One of my photography groups often runs creative workshops, where we get to hang out, play around and enjoy concepts we may not have tried before. Earlier in the year we did Balloon Bursting, and over the years we have done a lot, they are always fun and quite often messy, so it’s great I am…

Desley and I had so much fun the other week, we wanted to catch up again soon, real soon. So over Easter, we planned to spend an afternoon with our cameras, some interesting subjects and collaborate on my Dapper Rabbit project, which is now slowly starting to come together. Two years of blood, sweat and…
Read MoreI cannot really call it a day trip, more an evening out, about 30 of us all trouped up to RJ Hammer Arboretum, in Olinda and played with crystal clear Autumn skies, the moon would not rise until after midnight. I have shot in the park many times, but never at night, I’d never thought…
