I can still hear Victoria’s gawking outside the kitchen door, asking to be put back in the chicken run. That used to be an annoying, yet comforting, sound: Victoria asking to be reunited with her sister (Sophia). My father-in-law (to be) came over yesterday while I was at work and buried our two girls. I […]

I woke up at 2:30am with horrible noises coming from the chicken coop. I jumped out of bed and ran to the chicken run only to find a fox running away and both the chickens dead. (not going to get into the graphical details here) I did not have a good sleep after that and […]

So this has been a fruitful weekend, and Williamstown has blessed me with vintage cars. I hate editing out “personal information” in photos, such as licence plates. Yesterday’s photos were of a commercial car (rental). These cars, as far as I could tell, were privately owned and that’s why I’ve blurred out the licence plates […]

This week the girls were all over the place. Having said that, it’s mostly Sophia in the photos, Victoria was a bit camera shy. Anyway, here are the photos of Sophia and Victoria.

I went out with my friend Ray to the Scienceworks and Planetarium today. After we were kicked out (didn’t know it closed at 4:30), we went to Williamstown for a drink. When we got to the Pelicans Landing, just outside were 3 vintage cars parked as part of a wedding/bridal party. I took these photos […]

In the previous post I was exploring Stony Creek reserve, where I took photos of the West Gate bridge and the reserve itself, with all the structures around it. I also noticed something that just was not quite right. Visit the Not Quite Right album.
View ArticleOften very under appreciated, the West Gate bridge is a beautiful work of engineering art. It serpents over the Yarra river, roughly connecting the west to the CBD. I know I have taken photos of it at dusk and so I decided to take photos of it during the day. I went to the Stony […]

As you’ve been able to read in this blog, I sometimes am uninspired and just hate (maybe too strong of a word to use) my photos. I’ve recently read in The Passionate Photographer Dream it, Be it, by Steve Simon, that it is ok to feel that way every now and again. Below is the […]

I’ve been sick in bed these last few days. Even though I’m feeling slightly better, I’m still not up for being in an air conditioned environment full of people, it would be disrespectful to cough all the time. Having said that, I get bored of staying in bed all day also, especially with such beautiful […]

This blog to me is a sanity exercise. In fact, photography itself is a sanity exercise. I’ve tried to keep a consistent blogging pattern: at least once per week. This frequency is not always possible, but I have been able to get close to it. The 52 Weeks of Chickens is one of the exercises […]

The weekend was a bit all over the place, but I was able to take the photos of the girls. Now I went to a wedding last night in Daylesford and didn’t take my camera as I thought we would drive back last night after the wedding. But we started to drink and felt that […]

On Melbourne Cup day I ALSO went to Williamstown. As I mentioned, I was going to the Zoo, but I remembered that the Zoo was close to the races. Traffic in the (race) area is always horrible, so I stayed out west – Williamstown and Newport Lake Reserve.
