As a small boy, electrical storms frightened me. I’d had a few big frights and had grown to hate and fear lightning and thunder.
I’ve always been an adventurer, ya know. When I was about 14 to 16, a mate and I used to go camping on our pushbikes. This night we had a terrific electrical [...]

Walking up the dry creek bed in Aragunnu Creek, the going got a bit tough so I climbed up the rugged bank and headed along through the coastal bush.

My youngest son, Josh, was a pretty good little photographer as a lad.
We’d go photographing together and then develop and print the results in the darkroom.

Well, the rebuild of the ATV trailer is coming along nicely. Here’s the trailer with a practice load.

Well, my dad died the other day after 87 years of life.
Hard Start To Life
Dad had a pretty hard start to life.
His mother was walking to the hospital in the heavy industry section of Melbourne but couldn’t wait any longer so squatted in the culvert and gave birth to Dad. A kind lady happened along [...]

Well, this is a little greeting video from Granddad to my twin grandsons.

Maybe [...]

Lesley and I stayed at Yackandandah in north east Victoria for just the one night.
It was at Yackandandah that we got the news of my dad’s passing so packed up and headed home in a hurry to prepare for the flight to Perth.

Went on a photography trip to Bermagui today with Lesley and a few other photographer friends. Fish and chips from Saltwater fish and chip shop, near the Bermagui wharf, eaten in the sunshine which took the bite out of a cool breeze.
The table we sat at for lunch was a bit ordinary but the view [...]

Menindee Lake
Dry as a bone since 2002, about seven years, Menindee Lake was rather a disappointment but not an absolute loss from a photographer’s view point.
The lake looks to be about ten kilometres wide, more or less round, with the scrub of the far bank only just visible from the sand dune on which the [...]

As I search for my artistic identity, I present yet another high colour representation of Thurra Dunes in Croajingolong National Park.
Well and truly worked over in Irfanview, I present the essential elements of this wilderness landscape image in stunning contrast.
To me, the true to life colours take second place to the forms crying out for [...]
