My first concert photography was shot at the Adelaide Grand Prix in the 1980's. I had purchased a camera body, a telephoto lens (cannot recall the brand nor model!) from a pawn shop, plus 40 rolls of 36 film. Shot the lot in one day at the GrandPrix. Because of the inordinate costs of developing... Continue Reading →
Wanna buy a Baseball Cap?
Do you like baseball caps? I do! For the past 15years I have been collecting baseball caps from souvenir stalls in every town I've visited between Auckland and Adelaide. Plus I have acquired a lot from people who knew I liked them. But times change. I now wear a kangaroo-skin wide-brimmed hat. Why? Because [1]... Continue Reading →
Photographs at Rocks Reserve, Balaklava
I always take opportunities when presented to photograph the grand landscape of Australia. So when I discovered our weekend included a visit to a land-formation I'd not seen ever before, I made sure I was fully packed for every style of photograph. A few kilometres West of Balaclava, South Australia is the Rocks Reserves, an... Continue Reading →
How to Make Money from a Liquidation

But from the ground beneath that green glass building, security... Continue Reading →

Way back in March of this year I went for a slow walk around the Adelaide CBD, all alone. This might seem odd to some people, but our inner city is only 1mile squared and mostly a ghost town around the edges. Aha, you can walk down lanes and alleys without anyone bothering you -...

Rotunda on Elder Park
On a regular basis I take long photo-walks alone in the Adelaide CBD. These often involve a walk around Elder Park and onto the Rotunda. Here are two of the photographs I shot in mid 2010.
Review of Adelaide Art Gallery
This morning I was in the Adelaide CBD after an overnight stay at the RAH . Since my wife was working all day, I figured a day getting a 'bit of culture into me' was time well-spent. Originally I had intended to visit both the Museum and Art Gallery of South Australia, but I was... Continue Reading →
All the Stuff I did on ANZAC Day
It's been a busy day for me, which is pretty cool considering how little sleep I have had. ~ I had one of my melted bathroom photographs featured in a Redbubble group. ~ I've been on Redbubble since April 2007, just a little over four years. Whilst at my age time goes faster, it's been... Continue Reading →
