WPC: Silence

Show us your interpretation in a new post. Mine is a positive image of a peaceful beautiful place not […]

A New Year Win

Ten days into the new year and I am a winning photographer. I have won the first photographic competition that I’ve ever entered. I am not a unique winner mind you, but one of 40 and I haven’t been notified that I’m the top winner but as this is a year of little steps I […]

I Ripped the Band-aid Off

I owe you an update on my ‘other’ relationship. It’s been great, thanks for asking, we’re getting on like a house on fire (more like a slow seepage through the cracks of a champagne fountain!) I’ve discovered that my ability to have an AFD (Alcohol Free Day) was non-existent so I have spent the last […]

Be it in the vineyards of the Adelaide Hills or by the sea at Brighton these photos were, and […]

For this week’s challenge, share a photo that says “temporary” to you. As always, you can take the theme in any direction you see fit — from the natural world to the human, and from the concrete to the abstract. There is nothing more temporary than the glory of cut flowers – arrangements for table […]

In the Doldrums

I’m kind of suffering from writer’s block but I’m not. There’s lots going on upstairs but I can’t seem to be able to sort it out enough to make something of it. For the last two months you’ve had nothing but weekly photo challenge posts from me and I’m sure this is not enough to […]

WPC: Scale

This week’s photo challenge is to make use of sizing, placement, and scale in your photos. Perhaps you live in a place with mountains, and want to highlight the size of the homes in relation to the dramatic landscape. Or, conversely, if you live in a city, how do the buildings change when you place […]

WPC – Pedestrian

Pedestrian This week’s photo challenge is to demonstrate our interpretation of pedestrian and to me, it is us humans pottering about our daily lives out and about in the world. I am way too self-conscious at the moment to practice street photography (I have a fear of upsetting someone) although I admire the work of […]
