... for old times' sake. Got to spend a week in Sydney last week for work, so I got in the weekend before to meet up with friends. As usual, when the weather cooperates, I just had to get out on the water for a spot of kayaking. Garry, Bridget and Natalie joined me for …
2019 in the Rearview
Writing a look back on the past year hadn't crossed my mind this time, not to mention my complete overlooking of the fact that another decade had just flashed by. I only realized this after the deluge of posts by friends online, listing their accomplishments, highlights and lowlights. Photographically speaking (since this is technically a …
The day I discovered unlicensed use of my photograph
On Wednesday, Laura, whose kayaking business, Sydney by Kayak, I'd guided and taken photographs for, tagged me in an article that made the front page of the Sydney Morning Herald. Render from Zaha Hadid Architects of the Western Sydney Airport On the rendering of the spiffy new Western Sydney Airport was a familiar picture: of three …

Long weekend in Sydney
Our friends Garry and Linh tied the knot last weekend in Sydney. It was the perfect excuse to make the trip back for a visit. Just a long weekend, coming right off the heels from our Greenland vacation. As always, we jumped on the chance to hit the water for a spot of kayaking. Just …
Week back in Sydney
We'd the opportunity to spend a week in Sydney. Work during the day, catch ups with friends over meals in the evening. And on the weekends, we did what we loved best in Sydney - exploring the outdoors. Our original plan to kayak the first Sunday we were back was scuttled due to gusty winds …

My new job is with a company headquartered in Sydney, so I had the good fortune to return for a visit 3 months after leaving. 🙂 One of the first things I did was to schedule in time on the water. On the weekends, I went out paddling on the inner harbour, lousy spring weather …
Fall weekend in Kangaroo Valley
We couldn't have asked for more perfect weather this weekend when the group of 7 of us tripped down to Kangaroo Valley for a spot of kayaking and camping. The skies were clear, the air crisp and cool, and there was not a hint of breeze. A complete opposite of our January experience really. As …
Fall has arrived
After what has seemed like an interminable but welcome summer, fall has arrived in Sydney. This week, the air has taken on a noticeable chill in the mornings when I head down to Lavender Bay to push off for our daily sunrise paddles. This year has flown by.
Easter Weekend on the Water
I take it as a compliment when people ask me what camera I use for my photos. After all, if they didn't like them, they wouldn't have bothered right? Still, there's more to picture taking than a state of the art camera. And this past week, I've had the opportunity to practice what I preach. …
Teaser week in Perth
If anything, these past few days just showed us how much Western Australia has to offer, and what little we've seen of it. Back in Sydney now, but already dreaming of going back and exploring all the other nook and crannies, including Broome, all the way up north in the further reaches of the state. …
