I had a friend come to visit and I was showing her how to use a new lens, I have something similar (Lensbaby Sweet80, she has the 50). The weather was lousy, but we were having so much fun in between the rain showers, laughing at getting wet, capturing raindrops on the treasures in my…

Share your world – 26th January 2021
Today is actually Australia Day, the day we celebrate being Australian…or should be. But there is so much uproar about it being ‘invasion day’ that for most of us, it’s not worth the effort to celebrate, sad really.

I had been looking for something fun to do with some friends and students for an end of the year get together, a change from the usual Sunday brunch and champagne or a ‘play-date’ in the studio. Something fun and inclusive of photographers and non-photographers alike. I came across this European Christmas Cookie class by…
