Observations on Being a Weekend Father, Creating New Memories and Figuring Life Out
About two weeks ago my emotions ran wild and nearly overtook my normal crazy creative state of mind. How on earth could such a thing happen? I expressed my emotions through my photography, and it was quite vivid! Yes, that is my head with string wrapped around it like a roast meat. It is experimental photography,... Continue Reading →
This was written on my Apple Touch in 2009. Tonight whilst clearing out data I happened upon it again. I've decided to publish as is. Your responses are welcomed on any part of what I have said. It's our action and in-actions that effect the outcome. This is never more obvious on the train to... Continue Reading →
By way of thanking all the services involved in the recovery of my son over the last five days, you'll read what has transpired: Massive appreciation for the following services over the last 5 days: The Kingscote Hospital and nurses who were open, available and willing to help at 5AM last Thursday after Jai vomited...

Earlier today I cringed through the first 3 episodes of Photo Finish. The show had some interesting points, but I was openly dismayed with how little pre-information was given to each participant prior to each photo-shoot. To make up for that horrific experience, I then watched the very funny yet inspirational (and, dare I say... Continue Reading →
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 →
Our little man, "Litte Jai", is growing up fast! His cute little hands are big for his age-range, his fingers strong and firm. Each day I am amazed at how he is progressing. He tries so hard to support his own neck, pushing upwards when I hold him against my shoulder for burping. According to... Continue Reading →
Quietly amused. Phil Keneen posted this quirky photograph on his blog - and now it is showing on the WordPress home page as an image and post of interest: About 2 months ago I shot a similar image, and without any knowledge of his or anyone else composing such a strange image. Here is my... Continue Reading →
To those who have not heard nor read elsewhere: My lovely wife and I now have a gorgeous little boy: Jai Ethan Mitchell Last Saturday night we went into the WCH hospital to be induced ... and about an hour later he arrived quicker than expected. There is much more to the story, but that... Continue Reading →
It's a busy day today. What I really wanted to do today was help my wife's business to reach an online market. I also really need to sand off three layers of ghastly paint off the outdoor setting. I am also waiting for the child inside my wife to make that final decision to enter... Continue Reading →
Yes, the baby is still sitting pretty inside my wife's tummy! Since we chose not to know if our soon-to-be-born baby is going to male or female, here are photographs in the two colours that society deems to be most associated with both genders. Yeah, just an excuse to post an array of random photographs... Continue Reading →
Whilst I wish I could find time to lift my camera to my eye, I am using my eyes to either sleep before the baby arrives OR to read about interesting photo techniques that I would really like to try one day. Tonight I stumbled upon Shayne Gray through Tumblr.com. Shayne has very easy-to-read tutorials... Continue Reading →
Sarah is days away from exploding with our first child. Yet last night she spent the evening cooking enough lasagna for us both to survive on for the next 4 weeks!
