AN ADELAIDE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

While the rest of you working stiffs are toiling away at your 9 to 5s I’m onto my third Banks of the evening watching monkeys run across the golf course having spent the afternoon scuba diving. Life is tough in Barbados. Dinner is on the way (Andy’s whipping up his famous jerk chicken I think?) […]

There was commotion by the door, I stopped mid-sentence and ran full speed towards her, along with more paps than I’d seen in my life. Our cameras were prepared hours ago, manual focus, exposure and flash were set and locked in with duck tape, all for this very moment, there would be no mistakes. She […]

Seven year old in the Apple store “But mummy, I’ve been asking for one since I was six” Mum “Just because you’ve been asking for it doesn’t mean you’re entitled to it. I asked for a horse since I was six and didn’t get one till I was 40” Mother/son conversations like this are what […]

Super Awesome™ (adjective) The act of being better than super and better than awesome; the highest compliment one can pay to an event or person; popularised by Dave Gerhard. Eg – that canal boating weekend was super awesome. And so it was, 12 of us had found our way to Rugby (the birthplace of rugby […]

When the opportunity arose to take Brendan’s monster lens home over night I didn’t have to be asked twice. The lens in question is the gargantuan Sigma 120-300 f/2.8L which I believe is the fastest zoom lens that extended to 300mm (for the fellow photography nerds out there!).

Alanis Morissette would have considered it ironic. It’s not consistent with my understanding of irony, but I guess they do things a little differently in Canada, eh? For me the rain was just something that needed to be worked around, and fortunately right after the ceremony when it needed to be dry, it was. The […]

The keen observers among you will have noticed the change in the lay out of this blog. Kudos to you. For those who are less observant, or are first time visitors (welcome, by the way, take a look around, make yourself at home…) I can report that with the help of Nate Dogg (who’s not […]

With wine from France (red) and Argentina (white), an English band, Indian food and Australian photographers Nisha and Carl certainly know the meaning of multiculturalism. I was fortunate to spend Friday and Saturday taking a peek into their lives with my camera as my trusty companion as I covered their civil ceremony on the Friday […]

Anyone who’s ever been to my folks’ house will know that my mum collects owls. There’s hundreds of them filing up several shelves in the living room, ceramic owls, wooden owls, an owl my brother made in pottery class in primary school (which doesn’t really look exactly like an owl, but it’s beautiful nonetheless) and […]

Right, it’s a bit of an eclectic mix of ideas in this instalment, but they all link together so bear with me. Ok, where to begin? I guess this story starts several months ago when I attended a photography expo down in Hammersmith. One of the speakers was a chap by the name of Gary […]
