The Entrepreneurial Life of Stephen Mitchell
Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Live Better.
I finally made it to my FIRST MeetUp. The Adelaide Bloggers took over the back room at a local restaurant, one which I've seen a few thousand times from the passenger-seat of a car and bus.

In 2007, 2.2 million people and 2,100 businesses around Sydney (Australia) turned off their lights for Earth Hour. This massive collective effort reduced Sydney's energy consumption by 10.2% for one hour, which is the equivalent effect of taking 48,000 cars off the road for a year.

I'll share... Continue Reading →

You are welcome to visit and view my photography. When I saw all this artwork, I thought I'd stepped through a... Continue Reading →
I sent a stern email to the Adelaide City Lord Mayor Michael Harbison this evening. Quit Smoking to Save Just One Life - Yours. Being an ardent anti-smoker, and a photographer of all things that "get on my bloody nerves", I took the time to compile a message that not only asked for a solution, but... Continue Reading →
Did anyone in Adelaide get any photographs like the Mexican's got at their U2 concert? Bono: "Wooh, Edge, He found photos of U2 at the Adelaide Concert!" The Edge: "Dang, he sure did. Check them out at flickr.com/"
