Painterly Sunset
I took this image a few evenings ago near Belmont wharf. It was a lovely sunset but I’ve shared several similar photos recently so I thought I’d try one of my more artistic edits with this. Basically what I did was edit it normally, then I edited it again to strip out most of the…

The Lake at Night
At night The world seems different Quiet and still Like a calm ocean I took this along the lakefront in Belmont the other night. It was dusk and the streetlights had just come on, creating this beautiful foreground glow with the last light of the sun dying over the lake. It was actually so well…

Sitting by the Window
Each morningI look in the mirrorAnd fix my maskTo face the day I took this photo yesterday. I wanted a photo for a new profile pic for my social media sites and possibly for an about the author photo. I’d been meaning to practise taking more self-portraits as well (mainly to experiment on myself first so…

It’s from October 2013 and I took it near Tamarama while exploring the Sculpture By the Sea exhibit. I’m not sure why I never processed it… the composition…

Along the Lakefront
Along the lakefrontAll is calmAs the sun setsOn another day I took this shot earlier this week while going for a walk by the lakefront in Belmont. The sun was setting and the light reflecting off the water gave the scene an almost dreamlike quality which came across well in the final photo. Looking at…

Sarcophagus in Macro
Oh to live In ancient times For just a day, What wonders would we find? These photos are from a small statue I own. I have a small collection of Egyptian figures and vases and this is one of my favourite pieces. I’ve always found the lines and etchings on the statue interesting and I thought…

Look Who’s Coming to Dinner
I got a new dinner set recently. I’ve never really had a best dinner set before and my mother started me on this one with two pieces for Christmas. I loved it and we managed to get the rest of it in the after-Christmas sales. It’s strange but having it makes me feel more grown up…
