Observations on Being a Weekend Father, Creating New Memories and Figuring Life Out
I've had a long and fruitful weekend, loaded to the brim with photography! From shooting, to editing, to uploading, to appraising, to critiquing, to choosing, and learning new techniques for ideas, I pretty-much eat, breathe, and sleep with photography! It's now 9pm (after watching 2 episodes of TBBT) on a Sunday night, and I still... Continue Reading →
Earlier tonight I was at the 'Brunswick at 5.30pm for the Startup Club: Internet Marketing - Community Discussion. I had my first drink at 5.32pm. I sat upstairs for thirty minutes, starting this article. I left at 7.00pm, so had to complete it late tonight with suitable imagery. Read on... After chatting with people, a... Continue Reading →
I left last night's #SOCADL/#SMCADL meeting wondering why I was involved with this group. I have asked myself this many a time. Their were amazing people, interesting conversations, roads to take me along new paths in all aspects of my life. Yet I still not understanding why I had chosen to get involved with this...

You read correctly: My photography will be displayed in yet another exhibition this year! But not alone this time: Thanks to the lovely lady, Sharon Leaney (Marketing Consultant) at Adelaide Arcade who enabled and assisted all the artists who displayed in the Arcade during SALA 2010: Seven artists will be displaying a variety of awesome...

The last time I was at a DeadReds Wake, I was approached by a lovely young lady who was adamant she knew me- yet I could neither remember her face nor name.When she asked about my brothers, by name, I realised that we knew each other. Yet I had no memory of her whatsoever.We talked... Continue Reading →
I've been shooting group and portrait photography at the Dead Red Wakes since wake #4 in mid 2009. They're always a blast, and not only for the wine! Whilst they are open to anyone to attend, a core-group regularly attend whom I enjoy capturing them meeting, greeting and talking to each other! To make it... Continue Reading →
If you haven't heard: I am exhibiting twenty framed photographs of sea-scenes around Kangaroo Island. They are on display at Shop 141, upstairs in Adelaide Arcade. Please visit, I am there most days as an 'artist in residence'! On Friday night we had the grand launch where approximately 150 people complimented, critiqued and commented on... Continue Reading →
FastCompany is seeking the most influential people on the internet. I'm not sure how they are calibrating this system, but it is (at least) a great way to see how viral a site can be. By connecting with people via the many popular social-network sites, and encouraging participants to encourage others to join, this could... Continue Reading →
Over the last few years I have attended many interesting photography MeetUps. As I have always enjoyed meeting and talking with new people, I continued organising MeetUps enabling Adelaide Photographers to meet, greet and shoot at various locations. I organised the City-Walk MeetUp in May 2009 where 30 people from Flickr, Redbubble and PhotoWhosalers met... Continue Reading →
Most bosses are worried about the probability that you are viewing unsavoury internet sites, so they periodically send emails or bulletins outlining the strict usage of the internet for work-purposes. A few years back they were concerned with excessive band-width usage and download over-capacity, which is not really a problem if they have change their... Continue Reading →
It would appear that I use the internet differently to most people. 1. I don't want to lead large groups of people. I prefer to be part of the group, get involved with the machinations and converse with the crowds. Yes, I am the leader of the Adelaide/SA Photographers on Redbubble. It is merely a...

Yep, I am now connected with 44 of the most amazing photographers on the planet. See if you can find the 45th person whose too humble to consider himself an amazing photographer.
