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 →

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 →
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 →

Take a Moment to Enjoy some Solitude
Solitude can be a good thing. Taking time away from the noise and allowing yourself to simply observe can be incredibly grounding. For me, photography has become one of those moments of calm. When life feels busy, complicated, or simply a little overwhelming, picking up a camera helps me look differently at the world around... Continue Reading →
Canon 50D for Ransom, Your Support Needed
Please help: A Canon 50D body is being held hostage in a layby bin somewhere in Adelaide. They won’t give it to me until I pay the other half of the ransom. With your purchases from my Redbubble gallery, I can give this 50D all the TLC it needs to survive in a loving household.... Continue Reading →
Pelicans on Kangaroo Island
Every time I go over to Kangaroo Island , the number one thing I love to photograph is the Pelicans at Kingscote. Here are the latest photographs from early this year.

Afternoon Photo-Walk at Glenelg
Sarah and I went for a walk to Glenelg beach today. Initially I went to check out the Adelaide Porsche Club cars on display at Wigley Reserve, but it turned out to be a non-event for me. Mostly because I had not brought a wide-angle lens, but after you've seen one modern Porsche, you've seen... Continue Reading →
