Ten years ago I began building my digital photography gear. With a Canon 400 Rebel, I photographed most of Kangaroo Island effortlessly. But I had to have more more more. Within a few years I had attached a massive battery grip, acquired ELEVEN different lenses, and then my wife wanted the same camera. Suddenly new... Continue Reading →
Throw in the Towels, The State is Rain-Soaked!
Inspired by my good friend Martin Christmas, I wrote a short-prelude and poem about my experience this afternoon with the torrential-weather in South Australia.

Naming Photography Collections Appropriately
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 →
