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 →

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 →
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 →
How to Fail Miserably at Flying
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 →
Shooting Flowers whilst Picking Strawberries
Yesterday morning, before my coughbirthdaypartycough, my wife and I went for a quick trip to the Beerenberg Strawberry Farm to pick a few extra kilo's of strawberries. We love 'em! I also used the opportunity to see if a Twitter conversation would come to any fruition. I asked the older-lady at the pay-counter if their... Continue Reading →
Localised Photography
At least four times a year I call Kangaroo Island home. But the remainder of the time, this is my family home backyard: Having the bushland in the valley means I can find interesting places and local wildlife to photograph any time. Life is good.
