I arrived in town (the Adelaide CBD) at 7am this morning! As we drove through Hindmarsh Square we spotted the Sunrise crew and Vintage cars. My wife agreed to let me out to go shoot the cars and check out the glorified news reporters known nationally as the 'Ch7 Sunrise Crew'. But before my feet... Continue Reading →
Entrepreneurial Signs in Adelaide
I found these two signs - one hand-drawn on the glass, the other a sign on the inside of the window - in an alley between Currie and Hindley Street in the Adelaide CBD. The first one reads: ARE YOU A FREELANCER, ENTREPRENEUR, OR RUN YOUR OWN SMALL BUSINESS?? CONNECT WITH HUB The second one... Continue Reading →
Upward View of the Adelaide CBD Horizon
I have found a PDF that makes good reading for Adelaide residents who have penchant for knowledge that includes facts, figures and fees. I have gone through it with a fine tooth comb: Below I have listed the pages and Fee-ID's that might be of interest to the photographers of our great and ever-growing inner-city. Page 20,...

Family Event: The Adelaide City to Bay Fun Run 2013
Our close friends Vicki and Ben Kramer have a lovely little boy who required a heart operation shortly after birth.

Bookmarks of Interest
Despite two real-world events today, I've still managed to get onto the online world to visit and read a few world wide web sites of personal interest ... and here they are for others to read. OK, they are really published here so I don't have to bookmark them on my computer. Since Deli.ci.ious changed... Continue Reading →
Reminiscing (1996)
I almost remember it like it was yesterday, yet suddenly feel so old. The wife and I had been dating about 6 months. We had spent one evening looking after the young three daughters of my wife's Aunt, plus about nine of their friends, taking them all for dinner to local McDonalds. It was the... Continue Reading →
Night Photography
I don't get many chances to shoot night photography. So when I do, I have fun. It's always about seeing how I can shoot architecture and people in either an abstract or enlightened way' Check out all my night photo's shot over the last six years, all displayed upon my Flickr Gallery. This last one... Continue Reading →
Bicycles in Adelaide
We are all enduring that time of the Adelaide calendar when bicycles encircle the Adelaide city & descend from the surrounding hills for the SANTOS Tour Down Under. So I felt it time to wheel out my photographs of two-wheeled non-motorised cyclists, professional and amateur, enjoying riding purely for the fun of it! Last but not... Continue Reading →
Capturing Architectural History through Photography
Much earlier this evening, as I was traversing the Adelaide CBD seeking a bus to escape the ropes of employment, I spotted the remains of a non-heritage building. The demolition crew were surveying the fine mess they had made, the dust settling around them ... so I took the moment to sneak a few photos... Continue Reading →
Keeping My Creative Spirit and Grit Alive
Earlier this morning, I got to thinking about moments for photographs that are stuck in my mind, yet I have not had the opportunity to return with a camera to capture them. One of them is a fog-covered and very wet parcel of land in the corner of a paddock. The view in my head... Continue Reading →
