We just went out and saw a home observatory here in Canberra – a fascinating contraption on the front lawn of a friend of a friend. It’s taken him years to build and he’s still got further to go, but from hearing him talk, he is incredibly dedicated. I don’t think I could spend years [...]

The photo of the week is now back, and should be back weekly from now.
This week’s photo was taken on Wednesday (20th February) at about 11am in the morning from the Snowy Hydro SouthCare Helicopter over Tuggeranong, in south Canberra. Over on the right you can see part of the Tuggeranong Town Centre (including a [...]

Sorry this week’s photo of the week is a little late – I’ve been very busy recently. More on that soon!
But this week’s photo was taken just outside Bungendore on the same weekend as recent photos of the week.

You can click it to enlarge. The original is here.

This week’s photo of the week (see last week’s) was taken at the Bungendore railway station on the 5th January.

I opened the mail the other day and found a flyer telling me about a one day photography course being run by the Canberra School of Photography. So I decided to call up. I found that there was also an 8 week – one evening a week – course starting today, so I thought why [...]

I got a suggestion last weekend. Korske, who runs his own daily photo blog, suggested I start doing a photo of the week. Because he’s not much into politics or the media he doesn’t pay much attention to my blog anymore, but a photo each week would bring him back for a weekly visit. I’m [...]

So, I went to Black Stump on the weekend! This was my third time, after not going last year due to being overseas. Rather than working on security again this time, I was on the artist support team – basically we provided pastoral support to artists, in the way of prayer and just helping them [...]

Well, it has been awhile since I’ve posted here. Work has been busy (long hours and all that) so I really haven’t had time to do a lot of the things I usually do.
It has died down though, which is great!
So yes, I should probably get to the point of this post: I had my [...]

I just came across the site of a Swiss photographer who has lived in Australia for a few years. With an Italian friend, he is setting off in a couple of weeks to ride back to Switzerland. So far, their prospoed route goes from Darwin through West Timor, Bali, Brunei, Singapore and Ho Chi Minh [...]

I just love macro shots – anything close up looks super cool.
Here’s a few of my recent attempts:

The first two were taken at the Australian National Botanic Gardens, and the third was taken at the Australian War Memorial.
It’s amazing how much of your own city you realise you haven’t seen before when you’re showing around [...]
