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 →
My Bruised and Battered Ankle
I'm still hurting pretty badly in my right ankle. My war wounds from my attempts at flying are still causing me much angst, pain and misery. Earlier this evening I was feeling a pinched nerve in my ankle, so thinking it was just the tube-sock-bandage I rolled it back to survey the damage. The view... 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 →
War Wounds from Failed Flying
Did you read how I failed miserably at flying? Well, here is a photograph of my face a day after the incident: That is my face one-day after I face-planted the bitumen during a night-walk.

The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. … Clearly, it is this second part, the missing, which presents the difficulties. ~... 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 →
Making a Delicious Smoothie

[NOTE: The wife has since said that a slice of lemon would have given the drink extra punch!] INGREDIENTS:Juice of 1 Coconut2 x whole bananas100grams of... Continue Reading →
Listening to a Beautiful Voice
I've been a fan of Adele for about six months. I caught her voice quite by accident on a Saturday morning, singing 'Rolling in the Deep'. Her distinct style of singing with that interesting video clip had me entranced until the end. So then I had to find Adele on Youtube to find out why... Continue Reading →
