Despite two real-world events today, I've still managed to get onto the online world to visit and read a few world wide web sites of personal interest ... and here they are for others to read. OK, they are really published here so I don't have to bookmark them on my computer. Since Deli.ci.ious changed... Continue Reading →
Reminiscing (1996)
I almost remember it like it was yesterday, yet suddenly feel so old. The wife and I had been dating about 6 months. We had spent one evening looking after the young three daughters of my wife's Aunt, plus about nine of their friends, taking them all for dinner to local McDonalds. It was the... Continue Reading →
Bicycles in Adelaide
We are all enduring that time of the Adelaide calendar when bicycles encircle the Adelaide city & descend from the surrounding hills for the SANTOS Tour Down Under. So I felt it time to wheel out my photographs of two-wheeled non-motorised cyclists, professional and amateur, enjoying riding purely for the fun of it! Last but not... Continue Reading →
Capturing Architectural History through Photography
Much earlier this evening, as I was traversing the Adelaide CBD seeking a bus to escape the ropes of employment, I spotted the remains of a non-heritage building. The demolition crew were surveying the fine mess they had made, the dust settling around them ... so I took the moment to sneak a few photos... Continue Reading →
Twenty Dollars can buy you four hours of Motivation
Gotta thank the Coromandel Valley Rotary Club for having a plant sale yesterday afternoon (Sat 3rd November 2012). After buying five native plants for $19.50, both my wife and I were inspired to dig up the front yard. Four hours of digging up soil, raking it around and digging up weeds was painful. Here's how...

Keeping My Creative Spirit and Grit Alive
Earlier this morning, I got to thinking about moments for photographs that are stuck in my mind, yet I have not had the opportunity to return with a camera to capture them. One of them is a fog-covered and very wet parcel of land in the corner of a paddock. The view in my head... Continue Reading →
Why is There Such a Lack of Civil Communication?
This was written on my Apple Touch in 2009. Tonight whilst clearing out data I happened upon it again. I've decided to publish as is. Your responses are welcomed on any part of what I have said. It's our action and in-actions that effect the outcome. This is never more obvious on the train to... Continue Reading →
Fire to the Rain
We were in Balhannah a few nights back at a family property. Whilst 4WDing around the property to see new-born lambs, I asked to get out of the car so I could capture this amazing view on the horizon. Whilst I had no tripod to properly setup the shot, I am still glad I managed... Continue Reading →
Horse Photography
After borrowing a trailer to pick up additional baby-furniture from Baby Bunting last weekend, I stopped to take photographs of the horses owned by family up in the Adelaide Hills. After a long day with their young riders, here they enjoy a drink and a laugh whilst having their saddles removed. PS. The wife is... Continue Reading →
The Value of Social Connectivity
I don't post comments/responses on other blogs as often as I should. Tonight I found an article where I found myself agreeing so much with the writer that I felt it important to respond. Nothing bad, I totally agreed with the article. Check out what I wrote. Respond if you feel the same or otherwise.... Continue Reading →
