Road trip to Townsville in June/July 2019.

Travels with my Q – Bali
Roaming with my Leica Q in Bali from Kuta to Ubud in April 2019. Never been before, never really been interested, mainly because of the apparent reputation of Kuta Beach and the bogan culture. So we spent a day in Kuta then went inland to see the (perhaps) real Bali. …
I don’t shoot birds any more
I shot my first bird in 1972. I have felt bad about it ever since. Really. Machoism at end of Uni camp. But we all grow up. Continuing my journey in photography I must go where probably everyone goes when they get their first DSLR. Birds. Canon 7D with EF70-200 …
A journey in photography
Many years ago, I went to buy a hi fi system. I didn’t want any cheap music box. I wanted to hear pure sound. The shop welcomed me with open arms – here was a genuine hi fi enthusiast. No fancy surround sound. Not six channels, just two. Plain and …
Can’t see the mono for the trees

Around the Streets in Sydney CBD
Christmas trip to Sydney with my Leica Q. Retail therapy. Sort of street photography but with a retail theme. The Q fits perfectly in my hand and is quiet. Also doesn’t look too serious so easier to just snap and go.
Black and White in Colour
I have been enjoying photography for many years. I used to shoot a lot of black and white in the early days, mainly because it was cheaper than colour. Then colour processing became cheaper than B&W processing so colour was the way forward. And I love colour! Indeed. But in …
A Year Down The Lane
Wisberrick, a 500 acre farm near Shelford in Victoria, has a lane running down the middle. Not just any lane. The Lane. I spent some time down that lane over a year in 2016-17. A full farm year. I wanted to tell it’s story, not just for the fun of …
