I’ve just returned from spending Christmas with my family in Canberra, taking a week off at Bondi Beach on the way down to have a play with the camera.

I’ve just upgraded my camera gear in preparation for the “next chapter” I’ve been rabbiting-on about

So, gone is the medium format camera and the range of lenses I previously used with my 35mm Nikon. My priority now is to travel light and limit myself to just one camera and my three most frequently used lenses….

I struggle with Australia’s current Prime Minister, Scott Morrison (I know, I’m a photographer not a commentator but – while I had no option but to sit back and cringe watching America and the world suffer under Trump – I figure I’m entitled to vent about the leadership in my own backyard)….

After more than 20 years of being a professional tourism photographer, it’s only now – largely as a result of the time I’ve served in lockdown – that I’ve discovered there’s so much more I can do to improve my photographs in post-production.

For more than 12 years I’ve enjoyed my “Writer’s Pad” in Brisbane but I miss the beach and it makes sense to sell now (while prices are outrageous😉) and re-settle nearer the surf before borders finally open and I’m able to head overseas again.
