A rare sight as we left Luderitz, with clouds and rain over the dunes. The way the light and shadow was falling on the sand resulted in the first “Quick! Stop!” of the trip.

Etosha Wildlife
I went to a travel expo when I was around 15, and came home with nothing but brochures about African safari tours. Twenty-odd years later, and I finally had the opportunity to go, assisting Martin Bailey to lead his Complete Namibia Tour and Workshop over the last three weeks. The trip ended with three days […]
Hobart Dawn
I recently spent a weekend in Hobart. I didn’t take many photographs because, well, it wasn’t that kind of trip. I did get up early one morning and drove to the summit of Mount Wellington, where it was 2.7 degrees, with crazy winds making it feel like -8.2 degrees. The drive back down was much […]

We would often share a rental house with the Briggs […]

Kangaroos in the Rain
I bought a new tent. And a new sleeping mat. I made plans. I was going to camp and photograph my way down the NSW Mid-North Coast. The weather had other ideas. So, in the end, I drove to Newcastle and visited my parents. Today, I began the drive home, choosing to take some coastal back […]
