<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Does anyone remember mirror balls and disco’s. I was always reminded of little worlds with oceans of light and dark reflections of terrain. The sparkling points of lights tracing walls and ceilings like the projections in a planetarium are the stars in a world of a very different creator. Photo: Robert … Read more

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Putting a camera to my eye changes not only what I see through the lens but also changes the way I see when I’m not. Something as simple as shallow depth of field is hard to describe to anyone who has not looked through lens or seen it in a photograph … Read more

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" When is a beach not a beach? When it’s City Beach of course.

It’s both very … Read more

For me I simply like the colours and textures and the amazing natural saturation of these not so subtle colours. … Read more

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" I was wondering what to write about this beautiful place and found myself singing lines of a song from ‘The Sound of Music’. Instead of raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens I had stormclouds and soft light, and ripples on oceans… Well you get get what I mean. This image … Read more

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" Sure it’s just a sign. Much like any sign really. It carries the name of a famous Australian artist. No surprises there. It states what the sign means to name. That’s what signs do. It’s read by thousands of people daily but few have ever really seen it. The mark of … Read more

<a href="/serendipity/" title="Robert's Ramblings" This might be another Toy Soldiers Crew image but I’m not really sure. It’s with a collection of their work but does not quite seem their style.
