... 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 …
Back on the Sydney Harbour
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 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. …
Best Sunrise of 2018 to Date on the Sydney Harbor
We've not been able to go out on the water the past few days, no thanks to gusty winds of up to 45 km/h. While it was luxurious to be able to sleep in, it felt really sweet to be back out on the water this morning. And what a sunrise to be greeted with …

Ringing in 2018
Huge huge thanks to Richard and Sandy for inviting us over to their place to catch the pyrotechnics display over Sydney last night! They have a stupendous view, not just of the iconic Opera House and Sydney Harbor Bridge, but also of the length of the Sydney Harbor, packed with sailboats anchored all along the …
