Getting Older
I turned 40 yesterday. Or, as I have been saying for the last few weeks, 39 + 1. The joke’s gotten a few laughs and eye rolls but honestly it’s not that far off how I feel about turning 40. When I was young 40 seemed old and it was hard to even imagine myself…

Photographers Deserve Respect Too
I took this photo a few days ago in Toronto. It’s of the jetty and swimming area, on the Toronto foreshore. I had been in Toronto dropping off some framed photos of the area for a local business. I was really happy with how they turned out and it was great to meet the owner…

The Pole, Newcastle
Went to see Newcastle’s newest tourist attraction yesterday – the Pole! It all started when Newcastle City Council widened the curb before energy provider Ausgrid moved the power pole.

Belmont Sunset
Beautiful sunset over the lake at Belmont yesterday evening. There were some very interesting cloud formations and at one stage a plane went across as well, leaving a trail in its wake. It was a lovely sunset. I decided to shoot a couple of panoramas to capture a bit of a different, wider perspective. Panoramas…
