Finding my groove on the streets of Melbourne – April 2018

Afternoon everyone. Hope that you are all well and making the most of your day / night – no matter where in the world you are. Getting back into photography after a considerable creative funk can be a challenge for even the most gifted of photographers. Some of my idols when it comes to photography…

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…

Dreaming of Kyoto

Well now I have gone and done it! One minute I am in self imposed exile feeling like I will never take a photo again let alone travel, and the next I am dreaming of Kyoto. I last visited Kyoto in 2016 when I travelled between Osaka, Kyoto and Hiroshima. It was an amazing trip…

Resurfacing for air and light…

The start of 2018 was a little rough to say the least. Christmas and New Year’s are just more crappy reminders of what I lost and the lasting impacts of grief. It is funny in a non-comical way how it doesn’t get any easier. Not necessarily harder either. Just complex and hard to read the…

Taking a little break from it all…

Good morning readers. Hope that everyone is well and safe. For those of you following along at home, you may have noticed that I have not written on my blog for a few weeks. Whilst I would love to be able say that I have been on a mountain in Japan, the truth is I…

2018 – Looking ahead. Reflecting on the past.

First and foremost Happy New Year and welcome to 2018. I hope that everyone has had an enjoyable and relaxing holiday season. I cannot believe it is 2018. When I was a kid growing up in the 70’s and 80’s, anything beyond the year 2000 was freaky to consider. That was THE FUTURE. I even…

Melbourne 2017 – My Year of Street Photography

I thought I would do a review of my street photography for the whole of 2017. Just the stuff I shot here in Melbourne. I was thinking about doing this in some form or another and then there was an incident only yesterday in the city where someone drove a 4WD into a bunch of…
