Richmond Adventure
After taking myself out for a coffee at a semi local (about 10 min walk) cafe to write up my plan for NaNoWriMo (that’s National Novel Writing Month) I went on a bit of a ramble through the suburb I call home. There’s quite a lot of cool graffiti, given the number of people in…

They have been hosting an exhibition there called The Extraordinary Faces of Geoffrey Rush for a while and he kindly agreed to do a signing engagement. The following…

USA – Urban Monuments
Post number six in my collections from the US; urban monuments. There are some places that just inspire photos, and a lot of them that are from New York! It’s like I’m all about the east coast. I like the idea that these are man made objects that have become the object of worship and…

USA – Ordinary People
While I was on my travels I took an enormous number of photos. I have been back for a couple of weeks, but life got in the way a bit and I am only just getting on to organising my photos into themed photo essays for this blog. I am starting with a theme I’m…

Fairfax 1440 Photographic Essay Competition
I think I mentioned recently having entered the Fairfax 1440 Photographic Essay competition. It was to be announced at the end of June, so given that I haven’t been notified that I won I am going to assume that I didn’t. Since I didn’t win, I feel I can now publish the photographic essay that…

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…
