The B-Sides – Tokyo 2017

As is necessary after a big photography adventure is the need to download, backup, sort and start to explore the collections of images you have captured. This has to happen at some point in time but for me the sooner the better. Especially the download and backup part. My greatest fear would be to return…

How I deal with my withdrawals from Japan – EAT!

Welcome to another instalment in my ongoing, and quite possibly lifelong, series about how I deal with my withdrawals from Japan. As in actually being in Japan, absorbing and experiencing its absurdly amazing culture. In past entries I have spoken about how I have used my photography and in particular printed images to help inspire,…

Melbourne – Royal Botanic Gardens Victorian with the Fujifilm X-T2

In recent blogs I have spoken about making the most of the photographic opportunities that arise whenever and wherever I can. I can’t just sit around waiting for the sun to shine in order to be able to take photos. Even on cold and dreary days I must persist and find or make the opportunity…

Melbourne – Landscape photography with the Fujifilm X70

Being able to catch the golden hour of photography in the morning or in the evening can be a tricky exercise in being in the right place at the right time. And obviously to be able to make the most of that lighting you also need to be able to have some level of freedom.…

Cura Camera Straps

When it comes to accessorising a camera there are actually quite a few nifty little things that you can do to personalise your baby…..I mean camera! Of course. You can of course buy your camera in an alternative colour variation to the standard black such as with many Fujifilm cameras – but not many other…

Afternoon everyone. Hope that you are all well and making the most of your day / night – no matter where in the world you are.

How I deal with my withdrawals from Japan – Get bookish!

Anyone familiar with me and my work will know that I love Japan. Der! Obvious much? A couple of weeks ago I started a new blog series to talk about how I deal with my withdrawals from Japan. Seems like an absurd concept when I say it out loud but at quiet times I often…

Macedon Ranges Road Trip – Fuji X Aus – Fujifilm X-T2 & X70

Whilst I have dabbled and certainly enjoyed landscape photography and nature photography in the past, I would not say it is something that I am good at nor have I had enough practice to improve. But, when the opportunity arises and the conditions are right I make the most of the opportunity. This past Sunday…

Cura – My choice for photographic cleaning products.

It has always baffled me that people spend thousands of dollars on photographic gear with the best lenses and filters to protect their glass and yet, they cannot keep their lenses clean. No point in pointing a $3,000 camera with a $2,000 lens and a $200 filter at a subject to take that excellent shot…

How I deal with my withdrawals from Japan – Playing with images.

If you have been playing along at home and keeping an eye on my past blogs, you will obviously know that I am obsessed with Japan. What part? All of it! The food, the culture, the architecture, the values, the temples, the tech….all of it! And I have had this obsession, nay addiction, since I…
