Morning walk, Mt Taylor.
Location: ///vibrated.sieved.demonstrated35°22.5105’S, 149°4.55454’E Morning calf pump up Mount Taylor1. Perhaps some advanced cardio training for the impending temple and noodle bar treks through Kyoto…. Or perhaps a slowly dawning realisation that the imprints I’m leaving on my couch now resemble organic post-middle-aged buttocks potatoes. I’ll run with the noodle bars. Anyway…denial, preparation, whatever. It was…

Through it on two wheels.
An Autumn day like this demands a two-wheeled response. So I ride through it. One of those days that serves up unanticipated perfection. One of those days that leaves a pleasant inscription in your memory that you might try to recapture (by doing the same activities or going to the same place) but inevitably fail…

Sydney is wet.
The rain is strong today. Caught the ferry into the CBD and soaked in it. Today’s mission: to capture a little light amidst the gloom….and a find a decent cinnamon cronut. Also, there will be bookshops. * Left my camera in the car, so all photos taken on my iPhone.

BLOC
This picture is my choice for today. Snapped as a window reflection, I captured a workman in a high-vis jacket on his phone. I like the way the window etchings provide an interesting patternation overlay to the scene. I think the man could be a little sharper. Six out of ten. … I think this…

A light lunch.
This photo is OK I think. I like the descrete pools of light at the tables (although the white on the table foreground is a little blown out) and the gossamer view through the curtain. I’ll give it a six out of ten. No…..I’ll give it a solid seven. … While I am not much…

Winter is coming.
Whilst these trees have not yet lost all their leaves, it will take but one big blow to drop the whole bundle.We have had a spectacular sunny Autumn here in Canberra, but now that is dissolving away and the gob of winter is pushing its way in. Despite my resistance. The smell of wood fires,…

Its all about the framing.
I snapped this picture down at our local supermarket.I would like to tell you that I carefully selected the framing to highlight the juxtaposition of sensual curves and industrial bold blocks of shading. But truth is, I was getting the manual focus situated so I could snap a pidgeon and I accidently pressed the shutter…

Smoking in the moment.
I’m really happy with this photo. The focus is sharp. The composition is good and the contrast between the man’s white beard and cigarette, and the greyscale background pops. I’ll give myself a nine out of ten. … Smoking. It’s one of those things that despite the overwhelming evidence of its badness, is still habituated…

Berma Coffee
Location: ///dragged.faiths.instincts36°25.6719’S, 150°4.5726’E It’s totally not carbon friendly behaviour to take a 10 hour round roadtrip to Bermagui just get a beverage. But sometimes you just have to say…to heck with it, I need a Berma coffee.
