A Girl, a Dog & an Old Car
Monday, November 2, 2009
Recently, thanks to the example and encouragement of some friends, I have ventured into developing my own negatives at home. So far I have done a few rolls of B & W, but I also have the ingredients for some C-41 (colour negative) developing, when I feel brave enough. This particular image was shot with [...]
A Round About Then
Friday, October 23, 2009
On a long road trip it is a good idea to have a break in the journey to stretch ones legs and in the case of children to have a play in a playground if you can find one. On a recent trip we found ourself in Sale and discovered such a spot that also [...]

Coming Down
Saturday, February 7, 2009
I am contemplating facing possibly the hottest day in February in recorded weather statistics with my two young children whilst my wife goes off on a “Hen’s Weekend” (that’s right, the girls need a whole weekend to get rotten these days!) and ponder the irony that in the northern parts of Australia we have torrential [...]
