Photography is my way of capturing the quiet and often overlooked. Whether working with digital or 35mm film, I focus on wildlife, landscapes, and everyday scenes from Indonesia and Australia. From butterflies and birds to city corners and forest light, each image reflects a moment of stillness and presence. To view the gallery, choose ‘Photography’ in the menu bar. A drop-down will appear for you to select from. You can view my photos organised in Album by Shoot or Album by Category. Just select one to explore the album. There is also a section called ‘My Camera Bag’. This is where I discuss my various cameras and offer insight into each one, including how I came across them, their specifications, and the lenses I use.
My Substack is where I reflect on the creative process through essays, book reviews, and behind-the-scenes insights into my writing and photography, often featuring recent photo shoots. In the Things I Blog section, I regularly explore themes like memories, place, the tools I use, and how everyday moments can spark inspiration. I also share updates on my evolving photographic work and creative workflow. To keep up with new posts, insights, and updates, just click Substack in the menu bar. Also, anyone who subscribes to my substack recives a free copy of my latest release, as I release them. Subscribe for FREE today.
In life and in our hobbies, we seem to live in a society where there’s always a solution, as long as you're willing to pay for it. Now retired and watching every penny, I find myself in a conundrum: I don’t want to give up the interests and passions I enjoy, but I’m also reluctant to spend money on yet another subscription based service. With this in mind, I’ve started a few projects. Over the years, I’ve developed a diverse skillset, having learned many different things throughout my life. Drawing on these skills, I’ve found ways to create my own solutions, each one designed to solve a problem without any cost or subscription required.
