Guilt + New Projects = Neglected blogging
I feel like haven’t blogged for a while (even though it’s only been a couple of weeks), perhaps it’s just a part of the cumulative guilt thing that I seem to have going on at the moment. I’ve recently been feeling incredibly busy and part of the reason for that is that I’ve been taking…

Pillar of Salt Anyone?
It probably hasn’t been long enough for my poor addled brain to process seeing ‘The City They Burned‘ yet, but I’m going to have a crack at a response. The website lists it as a retelling of the story of Lot and the fall of Sodom from Genesis 19 (in the Old Testament, I looked it…

Week 4 – Photo a day Challenge
Week four is the last week for the photo a day challenge I signed up for. I’ve had a lot of fun trying to find something everyday to photograph in line with the daily theme. I admit some days I didn’t get very close, some days the connection was tenuous to say the least, but…

Week 2 – Photo a day Challenge
Again, slightly late, but y’know, whatever. As promised, here are my photos, posted originally on my Instragram #dragongirlau (with my phone camera because I’m too lazy to transfer photos from my proper camera to my phone so I can Instragram them).

Shortlisted!
A few weeks ago I entered a couple of shots into an amateur photography competition run by Australian Photography Magazine, mostly just for fun. They sent out an email announcing the winner a couple of days ago, and I only just opened it up to have a look at the shortlisted photos. To my surprise,…
