Attempt

When I was photographing dewdrops on some plants in my back garden, I noticed a some spiderwebs on my dead lime tree 😉 They made for some fascinating photos – not as sharp as I’d like, but hey it was 8 degrees Celsius and it wasn’t even 7am! Plus it was almost above head height…

Ukulele
Two of my dear friends sent me this ukulele for Christmas last year. I remember the day it arrived, I wasn’t feeling great and it arrived by courier. I figured out what it was from the shape of the package but still, when I unwrapped it and saw this gorgeous pink ukulele, I remember laughing…

Short Shoot in Melbourne
Last week I visited Melbourne for a day trip. I left my home at 5am, worked all day, then flew out at 8pm, arriving back at my home at 11:30pm. I knew I would have a couple of hours before my flight home so I took my trusty Olympus OMD EM5 with my 17mm (35mm equivalent)…

Are you ready for your close-up?

Examined
“So how do you want to handle this?” Mike was tired. This was the third woman they’d found. Beaten, filthy, with ligature marks from being chained. And always with their throat savagely cut. It was a tough case. He had a sister about the same age as these girls and he hated to think it,…
