Jagos Café at North Sydney
Consider yourself lucky, very lucky, when all you do is point your camera at your friends and they put up with you. But then friends happily pose and love to play model too, right? Tray, Pete, D and I went down to Jagos for brunch a fortnight back. The weather was good. Well HOT. Much [...]
Rain droplets on the window
It isn’t exactly summer yet, but when the rain descended on us this afternoon I was really thinking of Belinda Carlisle’s ‘Summer Rain’. Oh how I love that song. Homeward bound this afternoon there was a bit of traffic delays following a 95 year old man who drove his car into the rail tracks accidentally [...]
No more a Nikon lurker

Biriyani cooking class at Nilgiris
A couple of months back we had signed up for the biriyani cooking course at Nilgiris. We have been there on many occasions and the food has always been great. Except this time we were going there to do a course — the art of andhra chicken pulao & biryanis. Am happy to say it [...]
Sunset over Siene – Paris
I still remember fresh as paint the day we landed in Paris. We got to the hotel after a very long twenty-two hours flight with two layovers and a missed connection at Heathrow. But soon we landed at Charles de Gaulle from the time we got in the cab (that smelt beautiful of an exotic [...]
Harbour Cruise on the Rocks Rythymboat
Last Friday we all had an amazing time at the ITD Harbour Cruise. Not only did Sydney put on a great weather and totally clear blue skies but even the lead up to the Harbour Cruise has been such fun with anticipation and the cruise in itself was amazing. We truly couldn’t have asked for [...]

A rainy long weekend in the Blue Mountains
We went up to the Blue Mountains on the June long weekend. Great to get out of Sydney but it has been raining since last Friday and it still hasn’t stopped. Things have been busy round here… and no matter how much I burn the midnight oil twenty-four hours seem such a short time to [...]
The Tadpole
The Tadpole from Passion Pictures on Vimeo. Directed by Bonzom Via John Nack. Had to share it with the world again! Totally brilliant. I keep waiting for more when the credits roll. Turn up your volume and be lost in the rainforest wilderness. FYI I have a whole new take on Tadpoles now!

I’m a Nikon Lurker
Just a little confession I truly am a Nikon lurker but with good reason. I’d so love to own the Nikon D3X right now But alas! Canon & Nikon are both top-notch camera makers — but they both have slight advantages over each other in different areas of their game. If you’re new to the [...]
