    Pinny Beach at Dusk

    Purple skiesClear water -Memories of another lifeLong ago I took these photos a couple of weeks ago. I had been planning to arrive for a sunset shoot but I ended up being slightly late and missed it. The dusk was still beautiful though and I think the photos turned out well anyway as the light…

    I Am

    Image: I Am Another You ~ Jeff Robinson I am many things A son, a writer, a boy, a man, a friend I am all those things and I am nothing On myself, I depend I am a memory that will be forgotten I am a face that will fade away I long to be…

  • The Year That Was

    Buildings Devastated By War I have been following the scenes coming out of Gaza closely during the last five days. Like most people I have been stunned by how the situation has deteriorated so quickly… this period has been the bloodiest I can remember. I had hoped that a brief ceasefire might be reached to…

  • The Next Day (September 12)

    The next day of life Sorrow rising with the sun My heart remembers Faces on billboards Flags blowing in the warm breeze Two towers, falling One among thousands Lying in a smoky grave Irreplaceable Memories of you A kiss under candlelight Your smiling blue eyes A river of dreams Plans of a different life I…

I forgot a couple of birthdays last year, was late for several appointments I shouldn’t have forgotten, and the last few weeks have got into the bad habit of…

  • Another year over

    So it’s 7AM and the celebrations have just finished around Sydney Harbour, ringing in the new year. The fireworks were dazzling, and loud as usual; I’m about forty minutes outside of the CBD and could still hear them going off. Normally I don’t get carried away with the fireworks but they were impressive this year,…

  • Courage and courtesy

    I’ve had a couple of strange experiences this week. Nothing that would make you wonder if it’s a full moon or something, but strange enough that they’ve stood out. They’re actually related and that’s part of what I find strange. The first thing happened when I was finishing the last of my Christmas shopping a…

  • The Smallest of Truths

    Image from Stock.Xchang The smallest of truths Hidden in a field of lies Towers over all Beauty without form Colder than a frozen heart Only anger warms A forbidden kiss Reflected in candlelight My heart remembers Memories of life Strongest before the darkness Fade away with dawn A final goodbye A time for joy and…
