I love coffee. I love photography. I love philosophy. Today I thought about all three down at Prahran Market with a little coffee at Jaspers Coffee. Did you know the average life is about 650,000 hours long? I calculated how many hours old I was on my 27th birthday, then subtracted the approximate number of…Read more Life in Mobile: Coffee time!

Life in chaos
In a past life, my photography used to figure very heavily in protest movements. Recent events in Melbourne gave me an opportunity to attend such an event as Reclaim Australia and No Room for Racism protestors clashed outside the Parliament building of Victoria on Spring Street on July 18th. Ultimately we are one species living…Read more Life in chaos
Life in mobile
My new favourite activity is my mobile coffee shots. Melbourne has such wonderful coffee and such wonderful places to shoot, I felt to had to marry them up. Some you may have seen before but I wanted to give you a one stop viewing shop. Enjoy x …Read more Life in mobile
What a difference an hour makes!
I went back to bed when I heard the rain this morning. My first free day in what feels like weeks, ruined by the sound of torrential downpour. My plans to hit the streets hard and take pictures in ruins. Looking up at the southern cross system on the ceiling I decided to suck it…Read more What a difference an hour makes!
Tourist photos alert!
Forgive me for I have been doing the touristy thing. I did, however, manage to capture my favourite picture of my trip so far, the one of the planets dancing above the Sydney habour. People ask me what sort of photographer I am, am I a street photographer, landscape, fine art etc etc. I don't…Read more Tourist photos alert!
Life in mirrors – Duality – continued
Getting a good shot of someone in a reflection is a challenge. Usually people stride straight on through your careful compositions when pacing the streets but when you want to get a glimpse of them in a shop window or mirror, they are all obliging and stop! Pesky humans!
Life
For a millisecond I thought I was on to something. A short series of pictures called 'Life in...' then I remembered there was magazine devoted to that very idea and a Ben Stiller movie too. Face palm. Undeterred I am still doing my shirt series of images as the ideas come to me. Here's some more....…Read more Life
Duality – life through the mirror
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
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
