Along the Northern Expressway is a deserted farm house I have wanted to photograph for some time now. Each time I have zoomed past in a hurry to something more important I have noticed the different aspects of the place as the lighting is always different. Tonight I chose to stop and take some images … Read more
There is a bitter sweetness to that first cracking of the shell. That once beautiful, unblemished egg-shaped form of chocolate can’t deliver its gift until it is shattered and broken into pieces. No longer the visual feast and now cracked and broken its giving of pleasure will last only as long as the last mouthful. … Read more
It seems your can’t avoid chocolate at Easter so why settle for anything less than utter indulgence. Rather than bunnies, bilbies, eggs and bars we got to indulge in Lachlan MacKinnon’s incredible chocolate melange creation. After than well … actually I won’t say no to more Eater chocolate! 😉 Photo: Robert Rath, ‘366 Days of … Read more
Moody grey skies make for great backdrops and this morning’s grey had a fantastic mix of highlights, dark and shadows.

I was just about to step into the lift when I noticed a beautiful pink and purple fluorescent glow emanating from the lift well. I’m not sure why I had never seen it before. The lifts in the Innova21 Building on the University of Adelaide’s North Terrace campus were already a wonderful piece of aesthetic … Read more
A walk down Hindley Street can be a real eye opener and full of photo opportunities. Unfortunately some of those opportunities are the very ones that make me want to hide my gear or wish I had left it at home! I thought this photo of one mean looking motor vehicle would be pretty safe. … Read more
Since Christmas I have been tending to a little chili plant I have been growing from seed, the Bhut Jolokia, also known as the Naga Ghost Chili and reported to be the hottest chili in the world. My ghost chili plant is now 40 cm tall and bursting with little white flowers. It seemed only … Read more
Sometimes it helps to lie down and look at things from a different perspective. This sculpture of solar petals outside Adelaide’s Festival Centre looks interesting enough just walking by.
