Targa Wrest Point


As an avid car driver and motorbike rider, one of my favourite things about Tasmania are the gorgeous, twisty, mountain roads.  It is the natural choice for a targa event, and the ongoing success of the original Targa Tasmania has led to the creation of a national targa championship which now includes a second targa event...

A Day in Bangkok with the Olympus E-M5


Let me get one thing out of the way. I love the design philosophy behind the new generation of mirrorless interchangable-lens cameras. Personally I've been a member of the Micro Four-Thirds camp since the Panasonic GF-1 came about, but I have plenty of respect for the other competing systems as well. There have...

Plaza de Sant Felip Neri


Here's a story of a photograph I took in Plaza de Sant Felip Neri, a small plaza hidden among a tangle of alleyways in Barcelona. I was wandering aimlessly through Barcelona's gothic quarter in early 2011. I had my camera in hand and was simply exploring this gorgeous city.

The Heart of Australia – Uluru (Ayers Rock)


In my previous blog entry I mentioned that I'm currently in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in the Northern Territory of Australia. In that blog entry I spoke about Kata Tjuta and how amazing it was to visit, but of course a person can't come to this part of the world and not visit Australia's most famous icon; Uluru...

Walking Through Kata Tjuta (The Olgas)


Here I am in outback Australia. This is beyond the black stump, the middle of nowhere, out back of Bourke, woop-woop, or any other nickname you can think of for a remote area.  I'm actually in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in the southern part of the Northern Territory.  If you don't know where that is, find a map of Australia...

Create Your Own Luck


See the photo above? You can click on it to see the full photo. Now guess at where it was taken, how long the photoshoot lasted, who the girls were, and how much mucking around there was to get the lighting and backdrop right. If you guessed that it was taken outdoors in the middle of a city street with four girls...

Deserted Claremont Showgrounds


I recently had an opportunity to take photographs at the Claremont showgrounds while it was deserted. For the benefit of non-local readers, these huge grounds host the Perth Royal Show every year and occassional other events throughout the year. But there's nothing on at the moment. I love the deserted carnival atmosphere....

The Story Behind my Business Card


For my first blog topic I'll discuss the story behind the little photo of a kid in a wetsuit that some of you may recognise as featuring on my business cards. It is a photo my Mum took of me when I was very young, circa 1979. We stopped at a friend's house for coffee after school one day, and there happened to be an adult-sized...
