The pageant runs through the Adelaide every year on the first weekend of November, regardless of the weather.

Animals at the 2010 Adelaide Xmas Pageant
I had the pleasure of shooting many interesting animals at the Adelaide 2010 Christmas Pageant, including one large pink one that I don't recognise. It was funny to watch kids reactions to the enormously over-sized floats as they trundled down King William Street in the Adelaide CBD. Here are eight of the biggest animals I... Continue Reading →
Children at the 2010 Adelaide Xmas Pageant
There were many thousands of family's at the Adelaide Christmas Pageant this year: Many were chalking the bitumen along the route of the pageant (before it started!), many were singing, screaming, talking and eating. I watched many kids twirling streamers, blowing bubbles and even a few throwing a large beach-ball. Or was that a clown... Continue Reading →
Not Acceptable!
Seems many smokers in the Adelaide CBD believe it is acceptable to stub out their cigarettes in the garden beds around their office. I don't believe it is acceptable at all. What makes it worse is that the canisters for their cancer-filled paper remains are stuck in the ground alongside the organic life that we... Continue Reading →
Wall-Art on Anster Street
I was in the city on Saturday morning, so I took the opportunity to photograph a few places, both new and old. I walk around not worrying about the direction, yet somehow I usually end up where I have been before. Yet the last time I walked down Anster Street , I am quite sure... Continue Reading →

Their were amazing people, interesting conversations, roads to take me along new paths in all aspects of my life. Yet I still not understanding why I had chosen to get involved with this...

Photographs at the Royal Adelaide Show
We had a grand last-day at the Royal Adelaide Show on September 11th 2010. I've not been in a few years, so I am glad we chose a sunnier day to visit. Our two nieces enjoyed 30-minutes waiting at the front of the queue (only to be given 3-free-tickets just before the ticket-stations opened for... Continue Reading →
Photographs of DeadRed Wine Wakes
I've been shooting group and portrait photography at the Dead Red Wakes since wake #4 in mid 2009. They're always a blast, and not only for the wine! Whilst they are open to anyone to attend, a core-group regularly attend whom I enjoy capturing them meeting, greeting and talking to each other! To make it... Continue Reading →
Portrait of Ian McFarland
One of my fellow #SALA participants, Ian McFarland , let me shoot portrait photographs whilst he sat in his stall. Yes, we are both 'artists in residence' during SALA 2010 . With the glass window between us, I was able to capture him at his most candid. Good for me, good for him. The interesting... Continue Reading →
