If you are attentive, you will see it.. – Thich Nhat Hahn (Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk, teacher, author, poet and peace activist) When I think about a moment, I always think of something good.

Beauty in the Mundane
I was filling my car with fuel the other day, when I looked up and was struck by the shape of the carpark structure of the shopping centre next door. As a regular at Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic, I of course had my camera with me. I took these shots with my Olympus OMD EM5…

Spectacular Skies

The Moon of Blood… Or Cheese?
I’ve never tried to take photos of the moon before. I don’t know why, I’m quite fascinated by astronomy but I don’t really know a lot about it. I was SO looking forward to the Blood Moon this weekend. I even put a calendar entry in my phone for “Pink Moon” to remind myself. I…

Arterial Canopy
Blood vessels spreading carrying life-giving blood? No, it’s just a tree. It seems I’m quite obsessed with creating silly haikus…. This photo was taken at King’s Park in Perth. I was on an evening photo walk with a group of photography enthusiasts, wandering about the park and learning new techniques. Photo Walks are…

Birds & Cider
Some birds are not meant to be caged, that’s all.– Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption. The reason birds can fly and we can’t is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings. – J.M. Barrie, The Little White Bird. These photos are going to Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab…

Sydneyside
I was in Sydney for work last week and one night, it was almost 7 before I got back from work, so did some googling and found a great spot to see the city, the bridge and even the Opera House. The light was fading and a storm was rolling in, so it was quite…

A Piece of Nepal in Brisbane

The Pagoda has become a permanent fixture within the lush rainforest walk at Southbank. According to visitbrisbane “it features 80 tonnes…
