Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Live Better.
On Monday afternoon (30.Jan.2017) I decided to take my Canon EOSM with 22mm Lens with me on one of my daily exercise walks. Originally I had intended to walk into Kingscote to get a coffee at Chocol'Art, but somehow I chose to go in the opposite direction: I went up the hill - and discovered... Continue Reading →
I'll admit it, I can't sit still for long. I thrive on creativity, be it thinking, designing, writing, or crafting art. Staying upbeat and being a good parent is my mantra, and I steer clear of negativity. You probably know me as a photographer, but I lost my photography spark back in 2016. Fortunately, around...

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 →

Featuring an equivalent focal length of 35mm, the Canon EF-M 22mm offers a fast constant aperture of f/2, stepping motor for smooth and quiet... Continue Reading →
