21 March 2017 – It was the sight of the lone palm tree that drew me in from a distance… Photographing a sunrise at Batu Ferringhi on the island of Penang has long been on my wish list of things to do, so I was very thankful for the recent opportunity to revisit the ‘Pearl of the…
31 January 2017 – Not usually one for making new year’s resolutions, there was however one broad goal I set for myself at the start of this year – to be more focused and mindful of how I spend my time. In many ways 2016 was a personal wake up call, with the death of…
July 2009 – New York has the Empire State Building, London has Big Ben, and Osaka has…a giant crab? I have to admit, before our trip to Japan, the crab was the first thing that came to mind when hearing someone mention Osaka. Not that there’s anything wrong with the iconic crustacean landmark itself – it’s pretty…
A shoebox of memories Recently, while revisiting some photos taken during a trip to Japan in 2009, I was reminded of the times when we used to shoot in film – how we used to send the rolls off to be printed, selecting the ones we liked for a slip-in album, while all the rest…

We took a walk along The Hill, and spotted a curious black cat on a window sill.…
22 April 2015 – Now this was one time I was glad I went out shooting despite the weather! Balaka Falls, a waterfall located in Hunts Creek (a reserve in the suburb of Carlingford) was well and truly flowing that afternoon, a result of the recent downpours Sydney had experienced. Despite a pause in the…
10 September 2015 – In case you were wondering, the title of this post is in fact the actual name of the light & water show at Marina Bay Sands, and it’s hard to argue against it – the evening show, which runs for around fifteen minutes twice daily, is indeed wonderful and spectacular. What’s…
17 May 2016 – When things don’t go according to plan, move a little further along the canal… There’s a spot along the Kaizersgracht in Amsterdam that’s popular with photographers.
