Past, Present and Future

It is getting closer to the birth of my first child - between 5 and 25 days remaining! Every day I wonder what gender the child will be, what name we will give it ... but most of all I imagine myself sitting here on the lounge with a baby falling asleep on my chest... Continue Reading →

The Intangible Benefit of Giving

In my last post I said I would write a poem each night throughout April. Turns out I write best when the incident or reason is recent and raw. So when the following happened last night, I wrote out the details during the train-ride home. Tonight, rather than poetry, I am writing a short story.... Continue Reading →

The Beginning of a Poet, Again

Yes, I am a poet. I don't publicize this fact all that often, and I haven't published any of my work. At least not yet. I've compiled all my poems into book-format.

Now that I have read this interesting article, I am thinking again about how I might make money from binary words. The Dark Side... Continue Reading →

Imagine Exceeding the Possibilities

This morning, while catching the train to work, I found myself reading an article discussing Jack Welch's leadership legacy. Funny how life occasionally hands you a practical example of whatever you're reading. Behind me sat a bloke on his phone. I only heard his side of the conversation, but that was enough. "I don't have... 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 →
