Beating The Heat →
Excuse the lack of posts & shoots of late — I’m currently in the UAE catching up with family. I do have some shoots booked for when I get back to Australia, and I also expect to share some of the sights I’ve seen here. Saying that, it’s currently 44°C outside, so I need to pick my moments carefully!
And as an aside, I’m working on bringing my site over to a Wordpress +...

Sally Seltmann →
This was an amazing performance — made even better by how humble and honest she was in explaining the inspiration behind each song. If you haven’t listened to her album, make sure you do.

More from the South West →
The weather was not co-operative, and the mood was dark — and so I wanted to capture both. Bad skies don’t always ruin a shot.

An ad-hoc trip to the south-western part of Western Australia.

This is another shot from my shoot with Sinead — it’s a shot that’s really grown on me, likely because the pose wasn’t orchestrated. It was one of the last shots of the day, and it just worked.

Sinead →
This was a great shoot — not only were the conditions great, but Sinead was a great model and made it so easy to get shots we could both be happy with.

I had the chance to catch up with an old friend and to take some photos today — so how I could I resist? The below is my favorite shot from today, but the others came in pretty close!

It’s been a little while — plans falling through & cold weather don’t help my cause — but here’s my latest portrait. A big thank-you to Jessie from The Velvet Bow for being such a great subject.

Self-ish →
It’s been a long while since I’ve even attempted a decent self-portrait — but here’s my latest effort. I’ll aim for a better rendition once I recover my tripod.

A Different Approach →
The sky wasn’t being very co-operative, so I took a different look at things.

A Little More Candid →
A little more candid than some of my more recent work. Shot on a 5D2 & 35L, as always.

I’ve wanted to take this shot for a while, and I’m glad I had the chance to finally do it.

Yesterday's Breakfast →
Another food shot — mostly because they’re convenient to take, but also because I get to eat it all afterwards. Can’t go wrong with that.

Another Saturday In The Office →
To be honest though, I don’t mind it so much, especially after they upgraded it to version 3.

Keeps Me Coming Back →
I felt compelled to get one last shot at this location — I really like the run-down look about it, and that it’s almost in the middle of suburbia. A pocket of greenery indeed.

Cropping this in 2.35:1 just felt right.

Foot Fetish →
The title is a little misleading (I don’t actually have a foot fetish) but I do like taking photographs of feet. Gave this one a strong tone curve and loads of contrast — not sure if I’m 100% happy with the processing but so be it.

Which Video DSLR? →
With video having taken the DSLR world by storm — in a good or a bad way, depending on who you speak to — it’s become a lot tougher to pare down the differences between the latest models. Philip’s write-up doesn’t so much as point out a single compromise that everyone should rush out and buy, but instead does a great job of highlighting the pros & cons of each of the...

The last one from my (short) series — part of me wishes I could have snuck through the fence and onto the farm proper.

Lightroom 3 →
Really digging Lightroom 3, beta 2 — just wish Adobe would hurry up and release the RC or final version already!

Undecided →
I was really unsure about this — it was a little under-exposed originally, but I managed to convince myself that it should make the cut.

Dream-like. →
Went for a run today & took my camera — it’s sights like this that make braving the 8°C weather worthwhile.

Jobs Replies To Emails From A Gawker Blogger →
I thought this made for an interesting read — especially because it show-cases just how biased and tunnel-visioned the Gawker bloggers are. I’m not a blind Apple fan, but Jobs’ point about how ‘belittling others motivations’ (paraphrased) is spot on.
Most of the noise doesn’t come from the users — who are probably thankful that pornography is limited to Safari...

This Blog →
The distraction that is showcasing other photographers’ talent was, in a way, making up for a lack of my own drive to shoot. Ironically, that drive is back — except I’m now without a camera, having sold my gear to fund an upgrade that’s “in progress”. It’s a frustrating experience, but I’ve endeavoured to write down every idea I have, no matter how little...

Vietnam, 35 Years Later →
This collection by The Big Picture is moving & disturbing at the same time. While both of the Gulf Wars may cloud our most recent memories, it’s the Vietnam War that exacted the most terrible toll in human lives & livelihood.
