portrait of a street
Sometimes I photograph the mundane. Ha ha – this is not the same as having mundane pictures of the not-mundane – I’ve got plenty of these! What I mean is that I find mundane objects, on reflection over their image in a photograph, not nearly as mundane as we think. Getting a [...]

the birds around here
We live on the Central Coast of New South Wales, about 1 hour 45 minutes’ drive north of Sydney. We are lucky to have a farmer’s paddock across the fence and a lot of bush around us. We are blessed with a lot of different types of birds and it was not until we had [...]

What is the name of this flower, does anyone know? It is very common on the dunes along the coast where we live, 100 km or so north of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
It grows low to the ground and spreads by throwing out shoots along the ground, then taking root here and [...]

another shot by the shore
I spend a lot of time when out photographing down by the shore. Here’s another picture of the rock platforms that are so common on our bit of coast.
Looks like some sort of stylised form of a person – or a frog – flat on its face.

night time in sydney
I found this languid pair in a shop window in Newtown, Sydney. She’s rather cute don’t you think? I’m not sure the gear he is wearing would suit me, I think I would find the vinyl a bit sticky and the spiked collar might be a bit off-putting.
I think the place was called Wild Things [...]

working with the old Ricoh
I have posted below about the success I have had with my old Ricoh 500G. Here’s another picture that pleases me a lot with the little old thing:
This now raises two issues:

the frame counter does not work (I did not mention this [...]

testing my old Ricoh
A short time ago, I posted about my old Ricoh camera. Happy to say now, with one qualification which I will explain below, that the 35-year old little thing seems to be working just fine. I shot a trial roll of film down at the beach about a week ago and got the results today. [...]

building my website
I am about to start rebuilding a Web site. My ISP (the very good Exetel) gives each subscriber 200 MB of Web space that you can use or not as you wish.
Of ocurse, as a compulsive fiddler with things computer-based, especially software, photo-sharing Web sites and the like, I jumped to use some at [...]
