AN ADELAIDE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Has the world turned upside down? If Nadal being bundled out of the French in the 4th round to a Swede, a Swede(!), wasn’t weird enough London has just reeled off her second successive sunny weekend. Insanity. I decided to head out to Hampstead Heath for a picnic with Bec and Danny, but our plans […]

IN just 15 hours I’ll be climbing aboard a giant cigar and flying to the other side of the world. Unlike most people I like nothing more than a good long haul flight, 24 hours of sitting in a comfy seat with a host of entertainment options available and someone who brings you food and […]

Once upon a time birthdays were filled with wonderment, sleepless nights in the lead up, cakes shaped like cats and cricket pitches (pretty sure Mum baked both of these in my younger years – is that right Mum?), fairly bread, parties and PRESENTS. Presents from parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles, brothers, friends, you name it.
