For those who didn't know already, I am one of the many artists selling artwork upon Redbubble.com. But I am one a few who buys his own artwork. Tonight I got to thinking: How many different uses can I find for a Redbubble card? Could my readers suggest something that I couldn't think of myself?... Continue Reading →
Over the last few years I've taken it upon myself to get involved with the leadership of online photography groups. It first began on flickr.com in early 2006, and in just the last few weeks I've gotten involved with the creation of a very new group upon Redbubble.com.Read on to discover all the groups I...

A mate on LinkedIn recently messaged me with this corker of a question: "You might have to explain to me how to get some sales through Redbubble. I had a bunch of images there for a while and have accrued 0 sales. B$%#S&$#" Alas, I both remember and know this pain. Redbubble isn’t exactly a... Continue Reading →

Although it rained 99 percent of the time (thereby preventing me from taking my camera out of the house), I managed to capture the sunset on the return journey upon the SEALINK Ferry back to Cape Jervis. Thanks to flickr and careful... Continue Reading →
I have another new lens on order! This little beauty is a Canon EF 60mm f2.8 Macro USM. I've only used it once very briefly, whilst buying my Canon EFS 18-5mm f/3.5-5.6 IS zoom lens earlier this year. I almost purchased it back then, but one of the salespeople said it was not nearly as... Continue Reading →
An email I received a few days back was George Carlin's View on Age. This is a very amusing look at the state of mind of humans as they age. Yet aging is an inevitable part of life. As the years go by, our bodies change, and wrinkles and gray hair become our constant companions.... Continue Reading →
