Ponderings

I'm coming to the end of my time in Australia, and frankly I'm no closer to finding the answer to the "what am I supposed to be doing with my life?" question.

I might be a bit closer to finding out who I'm supposed to be doing it with though...

You say "potato"

We have been attempting to dig up the small potatos we planted in the garden last year. From the looks of things it was hardly worth the effort really...

We are slowly but surely getting things packed for the roadtrip, I'm almost excited about the whole thing...

Heading North For the Summer

Well it would appear my lease is almost up and frankly I'm getting a bit bored with Sydney and working a day job and so forth. The result of which is a road trip from one end of the east coast of Australia to the other. We will be hiring a camper-van and aiming to be …

Meat Plus Fire Equals...

If there is one thing that both Australia and Japan have in common, it's their love of barbequed meat, something we don't really do in England. The best part about it is that grilled meat fits perfectly onto my diet on which I've managed to lose 12kg so far, with …

Going Wide

It's summer time here in Sydney and it has been nice to just go out for a bit of a stroll. Seemed rude to not take pictures while I was out. I've been trying to tidy up the site a little bit, part of which is the new wider blog layout, if nothing else it will let me …

A change of role

This past weekend saw me at a wedding, which in and of itself isn't all that strange. This time however I had an invite, a place at dinner and noone was expecting me to organise the formals. Suffice it to say a great, if a little hot and sweaty, time was had. I quite …

A New Project

Night Noises is a new blog which will hopefully bring together people who care deeply about hearing the best music that Sydney has to offer...

Feel free to comment but be gentle the site was put together this afternoon and sorely needs more content, which is why I shall …

Friends on Friday

If you like your TV, which it's fair to say I do, you probably ought to be reading Rev-Views as written by my good friend Styfen...

Thursday Triptych

Wednesday, for it is that day...

Nothing worthy of blogging about happened today, I'm tired and have to be up early, so I leave you with a picture from the weekend and a reminder to stay awesome...

Old Time Music Time -- The Snowdroppers

Today was intended to be a nice relaxing day, but instead I went to the local community festival, where I found the usual mix of expensive food, poor drink and mediocre clothing. There were however a number of really good local bands playing (more of them to come …

Monochrome Mon... Ahh crap

Looks like I forgot to publish the draft of this entry yesterday, so this year's NaBloPoMo has run aground pretty early on, oh well never mind. I'll carry on with the endeavour and hope that noone notices...

Check back later for your regular Tuesday feature...

Right Place, Wrong Lens

Shooting music with a lensbaby is almost as foolish as trying to shoot the olympics with a speed graphic...

Thursday Triptych

Three from the weekend. Sorry Ben, it definitely looked tight...

Saturday Setup

A nice simple setup from today. Just a shoot through umbrella choked up a little bit to give a slightly more controlled light. I do like using diffusers a lot more than reflective umbrellas, as they let me place the light source really close to the subject without the …

Friends on Friday

Go read some of Marie's stuff over here. I'll flesh out this place holder in the morning, but frankly it's Friday night and I'm beat...

Two for Tuesday - The Coke Edition...

It is really late and I've been processing all evening. Anyhow I don't think this pair need much introduction, just big strong images giving the same subject different treatment...

Wishlist Wednesday

This year I'll be bringing back a reasonably popular feature in the shape of wishlist Wednesday. Request away in the comments of things you'd like to see pictures of...

In other news, all the white belt pictures from the weekend are up over here

Monochrome Monday!

The labourious task of sorting pictures from yesterday has taken up way too much of my time today to produce anything too special for today's blog post (children's pictures are over here), so I delved back about a month into the archives for this one, which was taken …
