Wow, It has been about two years since I visited the Adelaide Zoo! My favourite animal to photograph is the Flamingo. They are a beautiful bird with a prestigious aura about them. Since it is highly improbable that the aged pair of flamingo's we have remaining will ever breed, one can only hope the Zoo... Continue Reading →
I Own the Twitter Fail Whale
Yeah, that's right, I own the 'Fail Whale'! Or rather, just one of the whales. And it's not as big as we all thought it would be - because this local stationery store has them by the bucket-load, sitting on a shelf, waiting for twitter-nerds like myself. Here you can see mine: No, they don't... Continue Reading →
Come to South Australia, Go to Kangaroo Island
There I was, working away at what I do best in the day-job office, when across the cubicle a voice was heard to say "There's nothing to do on Kangaroo Island!" - I was gob smacked because I know better. Thankfully I had someone to back me up, yet I didn't feel that we had... Continue Reading →
A Photo-Opportunity on New-Years-Eve!
Some days life takes unexpected directions! Last night at 5.14pm I left a message on Twitter and Facebook that read ... "In this heat, leave the house? I ain't going anywhere! Forget the pubs, I am going to enjoy a few drinks at home in front the open fridge." It was 42 degrees for a... Continue Reading →

Beyond the city's concrete jungle, our abode is surrounded by gum-tree filled forests, creating an illusion that nature stretches endlessly. Suburban life here is a blend of lush greenery, winding creeks, and picturesque pathways - offering a refreshing escape for... Continue Reading →
I Eat, Breathe and Sleep Photography
I've had a long and fruitful weekend, loaded to the brim with photography! From shooting, to editing, to uploading, to appraising, to critiquing, to choosing, and learning new techniques for ideas, I pretty-much eat, breathe, and sleep with photography! It's now 9pm (after watching 2 episodes of TBBT) on a Sunday night, and I still... Continue Reading →
Shooting Portraits of Colourful Christmas Clowns
One of the most enjoyable characters to shoot at the Adelaide Christmas Pageant is the clowns. The guys and girls who volunteer their time seem to have a ceaseless abundance of energy. They travel back and forth with the parade, often stopping to mimic the characters on the floats - all to keep the crowds... Continue Reading →
Portraits at the 2010 Adelaide Xmas Pageant
As promised, here are the few portrait shots captured both before and during this years Adelaide Christmas pageant. The pageant runs through the Adelaide every year on the first weekend of November, regardless of the weather. Last year was a stinking hot day, but this year we had a smattering of rain with intermittent sunshine.... Continue Reading →
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 →
