Admittedly two of these blue skies on the Belair sunset were displayed in last night's article, but I had to show them again as a series of three. I hope you like them as much as I do! I've submitted them to the Redbubble Corporate group where they should display shortly!
One Year Ago
One year ago today was during the Adelaide Clipsal500 car race. I spent a day at the race, inside and outside the race grounds. Astonishingly, the city was quite empty. So shots like this one below were easier to shoot without people walking through the shot . Maybe this year I'll do this again, but... Continue Reading →
History Defiled
I know pain. A few years back I walked a sixteen-kilometre hike, fourteen with a busted knee. Less than two kilometres into the walk I slid down an embankment to walk around massive boulders, see the ocean up-close and photograph a MASSIVE bee-swarm. I slid down what I thought was a solid soil cliff to... Continue Reading →
Surviving the Australian Heat
For those who don't know, the weather this week in Australia has reached the mid forties. That's 44 degrees Celsius! Each of us know the basics of surviving in this temperature, but few of us actually apply any extra measures to decrease the heat. At a cellular level, our body heats up, causing premature aging...

Comedy of Colours
I was digging through my archives looking for interesting photographs that had people in them to test the Orton Effect upon. When I found this, I changed direction. I figured I'd have more fun breaking this into three separate layers so I could put some colour back into the wall-art whilst making the wall monochrome.... Continue Reading →
First Time Meeting Adelaide Bloggers
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. But this was the first time we'd stepped inside the doors, let alone looked in the window. I walked... Continue Reading →
Earth Hour Adelaide
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. Originating in Sydney in 2007, Earth Hour has now... Continue Reading →
Proof that a LITTLE Smile Makes BIGGER Things Happen
I smiled at the girl behind the counter, and asked the price. She didn't know. She asked the other lovely young lady. She didn't known either. I said, don't worry, next time. She smiled back, apologised. I sat down to read the "The Australian (IT)". A few minutes later my chocolate smoothie, being carried by... Continue Reading →
Fresh Wisdom From Local Business
This used to be the motto's listed on the Fnucky website. [I can no longer find any reference to Fnucky any where on the internet. - Edited June 2023] Beneath each motto is my interpretation from an entrepreneur's point of view: Passionately hate cruise control: Cover bands don't change the world.The Entrepreneur says this motto...

First Visit to Adelaide Botanic Gardens
This morning, Sarah and I visited a camera store at Westfield Marion Shopping Centre to print 23 of my RedBubble photographs in 8"x12" format. We also picked up three small folders that can hold about 120 photographs in 6"x4" format. These folders will serve as 'easy-to-display' books for my online gallery in a real-world location....

Remembering Where All My Money Went
Somehow this post by Brian Lee about the pros and cons of vending-machines reminded me of how much money I wasted during my teenage years. It's truly stupid how much money I spent on these contraptions, but amazing now that I think about it. I cannot recall how I managed to afford it all! Long... Continue Reading →
We Need a New Solution: Adelaide’s Smoking Bins Are More Hazardous than Helpful
I sent a stern email to the Adelaide City Lord Mayor Michael Harbison this evening. 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 also was considerate of the recipients position in my...
