Observations on Being a Weekend Father, Creating New Memories and Figuring Life Out
I'm still hurting pretty badly in my right ankle. My war wounds from my attempts at flying are still causing me much angst, pain and misery. Earlier this evening I was feeling a pinched nerve in my ankle, so thinking it was just the tube-sock-bandage I rolled it back to survey the damage. The view... Continue Reading →
Let me first premise this article with the dialogue from which the title was born: There is an art, it says, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. … Clearly, it is this second part, the missing, which presents the difficulties. ~... Continue Reading →
Yes, I have switched over to Google+ . Also known as "G+" More on this issue as the concept develops further. All I am mentioning is where you can download the Google+ icons!
I have held back for far too long in my self-learning of web design. Whilst I established my ability at coding HTML and CSS as early as 2002, I've not spent a lot of time since then expanding my knowledge. But now that I want to re-design my website to bring into the latest arena,... Continue Reading →
I take self portraits wherever and whenever I can: There's more, but these are my favorites.
When I was about eight-years-old, I got hit by a car coming around a bus. I stupidly jumped off at a bus-stop, ran to the back of the bus, turned and ran across the road behind the bus. The two previous days I had made it across successfully and ran into the front-yard of my... Continue Reading →
Most Australians would know by now that BORDERS are in liquidation. As an avid book reader, I am dismayed by this, yet am thankful we have other great book suppliers in Adelaide. (Dymocks and Angus&Robertson to name a few!) Despite knowing about the liquidation a few months ago, it wasn't until tonight that I actually... Continue Reading →
Decided to compile a list of best methods I can get the wife to wake up this morning! At no time were any of these ideas attempted. We have a happy relationship. I'd like to keep it that way.. 1. Airhorn. One blast will put them on the ceiling, the second blast will bring out their... Continue Reading →
After a recent tragedy (~someone I had the good fortune to meet several times, and talk with more than a dozen times, took his own life), I decided it was time to post this list as it has often helped me put the whole world into a new perspective. As Long As You Are Alive... Continue Reading →
Wow, It has been about two years since I visited the Adelaide Zoo! My favourite animal to photograph is the Flamingo. They are a beautiful bird with a prestigious aura about them. Since it is highly improbable that the aged pair of flamingo's we have remaining will ever breed, one can only hope the Zoo... Continue Reading →
The first five words in a series that will be published weekly. These five are actually acronyms, yet just as important to know. DIY 'Do It Yourself' (Sometimes, 'Destroy It Yourself') Photographers, probably more than any other group are known for ingenious modifications, hacks and inventions created as inexpensive methods to get a better photograph....

I'm always looking at better ways to present myself online, both professionally and personally. The hardest part is writing descriptive words that sound neither egotistical nor arrogant. So we sometimes spend time reading about other people to discover ourselves. Which is what I have done for most of this afternoon. Whilst my original plan today... Continue Reading →
