what the artist can find that makes the difference. Whilst some might say the 100mm... Continue Reading →
A Wheelbarrow Each
In every community, there are people who build ideas into projects that are fruitful. These individuals make big things happen at either a community or national level. They plant the seeds of small ideas in the minds of many - then watch the growth spread like a wheel around the community. This method of making... Continue Reading →
Captured, Contained and Competitive
I’ve entered the AustralianPhotographers January Competition . The topic is “CONTAINED/ENCLOSED”. Kaye says it is open to interpretation, yet I went through almost a dozen pages on my flickr gallery to choose one I felt most matched the topic. Here is the photograph I have chosen: Trailer Bike This was shot upon the SEALINK ferry... Continue Reading →
Celebrating my 40th Birthday: Zoo Adventures and Surprise Parties
Today was interesting. It started out reasonably boring with the standard wake-up and breakfast, but it quickly turned into a good day for me. But don't let me jump to far ahead, there's more to this story than just what happened today... The wife and I have annual membership with ZooSA, enabling us to visit... Continue Reading →

He Jumps, He Shoots, He Scores!
I've been tagged to complete five main projects before the end of January 2009. Almost scares me to think that I would complete a project or two within the next few weeks, but I feel sure it is possible. 1. Create new logo for a new web friend. A little project that was given to... Continue Reading →
I Started A Meme!
I made the suggestion upon plurk for photographers to choose the best twelve photographs of 2008 (either one from each month or simply the favourite twelve) from their Flickr photo-gallery. Within an hour, I had chosen and published my favourite photographs of 2008. Over the last few days, three of my plurk/flickr friends also took... Continue Reading →
