Sydney Photo Collage #2
This is another collage of Sydney photos that I made recently. It’s the third collage in the series and I really like how it came out. Like the second collage, the photos were all taken around places I knew well while I lived in Sydney like Centennial Park and the QVB but I tried to…

I wanted a photo for a new profile pic for my social media sites and possibly for an about the author photo.

Which Door Would you Choose?
So I came across an interesting post on Facebook earlier today. It asked a question that in turn got me thinking about something else. So I thought I’d borrow the idea and explore it in a bit more detail on the blog. First, here’s the post itself: I guess I found it interesting as…
