Aaaawwwwww… ain’t it just so cute?
And it’s not like I’m just sticking up a bunch of cute animal pics on the last day of the month because I’ve set myself a rule of two posts per month on this blog, and I’ve been particularly busy this month, or anything. No, really. It’s not.
Oh, just shut [...]

Oh, looksee. It’s happened again. Some gorgeous young thing with five hours of hair and makeup behind her, one of the world’s most expensive photographers in front of her and every spare cent of her multi-million dollar bank balance spent on beauty treatments, private gyms and appearance-based pampering, went and decided to pose nude and [...]

Bugger. I promised you pictures, didn’t I? I can’t help it if the words take over, you know. Sure, a picture paints a thousand of them, but I can usually knock together a thousand words in half the time it takes me to take a decent photographic image.
Yes, if you hide two hands behind your [...]

There we were, sitting in the car while the rain belted down, eating tuna biscuit snack things and the kids’ Nutragrain bars, and watching riders on their mountain bikes push through the wet mud. They’d been riding since seven that morning and it had to be, oh, two in the afternoon by now. Maybe three.
I [...]

I’ve become rather opinionated of late. And somewhat wordy (which isn’t like me at all, or anything, is it? Hmmm.) Scrolling down this lengthy blog of mine, I have begun to notice a distinct lack of pictures. Time to rectify that, methinks.
Here are some photographs of ducks. Yeah, I know, like you’ve never seen one [...]

Every now and then I get an image in my head that I want to chase, but it requires another human being. A model, a subject, you know, someone to be in the actual shot.
Thank whichever deity who cares to listen for self-timer functionality on modern cameras, then, because I’ll be damned if I can [...]

Hitchcock had it half right. The Birds have insatiable appetites and will rip anything apart to satisfy it. But it’s not blood or destruction they’re hungering for.
It’s wood. House-frame wood, specifically. The kind of exposed wood you might find on balconies and window sills and lovely feature-board hills cottages with spectacular views of the city [...]

Okay, it’s probably about time I introduced the third of the Galleries I’ve stuck up here so far. It’s the most interesting, you know. I mean that, it’s not just me trying to keep you looking after you’ve already grown bored with the other stuff and wandered off to play with the other kids with [...]

Here’s a really smart thing to do: head out to a dark and isolated country road, well out of walking distance from anywhere you know, where there’s no mobile reception, no street lights and definitely no one within screaming distance. Take several thousand dollars of camera equipment with you. Then experiment by using your car [...]

Okay, I’ve started to load some photos up here now. Today it’s some high key studio work I experimented with last year. Which is my attempt to make the subject matter sound more interesting than it actually is.

Look, they’re pictures of flowers, okay. There’s nothing wrong with that. It [...]
