We live in a digital world now and as a result, the images we capture as part of our lives never make it into print. I am guilty of it…I have a camera with me at all times, whether it be one of my fuji digital cameras, or just my iphone. I take hundreds of […]
Today is Remembrance Day…. at the 11th hour,on the 11th day, of the 11th month, we will remember those who have fallen…did you? We were out in a public place…a hospital cafe to be exact…and it was interesting watching how people reacted. An announcement came over the loudspeaker system, and a ceremony was being shown […]

I admit, I am not particularly a fan of Halloween. It is a “holiday” that seems to divide us Australians…some love it, others hate it! Don’t get me wrong, I love things spooky…..what I don’t like is the “trick or treat”. I hate random knocks on the door at the best of times…always seems to […]
