<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Hindley Street is actually pretty quiet on a weeknight around midnight. But not at the Horus Cafe. This place was buzzing in the balmy night with coffee, tea and smoking shisha from hookas. I’m not a fan of any kind of smoking but I found that just walking past the hookas … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" In this ever so digital world of megapixel spray, pray, filter and share it was an absolute delight to see a photographer doing something different down here on the Glenelg foreshore this evening. Tim McCullough’s camera in this image is a Fuji’s GX617 which is an old school fully manual film … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" In this image all is not as it seems. In fact you would have a very hard time indeed filling these glasses. They are actually hanging under a high shelf as is typically found in many bars. It is interesting that by removing the context, ie the surround features which would … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Gently pressing down on delicate skin this gift seemed far weightier that I would have imagined. Metal and stone, made with artistry, given with love and worn with pride. I would have thought it would lay there on an unblemished surface. Instead I see the burden.

It has a visual character I just can’t put into words, part stately almost grandiose and at … Read more

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" We won tonight! Well when I say ‘we’ it needs a little qualification. The team I support parentally and dutifully. The other side of the net a different game is being played. Lean tall players, deadly spikes and powerful rally’s. Hopefully we’ll be there soon; one the other side of the … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" While walking along the Torrens River down near its final outflow I found so many interesting animals and critters to watch but for some reason they were all so timid and flighty. I only had the one lens so I was focused on on the near distance. When I happened upon … Read more
<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Do we need to be concerned if Dexter really is watching! This well known corner of Rundle Street, is one my most frequented parts pf the Adelaide CBD. I love that brief moment when all traffic has stopped and everyone can walk unconstrained in any direction. A Real challenge would be … Read more
