AN ADELAIDE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

We searched long and hard for volunteering opportunities in Africa. After weighing up the pros and cons of dozens of placements we settled on one based around chimpanzee protection and improving the corresponding primate tourism. We had just 2 short weeks to achieve our goals, so it’s fair to say that we were a little […]

We arrived in Fort Portal after a typical Ugandan commute. The bus was supposed to leave Kabale at 6pm but didn’t get going until closer to 7, and after being promised a 3am arrival time we were pleasantly surprised when the bus pulled in at half past midnight. If I’m learning anything about Africa on […]

Imagine half the population of Australia squeezed into a country a quarter the size of Tasmania. This is what you get with Rwanda, a tiny land locked nation in the east of Africa. We decided to begin our African adventure here on account of the critically endangered mountain gorillas which can be found only here, […]

After 3 hours sleep and a 4am rise we finally made it to the airport on our way to Rwanda (via Sydney, Johannesburg, Dar Es Salaam and Nairobi – yes, we probably could have scheduled a more direct route but it’s all part of the adventure). The next 6 weeks will be epic, if all […]

There’s nothing quite like falling asleep in a tent. Nothing but a thin layer of fabric separating you from the magic of the Australian bush; the kangaroos, emus, wombats, platypi, dingos and deadly spiders. Naught but a totally ineffective and stupidly thin piece of fancy plastic protecting you from the elements of rain, wind and […]

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 […]

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.

There’s a window of about 2 weeks each year in Adelaide where cyclists don’t have to be ashamed of their shaved legs and lycra shorts, where they ride 2 abreast on the roads with impunity and where it’s almost impossible to get a seat outside one of Adelaide’s many cafes which become inundated with riders […]

Right, let’s do this thing, day 2 of my 5 posts in 5 days and I’m bang on track. On my 2nd day in KL I spent half a day pottering round the world’s largest undercover bird sanctuary which was pretty different to anything I’d done before. Where I live in Adelaide backs onto Linear […]

Roll up, roll up! What you’re about to see will make your eyes bulge out of your head! That’s right folks, over the next 5 days you will be getting not one, not two, not even four, but FIVE whole blog entries! Due to a number of circumstances I’ve been taking plenty of photos lately […]
