My brother gave me a box of old cameras, mainly old box-brownies, but in it was this cool box camera with the largest waist level finder I have seen in these kind of cameras ever. It’s an Ensign Ful-Vue and what is more it takes 120 rolls nicely! The settings are pretty simple and shutter [...]

Caravan

Caravan

There is a seaside camping/caravan spot we sometimes go to in a quiet spot called Walkerville on the coastline east of Melbourne. This van has been there for quite a while, but I can’t ever remember seeing anyone occupy it, although admittedly my holidays are usually not in the peak season due to my shift [...]

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 [...]

On the 3rd week of the Ballarat International Foto Biennale, my family kidnapped me for a few days and we went along the Victorian Coastline up to Tathra, which is over the border on the South Eastern New South Wales coastline. It was lovely and pretty much the only consistent, consecutive few days of blue [...]

Mine Site near Smeaton

I took this shot with my trusty Diana camera during 2007, when I was in country Victoria for the Daylesford International Foto Biennale, which has now transformed into the Ballarat International Foto Biennale. When we first visited this area in the goldfields, we were detoured down a mainly one lane road, occasionally surfaced with bitumen, [...]

Regrowth

Regrowth

Friends of ours live in country Victoria, which experienced some devastating bushfires early in 2009. We visited the other day and my friend took me on a tour of some of the areas nearby affected by the fires. It was wonderful to see how the regrowth was progressing in even the most blackened scorched areas. [...]
