CJ by the Lake
Another year hasCome and gone in a hurry:Time waits for no one It was my birthday today. I turned 32. It feels a bit weird, saying that. 32. I don’t really feel 32. But then I never really felt 18 or 25 either. I guess they’re all just numbers to me in the end. The…

Sunset on the Lake
The sun sets And a breeze blows As I find a moment’s peaceFrom the world I took this photo a couple of days ago, down by Belmont Wharf. It was a beautiful sunset and the colours reflecting off the water were spectacular. It was very peaceful by the lake and a lovely way to end a long…

I’ve Opened a Store!
Just a quick note. From time to time I get emails from people who like my photos and want to know if they can buy them or if there is a way to help support my blog. Until now I’ve mostly done all of that via email but hopefully now I won’t have to… ……

The location at Carrington was a little rundown and had quite a lot of interesting graffiti on the walls and surfaces. I zoomed in on this one as I thought the rust and textures around it might make for an…

Some Thoughts on the Election
Like a lot of Australians, I’m still digesting the results – or rather lack of results – from Saturday’s election. I thought I’d share a few thoughts while it’s all still fresh in my mind. At the moment we still don’t know the final result and won’t know until Tuesday at the earliest, probably later.…

On Newcastle Beach
Coarse sand, crashing wavesThe smell of salt in the air ~The ocean is home I went on a group photowalk yesterday afternoon. There were about eight of us and we wandered around Newcastle Beach and the ocean baths for about an hour or so around sunset, taking photos and talking photography. It was absolutely freezing…

Belmont Lions Park
I went for a walk along the Belmont lakefront yesterday afternoon and ended up near Belmont Lions Park, which is a small grassed area and playground for kids down by the wharf. It’s a very nice, peaceful area, with a beautiful view across the lake, and so I sat there for a while, thinking and taking…
