How I deal with my withdrawals from Japan – Even more craft!

In my last blog in this ongoing series about my eternal longing for Japan, I showed you all images of a small craft build I undertook. Take a look at that one here. On that occasion it was a small kit build that I purchased from a Japanese online store. Last time the build was…

My photography workflow with Fujifilm X Series – Part II – Production.

In this series of blogs I explore what workflow means for me in a very practical way when I am doing my photography – be it for leisure or for a more important occasion. You can check out Part I of that series here. In it, I discuss my preparation workflow – the steps and…

My photography workflow with Fujifilm X Series – Part I – Preparation.

I recently wrote a couple of blogs for my Fujifilm community over at Fuji X Aus. In those interviews I chatted with a bunch of very different photographers to get an idea on how they utilise the tools they have to manage their workflow. I guess workflow means different things for different people. For me…

Photographing motorbikes – with the ORP and the Fujifilm X Series.

I have never really been much of a car guy, or a bike guy for that matter. As a young adult I had mates whose cars were their world and motorbikes were everything to them. They would buy some old cars and slowly work on them over the weekends and turn them into pretty nice…

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…

Investigating creepy, abandoned facilities of questionable safety – With The ORP and the Fujifilm X Series.

In the coming weeks you will see a number of blogs written by me, that in various ways feature my mate the ORP (The Overrated Photographer). To learn more about The ORP, then please check out his site here! This is not a form of fan-service or adoration of any kind. He just happened to…

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…
