Photographer in Perth, Western Australia
General
Today is another Easter, the day in the Western calendar that traditionally marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. This year, Easter falls on the first day of April, which is also in the Western calendar as April Fools’ Day. There are, no doubt, some people who would see a certain irony in… Continue reading Easter 2018
By this time of the calendar year, most of us are probably tired. Physically tired, mentally tired, and maybe emotionally tired, too. Weary. Burdened. The demands of life have worn us down. This state of affairs will be nothing new to anyone who has lived longer than a few years. Perhaps 2017 has been a… Continue reading Christmas 2017
Busselton is a large, coastal town in the southwest of Western Australia. Its 1.8 km jetty is the longest wooden jetty in the world, and I had the opportunity to visit it recently. The spring weather was beautiful; there was some cloud cover, but it was warm and dry. A small, blue-walled building welcomes visitors to… Continue reading Busselton Jetty
Many people would probably consider the Bible to be a largely historical book. Depending on their particular point of view, they might also consider it to be a largely (or wholly) mythical book. But what does the Bible say about itself? There are many verses on that subject, but today, a day on which we traditionally remember Christ’s… Continue reading Easter 2017
Traditionally, Christmas is a joyful time of year, when even many non-Christians are prepared to acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ in some way. But it can also be a painful time of year for those whose loved ones have died; a normally happy time is marked by sadness, due to the absence of those who have… Continue reading Christmas 2016
Camera Electronic has recently opened a new store on Murray Street in the city centre. There are quite a few current specials on sale, too. It’ll be interesting to see how the city store fares, but I’d guess that the company has been doing very well if it can afford to open a new branch. Plaza… Continue reading Camera Electronic in the city centre
I travelled to Singapore recently, and snapped several photographs of (cultivated) flora and (captive) fauna while there. First are some pictures from Gardens by the Bay, inside a large, climate-controlled dome that was significantly cooler than the tropical environment outside. The interior of the Cloud Forest dome is dominated by a large waterfall that cascades… Continue reading Singapore flora and fauna
Canadian photographer Michael Reichmann (founder of Luminous Landscape) died a few days ago. Amongst others, Digital Photography Review, Imaging Resource, and The Online Photographer have published tributes. I’m reminded of Thom Hogan’s tribute to his late photographic mentor, Galen Rowell; and if on-line words are anything to go by, I suspect quite a few people would have liked… Continue reading Farewell Michael Reichmann
It’s been a little over a year since I started this weblog, and visitor traffic has reached 10,000 hits. Quite a few of the hits in the first few days would have been webcrawlers and other non-human visitors, but overall there should be a fairly low proportion of those in the cumulative statistics by now. In any… Continue reading Ten thousand hits
I happened to be visiting a primary school recently and, it being a secular school, the teacher’s message about Easter was designed to be as neutral as possible. I was actually (somewhat pleasantly) surprised by how respectful the teacher was towards Christian beliefs, given the secular context. I have witnessed or been involved in some… Continue reading Easter 2016
