The sun comes up and it gets warm, the sun goes down and it gets cool. The sun determines our weather patterns.

Tell the truth the first time, then move on.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

Walking in the mornings is usually a quiet, personal affair.
This morning differed.
While walking looking for pictures to take, my camera still in my bag, on a quiet suburban street a man almost knocked me over while he sped in his car around the corner.
OK, maybe forgot something at home, having a bad day or just another idiot.
But then 5 minutes later at other end of the street, pulls up hard directly in front of me (I am about to cross the road). My camera had just been pulled from my bag, set up exposure ready for a picture I knew was around the next corner.
"WHAD R YU DOIN MATE? TAKIN PITURES!"
"good morning, I have not taken a picture yet this morning. I'm a photographer, pictures are what I do."
I turned and walked away as he reached for something on his front seat.
Around the next corner I took my picture I knew was there.
8:15am 15/12/09.
Just another idiot.

Rules can be very freeing in art. They focus your mind. They eliminate distractions. They get you to narrow down on what's really important...and get things DONE.

So a few weeks ago I had a dream, I was running in a field with a beautiful mare. She was a light grey colour (silver) and was galloping with the type of powerful happiness that only a horse seems to give off. My mother was watching on and seemed happy as well.
Later that day my father rang to tell me my grandmother had passed away in her sleep that night, a week short of her 102nd birthday.
I'm just saying.

On Thursday the 9th of July

Dear Sir/Madam,

at 5:10pm this afternoon I saw a fluorescent green creek running from 33°45'37.74"S, 150°59'21.21"E, End of Conie Avenue, Baulkham Hills, NSW, 2153. The strongest smell ( of fuel) was at the drain point on the attached picture. Upstream of this point was clean water.

I have no feedback as to what came of this event other than being told that they would investigate. Ofcourse the filthy pigs that dumped these fluids in the creek chose a period of heavy rainfall.
My biggest concern is that this minor creek feeds into Toongabie Creek which then feeds into Parramatta River which then goes into Sydney Harbour. We have/had a healthy amount of frogs, eels, lizards and ducks along this stretch alone.

All is quiet now.

Pigs.

a quote by Chuck Swindoll about attitude:

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes.

...when your ears prick up if any of the following words are mentioned in your vicinity:
...picture

...friends save pieces of photographic "junk mail" thinking you are interested (and you are).
...when friends show you their pictures to you and you enjoy seeing them no matter what level they are at.
...when friends show you pictures and you find several ways in which they might improve.
...when you realise that spilling forth with ideas on how others might improve their photography is not going to work and keeping your ideas to yourself is OK.
...when you always have a camera with you.
...when the look of sodden, trodden on paper on a footpath visually interests you. As does twigs, rocks and the like.
...when lens talk no longer interests you.

Uncooked; unripe; in unwrought or untreated state; not (completely manufactured); undiluted; crude in artistic quality; lacking finish.

Why is it that in photography we must write RAW instead of raw? Does the word really need such emphasis? as if being yelled at us.

"Oh so you use jpg files, you fool, use RAW".

It's been a while since I have taken pictures of strangers, it took me a very long time just to get the courage to lift the camera. Then the friendly local camera store let me borrow a new Leica 18mm and a Zeiss 18mm as well. I had to shoot to get the feel of the 2 lenses, there was no dawdling. Suddenly I was back, not caring who looked and who didn't. So once I got my lens back and thanked the salesman I was happy to point and shoot at people with a lot less dread.

Robert Frank took 27000 frames with his Leica for his book The Americans which contains 83 of those pictures.

I'll be back in a while, SoFoBoMo starts tomorrow.

The picture I last posted is out of season and is a part of a backlog of pictures I have. But then it is out of season like a picture taken 50 years ago is out of season, yet I still buy books full of these old pictures. I don't understand why season matters when viewing a set of pictures, like viewing Trent Parke's Christmas Bucket pictures in a gallery when it is not christmas.

I'm sure Winogrand was always a touch out of season as well :o).

Excepting sofobomo or when I send a set of 200 pictures to my mentor I am usually behind by several months, my flash cards fill and wait for me to empty them, my film is stacked up ready for scanning and more is sitting in the freezer waiting to be developed.

prohibiting photography was something we used to ridicule about the USSR

I like the people from RedBubble, the type of humour I expect only from an Australian company.

Hello again Robert,

As you know you recently made a sale on RedBubble and now we've just shipped this order to your customer, this means we have to send you another slightly uninteresting looking email filled with more important data.

Please find attached a receipt for the fee RedBubble charged to manufacture the product(s). But please note this receipt has been paid in full and you do not owe any money.

This invoice is purely for your records. We'd suggest filing it under 'R' for Reasons Why I'm Brilliant.

Big love,

Mr Baxter - Head of Numbers

You are told to take pictures in beautiful light, let the subject glow, light is the tool with which to illuminate your subject, the golden hour of light, make your prints glow.

Then they take the work, they hide it behind glass, they show it in dark galleries, they use small point sources of light that reflect off the glass no matter where you stand, they light you so you are reflected in every picture, you have difficulty appreciating the picture due to the obstructions.

An oil painting is not so delicate that it requires glass, and it is set in a brighter room, and you can see the print unobstructed.

Please take away the glass and let me see the pictures.

Bricks at Night, Baulkham Hills Shire Council

It's too hot here, 42C and expecting just as high tomorrow. Melbourne and Adelaide got it even worse last week. Europe is having some of the coldest weather in a long time.

It may be global warming which may or may not be triggered by our carbon emmisions. Most of us have been swayed by the media that this is global warming and we have triggered it.

So I have a question, who out there that believes in what we are being told chose not to create more carbon emmisions by leaving their airconditioners off? Who left all of their windows, curtains, blinds, doors shut for the day and did as little moving as possible to keep cool? Who ate a simple salad that required no cooking and very little preperation? Who made sure that they only bought in season fruit and vegetables that required no storage and short transport distances?

Who made an effort to care about their actions and choices?

I need to get out and take more pictures, it has really cut down lately which is a bad thing. Problem currently is that I feel I have no focus (haha) on what I want to show people, what do I have that is interesting enough to show others.
No one at my new place of work knows I take plenty of pictures so carrying a camera there seems like an awkward thing to be doing. I'll hang plenty of my work around my dilbert cube and see if any comments come my way, an ice breaker and possible way of having a camera nearby accepted.

I don't know why this young chap (Dale) features so often in the pictures of the night, he just seemed to be comfortable in front of a camera. While I did not ask him to do anything he definitely delivered.

Take every opportunity you can to take pictures, it is only then that opportunities present themselves for you and your camera.

The interesting thing is that I do not remember taking the picture in the previous post and very little of this picture. And yet I know that the camera never left me, if it was not in my hand it hung from a strap over my shoulder while I changed cards.

This little grin brought one to my face as well.

It is interesting to find that many of my best captured pictures are so spur of the moment I remember either nothing or very little of it. Maybe that is hte measuring stick I should use.

Brooks Jensen has possibly mentioned those forgotten moments in a podcast, Colin Jago and Paul Butzi may also have mentioned this. Honestly, there is so much information out there (and pictures) that most of it becomes a blur.

One from Friday nights school formal shoot, expect more.

The big complaint on the Leica M8 is that it does not filter infrared. While this is not from a Leica M8, only a Panasonic DMC-TZ3, it took some drastic adjustments to make my pants not look purple. Maybe this is not an IR issue but it is the only wrong colour in the picture.

I often wonder why I take pictures, I stand there and think "what's the point, I see it now why not just be happy with that."

Then I raise camera to eye and begin exploring anyway, after some time I come out with a set of pictures of things I didn't really see until I let go and started clicking.

Morning light is playful but enjoys a rest from time to time.

I have taken up hill sprinting recently, a part of trying to be active and healthy. My job requires me to spend the whole day at a PC writing code or designing boards, I enjoy it but really like to move around as well.

Hills sprints take up a lot less time than jogging around the block and lack of time seems to be the standard excuse for not exercising so this seemed like the natural thing to do. Glad I have taken it up as it burns off a lot of nervous energy and I can get back to work or photography quickly.

This morning, after a sprint, I was thinking how this I might be able to relate this to photography. What quick burst of visual exercise would keep me visually fit the way a hill sprint keeps your body fit. After a while I realised that the answer was with me already.

I nearly always have a camera with me, it may be in another room, it maybe in the car or my notebook bag, but I'm never far from one. My family is used to me dashing off and grabbing a camera then coming back and spending time (who knows how long sometimes) playing with taking pictures of the light coming through curtains, shadows or spots of light on walls.

My visual hill sprints are those times I play with the camera at home, I can always find a few minutes for taking pictures at home. If I only took pictures when I went out to specific locations I'd rarely take pictures at all.

Where the garbage goes.

The other night I watched another episode of Chopping Block, for those not in Australia or not watching this is a show that pits 2 failing restaurants against each other, the winner receiving $20000.

A leading Australian chef, Matt Moran, is brought in to help each kitchen create foods that will help their chances of winning. A food critic will then come in and judge food, service and appeal of the restaurant. All clean prime TV time stuff where, in my opinion, both restaurants end up winning by having a much improved service and food.

One thing that comes up constantly in each weekly episode is Matt telling the competing chefs to simplify, let the flavour of the (good) ingredients speak for themselves. Don't add to many ingredients, two or three flavours is enough. Also bring some love and passion into what you are doing, don't just go through the motions of making food.

Not bad advice for photographers either, don't add to many ingredients to your pictures, keep it simple and let the good ingredients speak for themselves. That can be said for over photoshopped pictures as well, if I notice the photoshop work then the subject matter is being drowned or wasn't good to start with.

I can't say I am getting better at this but I feel the same peace of mind, the same thought processes involved as I do when out taking pictures with the camera.

Paul Butzi has been writing about his finding peace of mind while spending time on his driveway taking pictures. I find this peace of mind when drawing, out taking pictures and sometimes, although rarely, when writing.

The writing is more difficult especially when using the keyboard, the flow of ideas is stifled by having to look up at the screen to make sure I have not changed screen and started deleting or renaming files (that's right, I can't type properly). This is why now when I write my ideas and longer narratives down I do it with a pencil and writing pad.

Maybe I should learn to type without having to look at the keyboard, my lack of technique on ht ekeyboard gets in the way of my ideas. That can be said of not knowing your camera as well.

Exercise is important, a few weeks ago I started thinking I should improve my fitness and started spending 5 - 15 minutes per day doing something that would improve me in some way. Now 15 minutes isn't long and you are probably wondering what the point is if that is all you are going put into it.

Well it seems you can achieve a fair bit. From having a hard time doing 20 simple Hindu squats without serious heavy breathing I am now doing 80 squats and feeling good at the end of it. And I didn't practice squats everyday.

The same goes for exercising your photographic seeing, do just a bit a day even when you have no projects on and it will be easier to get into seeing as an artist does.

You are thinking American flag right, to my wife it is just more ironing.

Excuse my abscence, no excuse really, just abscent.

The word excuse makes me think how strange the English language can be, difference in sentence changes pronunciation and meaning.

Pictures can have the same perculiarities. Put them in context of different projects, different times, different viewers and they can have different meanings.

Pictures are strange things.

Tried my hand at some drawing last week.

I'm open to critisism of my pictures, that is why I put them up on Stills, Pictures and Better in Print. I'm also quite happy to hear (read) from anyone here or redbubble or a number of other places I have put up pictures in the past.

I value the time you spent to contact me, to comment, whether positive or negative, short or long. The comments I value most are those considered ones that tell me how the picture made you feel or how you think I wanted you to feel but did not succeed. Those comments that suggest changes to a picture in context of what you think I was trying to do are also worthy of my time reading them.

Thank you to all those people.

That's the warm fuzzy bit, now to those comments that I am indifferent to. I'm not so keen on the ones that tell me how you would of taken my picture. You see, it is my picture and while it may not be perfect it is my picture making exploration taking place and not yours.

You are welcome to tell me rightly or wrongly whether my pictures are good or bad but I'd rather you tell me if they hit any mark. Don't tell me how you would of taken my picture, take your own and send it to me to consider how much better it would of been your way.

21-11-08 update: you can tell me how you would of taken the picture, what a lot of drivel this is.

Over at Paul Butzi's site he has a post that reminds me of when I go to school to pick up my son Adrian, often times I have a camera with me. One of Adrian's friends, Luke, always greets me with "hey, there's the camera man."

One of my sons enjoys writing comics, a bit of a comedian this one. For Fathers' Day I received this little gem.

Guess what I fixed today.

So I got to look at a friend's pictures which he is happy with technically and asthetically but he feels they are to commercial. I'm not sure my friend reads this blog but I am going to give my feelings on his latest work none the less.
The series of work was good to look at and I had my favourites.But in general it did not seem to tell me anything. I see someone following a look and choosing a subject to suit that look.
The question that needs to be asked is does this work represent what you are interested in? What is the subject?
The subject should not be chosen to suit a look, the look comes with time after working the subject, whatever that may be. Concentrate on showing me what you want to show me, not how well your lighting skills are coming along or your photoshop techniques. My gut feel here is to tell you to stop looking at other peoples work and just shoot your own.
Sorry I cannot show you the work I refer to, you will have to trust me.

Seen here.

tinytinygroupshow is a mini electroexhibit of photographs based around a basic theme. There are no gallery hours, price lists, commissions, lengthy wall texts or attractive gallery attendants. tinytinygroupshow is a place to have a brief look at some photography, by photographers known and unknown, in a manner that hopefully provokes a little thought

And if you do not have Photoshop this online version may well be enough for you. Pixlr.

You may recall I entered the Sydney Opera House photo competition, see here. The winners have been announced and I must say I can't see the merit in these. I hope I am not being a sore loser.

The Grevillia is flowering and a small flock of these birds visit our backyard daily for a feed.

Every month I put up a print for sale at a special price, I'm a bit late posting about this for July but better late than never.
Several years ago I printed this picture and people enjoyed viewing it then and I expect they still do now.
You can find the print for sale on my site by clicking on the picture below.

The picture is printed on A4 in warmtone K3 pigment inks on Hahnemuhle Photorag paper.

It seems that you can come across content on the web and so easily forget how you got to it, add into the mix a bad memory and you find it really hard to give credit to the site that pointed you that way.

Some thought provoking content I enjoyed reading lately; this, this and this.

If you read it and then decide to forward the links on I will not chastise you for forgetting to write that you found it via my site.

While I do not believe in competitions improving my photography, or anyone elses for that matter, I still enter them.
Competitions have a place, they are there to advertise/promote products, on the other side of the coin they may advertise/promote your own photography. Peer recognition is also a part of the game to play.
Even the previous blog compeititon which required links from your blog to the competitons host is a form of promotion as it will rank them higher with google.
So my Sydney Opera House picture that I sell here is entered in the Sydney Opera House and HP competition hosted by snapfish. This is my House-In-Focus entry.
What I find interesting is that they request pictures that are not the usual post card type material, not their words but mine. Here are their words from the SOH site.

Lateral thinking, unusual entries and a fresh way of looking at one of the most photographed buildings in the world are what the judging panel will be looking for.

And here from the competition rules site on snapfish.

The judges Jan Utzon, Eric Sierens & Michael Mendenhall will select prize winners from amongst the finalists on a subjective blend of artistic merit, technical ability, creativity and presentation of Sydney Opera House in a manner consistent with its reputation as a World Heritage Listed masterpiece of human creative genius.

The judges will choose the winners from the top 10 voted pictures.
Well that is all fine but if you look at the voting so far you will see that mostly those post card type pictures are gaining the votes. If they are looking for lateral thinking then maybe getting people that have magazine/advertising photos pushed down their throats all day should not be the ones voting.
I'm not certain this was thought through all the way.
By the way, if you want to vote you will have to create an account with snapfish.
Promotion, promotion, promotion. I'd ask you to log in and vote for my picture, but that may take me outside of the competition rules. It would also be wrong of me to offer a free A4 print to each of you that vote for the picture. So I won't ask.
This picture of someone's sister or daughter must be the most honest picture in the competition.

Scroll down a few entries to the 30th of June and you will see mention of a photo print competition. I just came across another blogger giving away a prize, this time for linking to his blog. So I am entering, here goes.
Check out the Black Cover competition here.

Kjell and I swapped prints 2 weeks ago and I received his print last week. It is a tranquil scene of ice, water and tree, it is a picture I wish I had taken.

Further to the list of print exchange names is Douglas Stockdale. Doug's In Passing series was published in Lenswork edition 74 and the extended edition on CD that features an interview with him.

I've noticed a few pictures of curtains in my collection, in Australia curtains are rarely used to shut out the cold and are more for shutting out vouyers (not that we have more here than anywhere else) and for dressing up a room. This curtain was used for stuffing a hole in the window, it was harldy necessary on the mirrored glass of a south facing window.

This is the usual scene at family occassions, this particular one being my daughter's 6th birthday.
It is rare that I am among the throng of photographers aiming my camera at the poor dazzled subject and am instead pointing mine at them.

I do not know who Pinkberry is but Jonathan Saunders has a post on their photography policy.
I enjoy Jonathan's posts, they are from the heart.

What is it with photographers these days? Are they really all terrorists, or does everyone just think they are?

Since 9/11, there has been an increasing war on photography. Photographers have been harrassed, questioned, detained, arrested or worse, and declared to be unwelcome. We've been repeatedly told to watch out for photographers, especially suspicious ones. Clearly any terrorist is going to first photograph his target, so vigilance is required.

Except that it's nonsense. The 9/11 terrorists didn't photograph anything. Nor did the London transport bombers, the Madrid subway bombers, or the liquid bombers arrested in 2006. Timothy McVeigh didn't photograph the Oklahoma City Federal Building. The Unabomber didn't photograph anything; neither did shoe-bomber Richard Reid. Photographs aren't being found amongst the papers of Palestinian suicide bombers. The IRA wasn't known for its photography. Even those manufactured terrorist plots that the US government likes to talk about -- the Ft. Dix terrorists, the JFK airport bombers, the Miami 7, the Lackawanna 6 -- no photography.

Given that real terrorists, and even wannabe terrorists, don't seem to photograph anything, why is it such pervasive conventional wisdom that terrorists photograph their targets? Why are our fears so great that we have no choice but to be suspicious of any photographer?

As of issue 75 Lenswork will no longer sit on magazine stands at the newsagents, not that I have ever seen a copy in Australia on a newstand.
Looking at the Lenswork website they have a statement here.
You have to wonder how they will get new business but then I can across this sample offer. Amazingly you can order a copy of both the magazine and extended DVD for US$5, free shipping within the US. That is amazingly low.
If you want to see some of the best photographic printing and read about what it means to be a creative photographer then I would recommend at least one copy on your shelf.
Over time I have found that the better the printed pictures and books I have in my library the better my own prints have become.
As a side note, I have 4 copies extra that I am willing to sell, 3 no longer available as back issues. I have copies of 24, 38, 46 and 75 all in great condition.

I was more interested on this night of the people looking at the Sydney Opera House rather than the building itself.

This post is to see what extra traffic is generated by posting a subject that is popular, iconic and will often be typed into Google. Will the fact that I have now posted a picture of the Sydney Opera House draw more attention to the web site, draw more people to my photography?
Will it work better than posting pictures of abstract views of backyard (mine or others) junk?
In the end does it really matter whether I get one hit per day (my own) or 1000s of visitors per day. The important bit is that I am creating things, even if it is boring dribble to most people and a few pictures I am proud of put on a web site that is basically an off the shelf software package.
If SoFoBoMo has taught me one thing or at least brought it to the surface since I think I knew it already it is that I love to create things. Creating a series of pictures and putting then into a book format has been one of the most rewarding photographic experiences.
There is no longer the search for the winning picture, now there is just picture taking of what is interesting. If something good comes from it, great, if not well then it was great to have my eyes open to everything and my senses alive to the world around me.
In a strange way whether the pictures are good or not so good does not matter, the winning is in the noticing, the heightened awareness and the quietening of the left side of the brain.

Cricket season ended over here for juniors a few weeks ago, a welcome break for all the parents that give so much time each week.

Soccer season is here, to bad if you thought you could rest. Why are so many parents slaves to the weekend sport grind?

I am not sure how this works but after my little whinge below about not getting my printer yet I get a call from Epson saying my printer will be out within 2 weeks.
There are some strange connections out there, or just a plain old coincidence.

It has been almost a month since I posted here that I had won a printer.
I am very grateful that my picture was chosen, even more grateful if the printer I have won had arrived yet. No such luck. Considering that the magazine layout had been done probably several weeks before I received my copy and the winner had been chosen a lot earlier than that I'm perplexed as to what can possibly take so long. I jokingly tell people I will get it when it is superceded by another printer and they need to get rid of old stock of the model I won.
Last month Australian Photography contacted me about another picture I had submitted and was possibly going to be printed in the July edition, that is 2 months before release of that edition. So it is possible that up to 2 months in advance of receiving the magazine they know who wins what, so why the delay?
Instead of asking you maybe I should ask them.

an Epson 1900 no less.

For Christmas my lovely sister-in-law bought me a subscription to Australian Photography, a great gift thankyou.

Australian Photography have a monthly competition where you send in a printed picture of the months subject. February (the first edition to arrive) the subject of the competition was Summer, the picture that best showed an interpretation of summer would win a printer kindly supplied by Epson.

While I no longer think that competing in any photographic competition will improve my photography the decision was made to use my editing skills to find a picture in my repertoire that felt like Summer and send it in. I wanted to win something.

I'm happy I did.

Daylight Saving time ended last weekend for us in NSW, Australia. The half yearly ritual of changing times to be enjoyed by all.

This is my editing time and when I plan on getting most of my projects done, that is if I do not have an excess of work to get through. The hour after I wake up and they do is another available time.

I didn't know it existed, no idea how it works but since I have received some automated trackbacks and posts that mean nothing I've had to moderate this blog. Sorry for any inconvenience if you happen to want to see you comments immediately and they are valid to whatever the subject is.
If you have a tool or advice on Blog spam or whatever it might be called, please leave a comment.

So why a blog? I don't recall seeing many new blogs, mostly I see them once they are established so I am not sure how they usually begin but I would imagine that many go through a stage of explanation. I'll tell you now why I am doing this blog.
I'm a photographer (even so my main income is from Electronics Engineering) and I'd like to get my photos out there, show them to people other than my family and immediate circle of friends.
My first attempt at publishing my pictures on the web was to put them straight into a store front so I setup Imagetank. As a store it works well, as a site to view pictures I find it is noisy, colours clash, text can be overwhelming, it just isn't the best place to do your browsing.
So recently I pondered on what sort of site might be more attractive and more inviting for return visits. There are so many attractive sites on the web so I initially thought that might be the way to go.
Unfortunatley after one month of having my own domain name and also server space I never seemed to get time to complete the site. This was the first dilemna, if I was taking so long to put a site together when was I ever going to have time to update the site.
After a few weeks of procastination I thought about the sites I visit and the ones I return to on a regular basis.
The sites that interest me the most are those that have new content on a regular basis, new material is a big draw card for me. It may be no surprise then that blogs are my most visited sites, picture blogs, art blogs and the occassional forum.
So which was it to be, a gallery type of site which may or may not get updated often, may or may not get viewers coming back. Or a blog which had the same problems but I could update on a small and regular basis while also allowing me to write when I had something to write. I let these thoughts go in circles for several weeks and I finally decided on blogs.
So if I enjoy visting blogs so much then maybe I'll enjoy my own blog, visiting it, updating it.
I hope you enjoy it as well.

Taken at Crestwood Fair 2007

I would like to open this blog with one of my pictures taken last year at Crestwood Fair, a small Fair in my neighbourhood. This picture has been entered into Head On.
