I don’t normally take photos of hunky blokes down the beach. Especially not ones who – lets face it – could be my sons. I’m not the cougar type. But when I spied that tattoo on his back… well! My first thought was… are you kidding me?! Who gets a smiley face tattoo. My next [...]

This is why. Ah the follies of youth. Of course none of us would go outside in the Perth sunshine, well known for its lethal properties and expose our skin to within an inch of the burns unit. Would we? Nahhhh. Well not without letting someone we trust apply the sunblock. My poor baby has [...]
Yesterday I asked for your help in naming the flowers I photographed on my recent trip to Dunsborough. A trip obstensively organised in order for me to play bridge, drink and eat with others who like to play bridge, drink and eat. We didn’t win any money but the Busselton Bridge Club put on a [...]
I know that I am somewhat parochial when it comes to the wonders of Western Australia. This will come as no surprise to you. We are carrying the nation at the moment of course and some of our natural features are extraordinary: Purnalulu, Karajini, whale sharks to name a few. And of course our wonderful [...]

I love the Council House lightshow and when showing visitors around I will always point it out – if I’m near the city. The other day for instance I drove my eastern states colleague back to his hotel and driving past Kings Park I thought a little detour was in order. He made the [...]
Our 18th wedding anniversary saw us head to Fremantle to celebrate. We started at the Sail and Anchor where I have to say I was disappointed with the beer list… none of my favourites on it. I ended up with a midi of Redback, Groover had an IPL which he was very happy with. The [...]
Today I wandered towards the Crawley boathouse and the Eliza statue for a bit of a looksee. On Saturdays you struggle for space as the jetty out to the old boathouse is groaning under the weight of bridal parties keen for those “special shots”. (or maybe not so special as there are A LOT of [...]
I love the dreamy light in this photo. In real life the sun glinting on the water and the fog was blinding and without sunglasses, painful. But it was a beautiful morning to walk along the river and think of nothing except for camera angles. I boosted the contrast on this photo so you can [...]
