Long weekends generally mean: ROADTRIP! I’m excited. We are going to the Colac/Otways area in Victoria.

Even though sunset will be at 8:45pm (in Colac), I will try to stay awake to take a night […]

Well, not necessarily with just Hughey, but he is the current subject of my photos. These challenges are with all things moving quickly. There is a significant difference of what is required when, let’s say, I’m taking a photo of Hughey suddenly doing something as opposed to an expected even, such as a car passing […]

I have not stopped cooking on a daily basis, but not able to take good photos all the time. It is either time constraint or composition constraint.
