As promised, here’s some more photos from the Newcastle Uni Beach Party. This time it’s local band Here Come The Birds who earlier this year won the Tooheys Extra Dry uncharTED band competition and played Splendour In The Grass. And in other news, my Canon 5D is all dry and working again! Hells Yeh! So unfortunately it doesn’t... (more...)
A Canon Fried D! Get it! Yesterday I went out to Newcastle Uni for the annual Beach Party do, and it rained like a mo-fo. It had been raining on and off all day, and I was really trying my hardest not to go out there but I hadn’t seen two of my favourite local bands in a while so I figured I would brave it and use the comp ticket anyway.

Normally it’s me who is the one posting the cooking / recipe photos, not today as I have a special guest. Let me introduce Miss Cherry Bomb and her special recipe for ‘Lamb Shank a la back lawn’. Read More →
I wasn’t entirely happy with the images out of the product shoot this morning for the CPR Torch / Flashlight so I went back to the drawing board with my lighting set up. This is where I was this morning, and the following two images shows you where I’m at now. So I’ve ended up repositioning the lights into more of a ‘light... (more...)
All of this lighting and set up stuff to produce this one photo, which is going to be edited to hell anyway to be use on our website. All in a days work. Read More →
Pretty well every morning I’m in the office I have the same ritual, possibly habit. Walk in, make coffee, go to desk, read RSS, then start work. Today I photographed my point of view (POV) for no more a reason than I can do it. So here you go, my morning ritual in photographs. And in other news I finally got... (more...)
