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!
Horse Photography
After borrowing a trailer to pick up additional baby-furniture from Baby Bunting last weekend, I stopped to take photographs of the horses owned by family up in the Adelaide Hills. After a long day with their young riders, here they enjoy a drink and a laugh whilst having their saddles removed. PS. The wife is... Continue Reading →
Past, Present and Future

Back in the late 1980's, I hand-typed them all. In the early 90's I spent hundreds of hours typing them into computers and... Continue Reading →
Lunch with Mentors = Motivation and Money
Amazing writer Mellissah Smith wrote this post all the way back in 2012 that talks about a book entitled Never Eat Alone , and says so much that I wholeheartedly agree with! Her best line from the article is... "A lunch date with someone can change your outcomes." I also find that lunch with friends... Continue Reading →
Getting more Photo Opportunities!
Amused with myself and life. I said a few days back that I would have a photographic-hiatus for the next 12-18 months, all while our first child grows up. Yet it appears that cannot happen, or may not start for a while. Read on to discover how busy my photo-calendar is right now: 1. Last... Continue Reading →
