Photo Tours and Workshops

During May, I have participated in two workshops run by a Melbourne based professional landscape photographer, Mark Gray. I wanted to hone my picture taking skills before heading off on my trip to the Arctic and I am very happy with the amount that I learnt and the photos that I took.

On both days, Mark took a small group of six people to some very scenic spots and gave us ample time to photograph and experiment with our technique. His technical sessions were good and his personal coaching helped me to improve my skills.

We spent one day in the Dandenongs taking photos of autumn colours and the second day at various places around Melbourne.

Coffee Encounters

One of my enduring memories of my service in Vietnam is that of being in a convoy way out in the boondocks resupplying a forward operation. There in the middle of nowhere, and in a potentially dangerous location, was an Australian Salvation Army Officer and his Landrover ready to serve us a cup of hot […]

Over the Haast Pass to NZ’s West Coast

We had about 275 kilometres to travel today but we were not rushed and today’s drive felt very comfortable and relaxed. Perhaps it was the coffee in Wanaka that we waited 20 minutes to get. The young barista in the cafe was working hard and she had our coffees up as fast as she could […]
