Musings of a displaced Australian Photographer in Seattle, USA
One of my favourite things to do while waiting for a flight is to catch the airport lounge for a pint… and of course, process some images. I’m not posting any (entire) images, but here’s a taste… a 100% crop of a section of an image that will feature soon on my blog. I’m excited...
I’d had another snowy image lined up for today hot on the heels of yesterday’s post but instead, and quite randomly, this image wants to be posted. I shot this downtown a couple of weeks ago, flipped past it on import many times, and it wasn’t until tonight that it actually caught my eye. I...
About 50 miles east of Seattle are the Cascade Mountains. They’re a beautiful area of the North West filled with tall trees and ominous mountain peeks. Steep cliff faces line the pass as you drive through. When I first moved to the USA (and had never driven in snow) it once took me about 2...
I never did post very many images from my Vietnam trip last June — for a couple of reasons. The main reason is that I wasn’t happy with how I was processing them and wanted to give myself s period of time to take a break from looking at them, knowing I could come back...

I’ve definitely noticed that when I force myself to use a different lens, it really forces you to see things differently. Taking a photograph of an entire, wide-open scene is totally different from a photograph of the most minute details. I’ve been shooting a lot with a friend’s 70-200mm lens, and I’m certainly appreciating how...
I think that one of the most rewarding things about not only shooting UrbEx scenes but also processing images is watching them come to life from start to finish. It’s quite the challenge to actually convert what you’re seeing on location into your actual vision for the image. They could be two very different beasts...
