Observations on Being a Weekend Father, Creating New Memories and Figuring Life Out
This message is circulating the internet, particularly Facebook. First read it through, then answer this: Is it at all feasible? Do you really think anyone in Parliament house is going to say "Oh that makes sense, let's make radical changes overnight!" Proposals to make politicians shoulder their share of the weight now that the Age... Continue Reading →
Today saw the release of the Adelaide Fringe Guide (17 Feb - 19 March 2017) "The Fringe is a staple diet for most South Australians ... for both regular and consumers ... of comedy, cabaret, theatre, music, visual arts, circus acts and digital media" (Paraphrased from The Hon. Jack Snellings welcome message on page 2)... Continue Reading →
As most of the world knows by now, Adelaide endured its worst wind storms in 70 years. The power went out for the whole state late afternoon on Wednesday 28th September 2016. Many families were driven to talking to each other rather than their phones as the power slowly dwindled. Thankfully the power came back... Continue Reading →
Inspired by my good friend Martin Christmas, I wrote a short-prelude and poem about my experience this afternoon with the torrential-weather in South Australia.
I have the grand opportunity to exhibit my photography during SALA 2016 - and they are on display already: WHERE: At the Catalyst Foundation offices, 149 Currie Street Adelaide City – in their From Another Perspective Art Exhibition.

I use Movavi for editing all the interesting moments in my life. Most recently I took the perfect opportunity to video my friends and... Continue Reading →

Farming is changing a lot. It’s a lot like what you say about how corporations won’t take care of you and you have... Continue Reading →
I am back on the hunt for a new job. My four month hiatus was fun, and now I am ready to resume providing my customer service, business support, and/or facilities management skills, experience, knowledge and ability. Yes, that sounded very government - because that is what I have been doing for the last 20... Continue Reading →
Whilst going through all my Flickr photographs for a handful to add to a new album, I found these few photographs shot during my younger brother's 40th birthday. Figured they needed a little air-time. All shot on a Canon 400D. 210-degree Pano of Oakbank RaceCourse Stitched Panorama of about 7 photographs Waiting to be Served... Continue Reading →
My interests have changed overnight. I still enjoy my photography and digital art (that I sell on tshirts), but now I also enjoy outdoor camping. It's a great method of keeping myself grounded and a simple way to remember that there is more to the world than the city life. After spending 2 days outdoors... Continue Reading →
One of the best points of having 'Casual Clothes Friday', particularly for me, is being able to hide in plain site. As I particularly like shooting architectural and inner-city photography, it helps to be wearing clothes that are either or both plain and of a tourist appearance. So today I am casually dressed. I won't... Continue Reading →
