The last week has thrown up some great conditions. While the ocean has finally reached it cold, wintry potential, the days have been warmer and the sun has been shining. I almost found myself starting to like winter…almost. I’ve been experimenting with my camera settings of late and shooting in different modes. It has been … More A visual account of the week gone by
The light of late has been great for shooting. Both dusk and dawn at this time of year in the southern hemisphere offer clear skies, interesting cloud formations and pinky, orange hues. I have been battling the cold mornings and crawling out of bed early for my morning swim. I had great concerns for the … More Exactly where I’m supposed to be
Sometimes I find that my passion for travel (and travel writing) becomes all-consuming. At times, it seems that every waking second is spent researching, planning and dreaming about my next big adventure. One of my weak points, and I admit I do have many, is my inability to live in the present moment. While I … More Living for the ‘Now’ is no easy feat
Daylight savings wrapped up over the Easter weekend here in Australia, and now that I’ve had a couple of weeks to come to terms with the shorter afternoons, I am making the most of the cooler weather and the extra hour in the morning. I am an out-and-out summer person but I do like this … More Simple morning pleasures
It has been a big month in the southern hemisphere as we farewell another summer, reluctantly acknowledge that the days are indeed getting shorter and begin to look at buying a new coat for the colder months ahead. In a bid to make the most of the remaining warmer weather, I’ve been hitting the beach early … More Capturing the last breath of summer
This week has been one of utmost sadness in our little city. On Monday morning, a lone gunman entered a café that I have visited many times over the years and proceeded to take patrons and staff hostage, all in the name of a peaceful, loving religion. The events that followed have been well reported … More A message to the world, from Sydney with love.
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
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
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
Weather wise, it has been a mixed bag in Sydney lately. We have had three straight weeks of rain, wind and storms, however the sun has come out to play these last couple of days. You can see the change in people’s faces and everyone seems to have an extra spring in their step. I … More The Week in Photos
