The year was 2007. I was in the lounge room of my Tabernacle St flat in London when I heard the noise. It was a noise that hard drives aren’t supposed to make and the next thing I knew my computer wasn’t recognising the device. I tried everything, I called in an expert, I scoured […]

On Sunday I made my debut on the stage that is Open Water Swim Racing. After winter basketball finished a few guys from my team, The Savoury Shapes, decided that we should keep getting together on a weekly basis to socialise and be active so the Savoury Shapes Swimming Club was created (actually, I think […]

It doesn’t get more Australian than the country, so when Cam suggested getting a group together to head down the Riverland for Australia Day it wasn’t hard to twist my arm. But why go just for the day? Why not make it 4 days? Good question Cam, mark me down for 4 days.

When my girlfriend lived in Victor Harbor she always wanted to go to the Compass Cup, but fate stood in the way. This year nothing would stand in our way, not the Tour Down Under which we had to divert around, not the stifling heat of an Australian summer’s day and not the fact that […]

Who would have thought in 1991, when Kurt Cobain was writing Nevermind and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers were penning Blood Sugar Sex Magik, that in just 20 short years the planet would be so dependent on something that no one but a few uber-nerds had ever heard of?

There are good parts and bad parts of just about every job, including photography. My recent trip to Borneo had both of them, 18 hours in transit from Adelaide to Tawau was an example of a bad part (although to be fair the flights were pretty painless and I was impressed with budget carrier Air […]

What a lackluster month of blogging!! One post for the whole of December, just when I was getting some momentum and some regular visitors to the site. I blame the silly season, and also the fact I’ve recently moved into a house sans internet which will hopefully be rectified at some stage before 2012. Rest […]

I found myself in a camera store the other day and stumbled upon a new Canon camera sporting a 35x zoom. Yes, you read that right, a 35x zoom. A general rule with cameras and lenses is that the greater the zoom the poorer the quality, there are certain optical sacrifices that need to be […]
