Day trippin’

When I first started work, I spent my time behind computers, ferreting about with wires and cables and generally fixing them.  Then I was allowed to program them, losing myself in lines and lines of code and logic. This sometimes meant I didn’t see daylight, especially when it came to building the semi-supercomputing style systems, sometimes ending up almost inside them before they were…

Drive out to the country

Yes, it’s another of those weekend photo posts! Jay and I decided to go on another little drive out to a place we haven’t been before.  Well, to be 100% accurate, its somewhere I’ve not been before – Jay has been to most places having lived here for 20+ years, but me being Johnny Foreigner, I haven’t really been to many places outside of…

Photo Sunday

It’s been a shocker, weather wise, over the last three of four days.  A massive winter storm system has swept in off the Indian Ocean unleashing torrential rain and howling gales (upto 130kmh winds) that have relentlessly battered the Perth coast, with Rockingham copping some of the worst of it. The bad weather means I’ve not been able to get out to get any…

good food and wine show

This week The Good Food and Wine show has come to Perth. Yes, I know.  Culture.  In Perth.  I can hardly believe it either. Jay got us tickets to go so we could wander around from 10 to 12 before general admission started.  More time for us and the food to get better acquainted before the crowds arrive 🙂

two went on an adventure

It was one of those weekends coming up where the girls were round at their father’s, the weather looked ok and we were looking for things to do. Usually (as past posts have clearly shown), we’ll wander out for coffee and end up having either breakfast or lunch and then spend the rest of the weekend sleeping off all the calories. Well, not this…

Mangles Bay

I had a few spare hours yesterday as Jay was writing, so I packed up the camera and headed out to take some shots.  I initially wanted to go to one of the jetties in Rockingham and get some more long exposure shots, but I’ve kinda done that to death for the moment already. So I wandered over to Mangles Bay, where the boats…

experiments with motion

When the light is low and delicious it becomes malleable, flexible.  A static photograph renders what was there, sometimes better than others, but often not the feeling of being there. But play with the light, with the camera, with the landscape, with motion and things become more interesting.

Breakfast

Once in a while (ok, often) it’s nice to go out for a proper breakfast.  It’s gorgeously sunny today and we had a few errands to run that were tantalisingly close to the foreshore and it’s array of cafes 🙂 We started out just going for coffee, but it was brunch time and one thing led to another..

Birthday boy

It was my birthday last week I’m a whole 40 years old now. I don’t really feel it. Or, according to my colleagues at work, really look it either (although I have a wokey eye today thanks to a rogue cat hair).  I had to work, which was a bit of a downer, but I did get to celebrate a little bit after work…

Polaroid

So, after my last post, I thought I’d show you the difference between the silver shade Impossible Project film and the regular (but now out of date) original Polaroid film.
