Have you seen my photographs from day 1 and 3 of the 2012 Adelaide Clipsal500? I didn't shoot as many as I have done in previous years. I feel they didn't have enough for the average punter who wanted to eat and go on show-rides, or check out the various car-brand marquees. There was about... Continue Reading →
Almost the Last of the Self-Portraits
There is a definite possibility that I am a little weird. Maybe even strange, nuts and crazy. But not so much that anyone would seriously notice. Unless they have seen the self-portraits I have photographed this month: I am not sorry to say that there WILL be a few more, but enough to last... Continue Reading →
Better Beach Photography
A friend on Facebook has a whole series of beach shots, and in one of them she asked how to add more light to a scene. She had photographed the female model facing away from the sun, with the shallow water in the background where small waves were rolling in. She was so close to... Continue Reading →
Photographs of Adelaide City
Before heading out to the Lady Daly last night, I had 40minutes spare to take a walk around Adelaide City whilst waiting for my ride. So I walked down Rundle Mall and back up Grenfell Street. Here are my favorite of the many photographs I shot.... Yes, an eclectic bunch of photographs that simply appealed... Continue Reading →
Dinner and Drinks at the Lady Daly
My wife and I attended her work's belated-Christmas-2011 dinner last night (28 January 2012), held at the Lady Daly Hotel. I've not been there in over 12 years, back when the family of an old friend owned the place. So it was interesting to see how much the hotel has changed since. And it has,... Continue Reading →
2012, Year of My Baby Photographer
I am using 2012 to refind my writing-mojo, get back on track and to get creative with my articles. I am determined to read and write a lot more about photographic subjects. Why the sudden importance on this? There's going to be a baby in our house in 5 months time (thus the interesting title... Continue Reading →
Street Photography in 2012
In 2012, I was drawn to the idea of capturing the multi-dimensional views of Adelaide's inner city architecture through street photography. My goal was to showcase the intricate relationship between the city's built environment and the bustling life that unfolds within it. With every photograph, I aimed to transcend the conventional portrayal of cityscapes, delving... Continue Reading →
Donating Photography for a Worthy Cause
I am donating three framed photographs! These are from the 20 that I exhibited during my SALA 2010 exhibition, to a silent auction at my day job. One of my work colleagues at my day-job is participating in SuperCycle 2012. What is this all about? Most of us would know somebody who has been affected... Continue Reading →
Understanding and Appreciating the Effort of Photographers
A Facebook friend and fellow photographer responded to my addeddum with... ..., ask a landscape photographer how much "fun" it is freezing their nuts off setting up for a sunrise shot of a frozen lake, ... I very quickly wrote a response. But realising it was getting quite lengthy, I decided to publish it here... Continue Reading →
Photography, My Recreational Diversion
"Photography to the amateur is recreation, to the professional it is work, and hard work too, no matter how pleasurable it my be" ~ E. Weston I found this quote upon the Facebook-wall of Mel Neumann, a fellow photographer here in Adelaide, South Australia. Whilst I like the quote, it bugged me that it defines... Continue Reading →
My Flower Photographs
My collection of Flower Photographs: Ranging in colours between Pink, Red, Yellow, Orange, Yellow and Blue! Shot at many locations around South Australia, New South Wales and Queensland, each a state of Australia, these beautiful flowers were found in front-yards, native gardens, open-gardens and some in the wild. Each one of these photographs links back... Continue Reading →
An Evening with Kristen Weaver
Last night (05.Sept.2011), I had the good fortune to hear Kristen Weaver speak about the last two years of her photographic journey - between amateur and photographic stardom! I arrrived at the venue about 6pm, but PW's were not opening the doors until 6.45pm. So I stood and waited. The reason I tell you this is because it... Continue Reading →
