Everyday Life. It has so many meanings, so many representations. Everyday life looks different from country to country. So I decided for this challenge, I’d look a a snippet of everyday life from the three different countries I’ve been to most recently: Hong Kong, Vietnam and my home country Australia. Hong Kong Hong Kong … Continue reading

Weekly Photo Challenge – Near and Far
I’m behind with the Weekly Photo Challenge so I’m playing catchup but that’s ok. Life gets busy. The reason I do the challenge is because I enjoy it. For me it doesn’t matter that I’m behind. I’m still enjoying the challenge. I recently started a short photography course focused on Street Photography. I figure that’s a lot … Continue reading
Travel Theme – Red
Red. It’s my favourite colour. My nails are red, my hair is red. Even my car is red. So it’s something I notice when I am out and about, regardless of what country I am in. My eye is always drawn to it. The Huc (Red) Bridge on Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi. It mean the … Continue reading
Weekly Photo Challenge – Free Spirit
This week’s Photo Challenge and my photo of choice have come together as a happy accident. Last weekend I was driving to my parents house which is about 3 hours away from me. I’ve driven this road probably hundreds of times. A fact that I contemplated while I was driving. How many hours had I … Continue reading

Children of Vietnam – Part 2 – Hoi An Pre-School
Pre-School One of my favourite parts of my trip to Vietnam was Hoi An. We took a bike ride through some of the town and back areas. It was beautiful and a definite highlight, even for someone who isn’t a riding fan. One of the places we visited was a small pre-school. Our guide (we … Continue reading
Weekly Photo Challenge – Urban
For me this week’s challenge is slightly bad timing. Tomorrow I start a 4-week Photography course in Street Photography. Of course, as the challenger (Terence S. Jones) write in his blog outlining the challenge – there is a difference between Street Photography and Urban. Urban provides the context for Street Photography. As I didn’t have … Continue reading
Children of Vietnam – Part 1 – Hoi An Fishmarkets
In this world where models are the ideal, I find it interesting that the best subjects for photography are kids and old people. The elderly because they wear their lives on their faces. Children because they have nothing to hide. I found that I took a lot of photos of children in Vietnam – and … Continue reading
Weekly Photo Challenge – Merge
Of all the little “challenges” I undertake on various social media outlets, I think perhaps this is my favourite. Every week I am forced to look at a seemingly simple word in a new way, using new context and find a way to visually represent it. Which, of course was the entire point of this … Continue reading
Weekly Photo Challenge – Wrong
I thought some of the other challenges were…. challenging. This week’s however really required me to think outside the square. How do you portray wrong? Thinking hard there could be many ways – some of which I wouldn’t want to portray. Honestly, I seriously considered sitting this one out. Then I remembered a funny … Continue reading
