This weeks theme has been reflections and mirrors. I've been watching the world through the duality of mirrors, glass and reflections. I initially started this because I wondered about our dual personalities, our real world one and our digital selves. Walking a busy city, you often see people on their smartphones and with the abundance…Read more Duality – life through the mirror

Commuter problems
I missed my tram today, twice, because of my camera. Fortunately for me my train was also delayed which means I now get to sit with a couple hundred irate Australians and international jet setters waiting to go to Sydney. A bit of karma struck me, I had in recent weeks been waiting to capture…Read more Commuter problems
Life in sync
I read somewhere that people in large groups often walk in sync. I think it might have been something to do with a structural engineer report into bridges. Anyway, I have been sat at different times people watching and you know what? You can see how they pick up the beat. In pairs, groups and…Read more Life in sync
Life in black and white
I still remember asking my grandad what life was like in the 'black and white days' when I was a kid and have been fascinated by it ever since. A few weeks ago I wrote a quick blog saying how I'd not done much black and white photography of late and what do you know?…Read more Life in black and white
Love locks last stand
From Melbourne to Paris, love is dead! Not yet over Melbourne City councils decision to cut the love locks off Southgate Bridge, now Paris has decided to do the same with the iconic bridge that started it all. For years, love struck Parisians and jet setters wrote messages on padlocks before throwing the keys into…Read more Love locks last stand
Mobile Coffee

The results are seen below, it's mobile coffee but with a twist. Show me your mobile coffee on Instagram or Twitter with the the hashtag…Read more Mobile Coffee
Melbourne CBD Black and White
Some friends are in town on a stop off from their own travel adventures, I took them on a little walk in and around the CBD. I realised I haven't done much black and white photography for quite a while so took some shots with that in mind as we made our way around. I…Read more Melbourne CBD Black and White
Artists are born, not made
After my last post, I put my camera down for a couple of days but with some friends in town, I took them around some of Melbourne's popular lane ways and showed them some of the fantastic street art that is on display there and met some of the talented people behind them. We're all…Read more Artists are born, not made
Love, space and time
Somebody told me that take away cups are plain in Melbourne so that people might decorate them, so I've been doing that, from time to time. This one is inspired by the movie Interstellar - 'Love transcends space and time' according to Matthew McConaughey. It's something we are yet to truly understand. Happy Sunday.
Victoria bike trails
To cycle Australia has been an ambition for a long time, since my first trip here almost 10 years ago, so I made a start by trying out some of the tracks Victoria has to offer. The Warburton Trail is 32km from Lilydale and has some great spots along the way, one being the railway…Read more Victoria bike trails
