Melbourne City Adventure
Yesterday I spent the day in the city centre of Melbourne with one of my oldest and dearest friends. He is really into photography and has an awesome photography based business back in Hobart. We chatted, had lots of cups of tea/coffee and wander around taking photos. These are some of the ones I took…

Competition
This is just going to be a short one, I haven’t been posting a lot because I’ve been spending a lot of time doing, well, other stuff. What is this other stuff? You may ask. Well, I have submitted my NaNoWriMo manuscript to a couple of publishers for consideration, so I’m quite pleased with myself…

Today I went on an adventure and ended up in Mordialloc, a beach about half an hour from Melbourne. There is a boat repair place just back from the beach, along the creek, and in front of it are the skeletal remains of dead boats. I think the shadows in this one look a bit like…

Adelaide Adventure
This week I spent three days in Adelaide doing training for work. I had intended to have a bit of a wander around the city and get some photos of the different architecture and other stuff that I wouldn’t see in Melbourne. However my knee is still pretty sore so walking a long way was…

California Hotel
I have been driving past the California Hotel for months now, possibly years even looking at it’s dilapidated exterior, it’s smashed windows like a gapped toothed smile. I have often wanted to go in and shoot it, but the because it’s winter here I haven’t been lucky with the light. Today Melbourne and Mother Nature…

Goodies vs Baddies
Last Friday I went to an exhibition opening at Artboy in Greville St Prahran. Some of you may remember that I helped my friend Jonathan take his work there to be exhibited the week before. Exhibition openings tend to be fun, they have free or cheap drinks, you get to hang around with arty types…

A Night Out in Melbourne
Last night I spent a very lovely evening with my two gorgeous friends John and B. They live in an adorable apartment in Fitzroy with a view of the city and I was even organised enough to bring my tripod this time! This was a 2 second exposure looking towards the CBD from Fitzroy. I…
