Silver with Distinction
It's time to blow my own trumpet.. Two of my photograhs were awarded at the 2007 Canon Australian Professional Photography Awards just a few weeks back. One, entitled Feet First was awarded a Silver with Distinction, and the other, Reflection got a Silver award. Competing directly against professional photographers across [...]
Erwin Olaf
If you don't know this photographer, go and have a look at his web site. Erwin Olaf is a Dutch photographer & film maker, who produces brilliant, top-end advertising work for his living, and does equally spectacular art photography as his personal work. I went to one of his touring [...]
Chromasia
Chromasia is the website of a Blackpool, U.K based photographer by the name of David Nightingale. Really, if you don't know this man and his work, go and check it out. What's most interesting to me about Chromasia, apart from the fabulous photography, is how it has developed. I first [...]
Denmark vs Australia again again…
Coming to Denmark is never a holiday for me. Rather, it's an experience best described as an existential crisis. You might think there's more than a little bit of exaggeration there, but to tell the truth, I'm deadly serious. The decision we made nearly 10 years ago to leave Denmark, [...]

Denmark, death and hackers
There was a death in my wife's family, and we had to suddenly return to Denmark. Pernille's beloved grandfather, Karl, died last week at the age of 90, and one of his dying wishes was that we all returned for the funeral. There are not many people I would travel [...]
Photography Education
I want to discuss photography at an educational level, and in particular at the Diploma Level. This is particularly pertinent for me right now, as I am completing a Diploma of Photography this year. Historically, photography has clearly been what you would call a specialisation. Students were taught photography on [...]
Flash based gallery production tools
I was going to write a small post on a new free Flash based tool from Airtight Interactive called PostcardViewer. But once I got started I thought it'd be better to expand it to review a range of Flash based tools designed for exhibiting photography on the Internet. Of course [...]
Talk about gullibility…
I had to post this one. I read today in the Sydney Morning Herald about hundred of Japanese people being scammed. Whats' so unusal about that you ask? People get scammed all the time. But this one takes the cake. It seems a company called Poodles as Pets has been [...]
