Hello all!
Yes, I know you’re out there, lurking, because the mighty Google Analytics tells me it is so. There are real, live people visiting this blog. Trouble is not many of you are commenting. Well let’s remedy that, shall we?
One of the best things about blogging is that it’s a two-way street. I want to hear what you have to say… whether you agree, disagree or just want to say hi!

Come on, join the conversation and let’s get to know each other a little bit better….
Up in Dublin for a meeting last summer I found myself wandering near the canal when a scene on the bench opposite caught my eye.
I think this tourist was trying to photograph a map of Ireland, for some bizarre reason. The unintentional (or at least subconscious) similarity of his pose and that of the sculpture alongside him made for an interesting snap.
It’s a “grab” shot… like a lot of my photographs (I tend to have kids swinging off one arm while wielding the camera one-handed, hoping fervently for high enough shutter-speeds to compensate for the inevitable camera-shake) – and is perhaps technically challenged – but the curious juxtaposition rescues it.
Here are a couple of shots taken in Sydney last time I was there – one of the Opera House, the other of the Harbour Bridge at night.
I like the pattern of the tiles in this shot. I contemplated having just the pattern in the composition, without the sliver of sky, but found that eliminating the sweeping curves of the dome detracted from the overall image. It rendered the iconic suddenly unrecognisable.
SHB by night… ‘nuf said! Have used this image for clients on wedding invitations… works very well!
