How I deal with my withdrawals from Japan – More craft!

If you have been paying attention, I have found a means to revitalise my series about how I deal with my addiction to everything Japan. Funny that. I was out to dinner this week and a very good friend of mine asked me “what is it with you and Japan?’ I was surprised by this…

The C-Sides! Or is this D-Sides? Could even be up to the E-Sides by now…Tokyo 2017

Every now and then I will scroll through my massive collection of images from one of my past trips to Japan. And when I say massive I mean massive. All told I have taken over 16,000 images across three trips. And as you have probably seen in my past blogs, I will often publish a…

Remembering my happily ever after. An experience in grief.

Today would have been the 45th birthday of my beautiful Isobel. My Belle. It has been five years and four days since she left us after such a short and unfair battle with an unseen, ugly and unfair illness. Cancer of course. So much unfairness. So many hundreds and hundreds of days have passed and…

How I deal with my withdrawals from Japan – I get crafty!

Just when I thought that this particular blog series had no life left in it, I suddenly get inspired and work to create something very new for myself and for my skill set. And of course to appease my crushing desire to travel back to Japan and experience such an incredible culture. Don’t get me…

To market, to market – With the Fujifilm X70

I have written in the past, on a number of occasions, of my love of visiting produce markets around Melbourne. We are quite spoilt in that we have some amazing markets all relatively close to the inner city areas. The Queen Victorian Market, South Melbourne Market and of course my personal favourite the Prahran Market…

How I deal with my withdrawals from Japan – I drink! Beer!

I have thoroughly enjoyed writing this blog series about how I deal with being away from Japan. I fear it may be coming to an end though as there is only so much I have really do to abate my desire to get back to Japan. It has been a fun activity with research, photography…

Milestones & Reflections

I first set out on creating this blog site in November of 2016. At the time I was starting up my photography business and chose to go with a D-I-Y blog site such as this over a more promotional business website. I made that distinction as I didn’t want my photography to become a hard-sell…

Fujifilm X – Melbourne Morning

It has been a pretty cold winter so far here in Melbourne this year. Icy cold mornings and often strong winds make a terrible combination to deter would be photographers from getting out and about early in the morning. As you will have noticed from my recent blogs, most of my activities have been home…

Photographing Products – Progress Update – With the Fujifilm X-T2

In more recent photography related blogs I talked about my desire to improve upon my product shots that I utilise in my blogs and even on other social media channels. I engaged the help of my mate The Overrated Photographer as he takes amazing shots of his cameras and lenses for his own blogs over…
