AN ADELAIDE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

May 6, 2010

I’ve been cranking the iPhone for almost 2 years now, I was a reasonably early adopter but certainly wasn’t a pioneer. For some reason I thought no one in Adelaide would have one when I returned and couldn’t wait to trump my friends in the fancy phone department, unfortunately I soon discovered that pretty much […]

One of the tricky things about being into photography is striking a balance between living in the moment, and taking a photo of that moment. A rule of sports photography is that if you saw it happen then you didn’t get it, I know this full well after having my lens attached to my face […]

One of things I loved most about living in London was the number of totally random events that happened there. If you’ve got a whacky idea that works best with a crowd of 100 people then chances are you’ll find them in the 10 million man quagmire that is greater London. To clarify what I […]

It only took 13 weeks too, nearly double the quoted time, their excuse? Recent cold weather in the UK delayed the […]

TEAR Australia works to help those in need both in Australia and abroad and in recent years have become well known for their World’s Most Useful Gift Catalogue which allows you to donate a goat or a well […]

Yesterday I returned from a weekend away in Victor Harbor. For those not familiar with the region Victor is to Adelaide what Brighton is to London, a beach side destination about an hour out of town. Except it’s different. If you replace Brighton’s rocky beach with nice natural sand, a tacky chav-filled jetty with a […]

I see you’ve found your way to my new blog address. Kudos. This will be the blog I update from here in on, the old Billo’s Photos Blog was great but all good things must come to an end. And because blogs are so much better with a photo attached here’s one (well, two actually) […]

I’ve been back home in Adelaide for 2 months now. Wow. That went fast. So far I’d have to say my return has gone extremely well, better than expected, after a few weeks of feeling unsettled I quickly found my feet and am loving the lifestyle Australia has to offer. However.
