Photographer's magazine
I thought I’d start writing about things that I learn from or get inspired by on a weekly basis. I collect a huge number of reading materials, both in printed format and online, but it wasn’t till a recent holiday that I was able to catch up with some of that reading. Life gets in…
Photograph Exhibition – are you coming?
I have my first exhibition coming up in May being held at a cafe in the Dandenong Ranges, Victoria. I’ve had several people ask me for invitations but I’m sure I won’t remember everyone who’s asked. I’ve placed the event information at my page at Facebook. All are welcome. The exhibition is for 4 weeks…
Flash: is it time to move on?
I heard Michael speak at my BNI chapter recently about Flash and asked him to write a guest article for my blog. Flash based websites and photo galleries have long been the darlings of photographers; and not without good reason. Used to best effect they are capable of presenting beautiful portfolio style websites in a…
Common sense article about memory cards
Saw this article this morning about how this photographer uses Memory Cards. I was pleased to see that most of what he does I do anyway. For me it makes good sense but perhaps for others, it’s still something to learn, so I thought I’d share it with you. A Guest Post on Memory Cards…

Project 365
If you’ve been reading this blog for awhile you would have picked up that I participated in Project 365 last year. What this meant was taking a photo a day and posting it with a group at Flickr. This was a great exercise to participate in as it made me think daily about going outside…

Recently I was thrilled to learn I am a winner in a photography competition here in the Dandenong Ranges. The local community bank runs this competition and had 230 entries, 13 of which were winners (1 cover image and 12 for the months) and 9 photographers who took those 13 images. So some had more…
