Observations on Being a Weekend Father, Creating New Memories and Figuring Life Out
Not completely sure, but I think my Canon 70-200 F4 needs calibrating. Thanks to google I discovered I can calibrate the lens myself. I plan to video whilst that is happening, including both before and after shots. I have a bunch of new videos completed, so subscribe and keep watching my YouTube Channel. That's all this time....

Picture this: A world where your groceries are carried in bags so sophisticated they could probably schedule your next shopping trip, and pizza boxes so meticulously designed, they make your slice feel like it's on vacation in Italy. Now, you might be thinking, "Is this some kind of sci-fi food fantasy?" Well, not exactly. Welcome... Continue Reading →
Our five year old son has Roseola, so I am going to be home for at least a week looking after him. So I have created a video from a walk we had together a few months ago. Enjoy and watch out for the squid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjezEZUI5DQ FYI: Did you know Jai and I have a... Continue Reading →
Whilst my 2yo son cried for no apparent reason this morning, I quietly said to him ... "You have been alive for less than 750 days. That's 1/50th, a mere 2%, of your potential life. Today is just one day. Tomorrow is another. Let's put this nappy on, and take another breath." ... It's easy... Continue Reading →
There's a valid and great reason why I don't blog as often: I am vlogging again. Living on Kangaroo Island has given me new inspiration, subjects and time. Admittedly, some of my attempts are not so perfect, yet I am having so much fun learning new facets of the software I use, plus the limitations... Continue Reading →

Just a few months ago, before my family relocated to Kangaroo Island, I stuffed my my many camera bags with lots of bits and pieces needed for my camera equipment. Today I finally went through it all - and found the multitude of seemingly important yet almost unnecessary cra.. stuff. Yet some of which has... Continue Reading →
Way back in 2012 I was saying I wanted this lens - the Canon EF 24-70mm f2.8 L II USM. Five years on, I now need the lens. I should have purchased it when I could afford it! Whilst I have many decent lenses, the 24-70mm would and could easily replace them all. With my... Continue Reading →
My YouTube Channel History For the longest time I did almost nothing on YouTube. I remember saying to someone in 2008 - "It's just a fad, it won't last." How wrong was I! Mostly I liked and categorized videos, probably like a lot of people did. I had a U2 collection, plus some series of... Continue Reading →
Whilst editing my archives on Sunday afternoon I discovered I have written similar articles over the last 15 months. This one - Ten Years on WordPress - is a little more comprehensive. Oops. Yet I will let both articles remain independent. At least now I can easily search and find the articles (because I have... Continue Reading →
This is the original version of 'The Sound of Silence' from 1964 from the album 'Wednesday Morning, 3 AM': Just Simon's guitar and the vocals. After 'Wednesday Morning, 3 AM' flopped, they split up. Without either of their knowledge, both electric guitars and drums were added and this version of The Sound of Silence became... Continue Reading →
