Sounds, Images, Words
I’m now deep into my holiday in Adelaide. After a fun weekend, I awoke to sad news on Monday, my beloved cat Sara had passed away in the night, after a full and fun 19 years of life. I had picked Sara out as a kitten from a shelter and she had been my companion [...] Read full article
This afternoon I took a little sojourn to the beachside village of Semaphore to look at the Adelaide International Kite Festival. Adelaide seems to pride itself on being a “festival city,” there seems to be a least one every time I’m here. That said, I’ve never seen beachside kite flying carnival, so I packed my [...] Read full article
Last night I was out on the beach photographing here in Adelaide. It was a bit of a frustrating evening. As often happens, I met some interesting people and had some nice conversations. But, the clouds were not co-operating, and I couldn’t get the image I was looking for. After the sun had set, I [...] Read full article
I’m now settling into a quiet holiday routines. Bike rides, slow lunches, walks on the beach and plenty of time to think. Just last week I was complaining to some photographer friends how I was feeling flat, stuck in a rut as it were. I often find the best way to get out of a [...] Read full article
This morning I flew into Adelaide, on the start of a short holiday. In some ways the flight from Singapore to Adelaide is too short, not long enough to catch a proper sleep on the plane, so as the day draws to a close I’m feeling shattered before the sun even sets. I’ve had the [...] Read full article
Is happiness over rated? I’ve been throwing that (and similar) questions out on Twitter for a few days now and the responses have been fascinating. Everything from total agreement, to questioning whether I even know what happiness is (apparently because I dared to ask others what they thought about the topic). I’m curious, because happiness [...] Read full article
I’ve been enjoying a very quiet, low key break here in Adelaide. Some photography, some messing around with audio hardware and a lot of writing. In a few days I’ll be flying back to Singapore and the messy task of rewiring my recording studio. These trips to Adelaide have come to mean a lot to [...] Read full article
My long sojourn in Adelaide is coming to an end. Soon, I’ll be boarding a plane back to Singapore. But, before then, there’s still meals to cook, words to write, photos to create and miles to ride on my bike. I love the winter bike rides here in Adelaide. This really is a cyclist’s city, [...] Read full article
Yesterday afternoon I went out clambering over some rocks to take a few photos. It was a lovely winter afternoon; cool, sunny and still. This was a spot I’ve visited many times, but never fully explored. In previous years I’ve taken some amazing photos from around here, but always from the safety of the shore, [...] Read full article
I’m currently spending some time in Adelaide, one of the Australian cities that isn’t Sydney or Melbourne. Adelaide is the capital of South Australia, one of Australia’s six states. The latest edition of Monocle mentioned a concern of local politicians. Apparently South Australia (SA for short) lacks “brand recognition.” There’s a suggestion the state should [...] Read full article
