The comings, the goings and some other things in between
I hate to start off with a disclaimer but I must reveal that this is another photography based post. So for those of you who do not like photos of nature at its very best, I suggest you click the close icon now… For everyone else, I hope you enjoy my snaps from what was … More New Angles: Seek and You Shall Find
It has been another busy week. I am now two weeks into my new job and there always seems to be something going on every other night. Being so busy is nice but sometimes I need some quiet time and some open space. Open space with no one around keeps my sanity in check. It … More Another Week in Photos
There I stood, head down and repeating the same few words over and over in my mind. My chest began to constrict as the thought of what I was about to do sank into the pit of my young stomach. For weeks I had ridden past this very spot, watching a group of older boys … More Facing Fears
Sydney in the spring is my favourite time of year. The light stretches longer, the nights are still cool while the days are warming. It is a happy time. People are smiling, the smell of barbecued meat is in the air. Weather-wise, this week has been a rip-snorter. A ball-tearer. I’ve been hitting the beach … More Spring in Colour
We all have rough days, some more than others. I have days where it seems the world and all of its forces are working against me. Days where I feel like I simply should have stayed in bed. Luckily, these days don’t roll around too often but when they do, I force myself to reflect … More Smile and Take Stock of What You Have

But as I promised, my series of short travel stories won’t be focusing on the more common aspects of visiting a country. Instead, I want to take you onboard an overnight … More Short Story #2: Fight Night on the Chinese Railway
A few months ago I made the conscious decision to unplug my life and focus my attention on the world around me instead of the mobile device in my pocket. This idea seemed nice in principle but, like Communism, the reality was a lot different to the ideal. I found myself missing birthday celebrations, I was … More Unplug: It’s Good for You!
I’ll keep this post short and sweet. The sun is shining and life is good in Sydney town. I think these photos speak for themselves and as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so here is my 6,000 word post in pictures. Enjoy! :: Louie :: Coogee Beach, Sydney: 7km from the … More My Week in Colour
My little home suburb of Coogee has come to life over the last week or so as the weather slowly warms up here in the great south land. The sun is rising earlier and setting later, allowing for a pre-work surf and an after-work swim. This morning I decided to get a coffee and take … More Coogee: Spring Light
