General affairs of the blog.
I was planning to do my parameters session this weekend (Saturday), but it seems that the weather will not help a lot. It is supposed to be rainy on Saturday. As I will have to go to the city anyway (get my neck hair trimmed for free), I will take my camera and see what […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
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 […]

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.

Yesterday was a state holiday, Melbourne Cup. I was going to go to the zoo to have a bit of play with the camera and the animals, but the thought of going through the relentless traffic made me give up in going. Because I didn’t want to stay home, I decided to go to Newport […]

With six days until the Vernal Solstice, my garden continues to bloom. Yesterday I noticed that the (French) lavender has started blooming also. I can safely say it is the second flower to bloom recently. My garden has a lot of flowers, but most of them were in bloom for at least a month now. […]

I know that the Australian government already considers today to be part of Spring 2019 (as opposed to only starting on the 23rd of September). They have a funny habit of starting the seasons in the first day of the month that a routine astronomical event happens (Equinoxes and Solstices). As such, since 01/09/2019 we […]
