When I started this project, it was the intention to capture our everyday family life. I grew up doing a lot of “posed” photos. Needless to say, I have a huge dislike for posed images. They have their time and place, but they don’t depict true life. Life isn’t always sunshine and roses. You can
53 Tuesdays: Final Thoughts Read More »
December 31st brings us to the last Tuesday of 2019. Number #53! Before you ask, no there will not be a 53 Wednesday project 2020. I have something else planned for 2020. I will do a final thoughts post in the coming days, but in the meantime let’s get back to image 53. The shed
Christmas Eve falls on the last week of the year, week 52. Sure this image could be Christmasy, but it’s anything but. I made the decision a few years ago to just not get into Christmas. When you have kids whose birthday’s fall on each side of Christmas, it all gets too much. Not being
We are up to week 50! Say wha! Isn’t it typical, that we come to the end of the project and we get all these ideas for locations for photos? Maybe the “run my hometown” challenge has me inspired. This week I set myself the challenge to use the 85mm lens. Now this lens is

When you have had swimming lessons on a Tuesday since FOREVER, and then they get changed to a Monday your routine gets out of whack. Having gone for a run, I had had a shower. In my pj’s and cooking dinner, it occurred to me it was a Tuesday. Damn, you swimming for throwing off
I run past a lot of houses. Some I take notice of some I ignore. Every house has a story, so when I ran past this house on Margaret St, I knew I would have to come back and visit it for my photography project. I have no idea how long it has been abandoned,
One thing I have enjoyed about this project is finding the little hidden gems of our hometown. It’s easy to go past something every day and not notice it. Recently I started a running project, to run every street in my home town. I wish I started it in line with this project, as I
Autumn and spring have to be my favourite seasons to photograph in. Changing colours and softer light is a photographer’s dream. The Golden Hour is that magical time of the day when the light is warm, diffused, and directional. Wandering over to the Grandstand of the Stawell Gift, it was washed in this magical light.
