Every few days I shoot an amazing photograph of our three remaining pet cats. With Trouble no longer one of the family, I now shoot cute photographs whenever I can. Here is 'Fluff' sitting in her new favorite cushion in the lounge window. Fluff looked down out the window to see a bird on the... Continue Reading →
Photographs of South Australia
I have a few locations on the internet where I display my South Australia Prints. Most recently I have been uploading a LOT of my landscape, scenery and geography photographs shot around the Adelaide hills and upon Kangaroo Island. I encourage you to check out my many photographs upon Fine Art America gallery to consider... Continue Reading →
The Power of Advertising on Social Media
As a graphic artist, I find advertising of my work upon social media is quite effective. Here is today's example of how much a little self-promotion can work: For the last few hours I have been updating my entire Redbubble Tshirt Collection. This has included editing a few works, changing fonts, adding text-shadows, plus lowering... Continue Reading →

Did I Really ‘Just Fall Over’?
One of my Facebook friends is saying "I fell over" is not much of a story! Whilst it is up there in the top#10 of painful events I've ever endured, I truly wish I could tell it another way. Maybe I should have chosen one of these options: I got hit by low flying Archaeoraptor... Continue Reading →
Concert Photography from 1980’s
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 →
How to Fail Miserably at Flying
Let me first premise this article with the dialogue from which the title was born: There is an art, it says, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. … Clearly, it is this second part, the missing, which presents the difficulties. ~... 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
Most Australians would know by now that BORDERS are in liquidation. As an avid book reader, I am dismayed by this, yet am thankful we have other great book suppliers in Adelaide. (Dymocks and Angus&Robertson to name a few!) Despite knowing about the liquidation a few months ago, it wasn't until tonight that I actually... Continue Reading →
Photographer vs Smoker
Intriguingly, from where this photo was taken, nobody cares. Yet I am standing on in the middle of a road. To the right is the Adelaide General Post Office and behind me is public area on the corner Victoria Square. Adelaide people will know it. But from the ground beneath that green glass building, security... Continue Reading →
Five Different Views of the Adelaide CBD
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 -...
