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 →

Fire to the Rain
We were in Balhannah a few nights back at a family property. Whilst 4WDing around the property to see new-born lambs, I asked to get out of the car so I could capture this amazing view on the horizon. Whilst I had no tripod to properly setup the shot, I am still glad I managed... Continue Reading →
Photographs at the Adelaide Clipsal500 2012
Have you seen my photographs from day 1 and 3 of the 2012 Adelaide Clipsal500? I didn't shoot as many as I have done in previous years. I feel they didn't have enough for the average punter who wanted to eat and go on show-rides, or check out the various car-brand marquees. There was about... Continue Reading →
Photographs of Adelaide City
Before heading out to the Lady Daly last night, I had 40minutes spare to take a walk around Adelaide City whilst waiting for my ride. So I walked down Rundle Mall and back up Grenfell Street. Here are my favorite of the many photographs I shot.... Yes, an eclectic bunch of photographs that simply appealed... Continue Reading →
Street Photography in 2012
In 2012, I was drawn to the idea of capturing the multi-dimensional views of Adelaide's inner city architecture through street photography. My goal was to showcase the intricate relationship between the city's built environment and the bustling life that unfolds within it. With every photograph, I aimed to transcend the conventional portrayal of cityscapes, delving... Continue Reading →
Hand Rearing a Magpie
This baby magpie was found at the foot of a tree on family property in the Adelaide Hills. It's presumed it fell out of the family nest. It will be hand-reared until it can fly back to its family. Whilst some might think the natural cycle of animals would have culled this fallen magpie, the mother... Continue Reading →
Donating Photography for a Worthy Cause
I am donating three framed photographs! These are from the 20 that I exhibited during my SALA 2010 exhibition, to a silent auction at my day job. One of my work colleagues at my day-job is participating in SuperCycle 2012. What is this all about? Most of us would know somebody who has been affected... Continue Reading →
Understanding and Appreciating the Effort of Photographers
A Facebook friend and fellow photographer responded to my addeddum with... ..., ask a landscape photographer how much "fun" it is freezing their nuts off setting up for a sunrise shot of a frozen lake, ... I very quickly wrote a response. But realising it was getting quite lengthy, I decided to publish it here... Continue Reading →

My collection of Flower Photographs: Ranging in colours between Pink, Red, Yellow, Orange, Yellow and Blue! Shot at many locations around South Australia, New South Wales and Queensland, each a state of Australia, these beautiful flowers were found in front-yards, native gardens, open-gardens and some in the wild. Each one of these photographs links back... Continue Reading →
An Evening with Kristen Weaver
Last night (05.Sept.2011), I had the good fortune to hear Kristen Weaver speak about the last two years of her photographic journey - between amateur and photographic stardom! I arrrived at the venue about 6pm, but PW's were not opening the doors until 6.45pm. So I stood and waited. The reason I tell you this is because it... Continue Reading →
