2020 Vision | Life & Death
2020-08-16 17:26:11 UTC
This is what I am present to. The impermanence of it all. I am in a perpetual state of melancholy. You all know why. She is worth it. Everyday, she is worth every distressing emotion I feel when I look into her eyes. She still smiles with joy. Her passion…

2020 Vision | Lockdown & Life
2020-07-03 19:22:16 UTC
Life continues in spite of the Lockdown. I have seen more people on Bicycles than ever. The Construction Workers are feeling it - tired, exhausted. They are coming towards the end of a long job. The new building looks good. They have done a good job. My whole neighbourhood is…

2020 Vision | The Heart of The Moment
2020-07-01 21:50:49 UTC
Moments. Fleeting. Expressive….and illusive Lately, I missed a few. My mind has been preoccupied. I wear my camera everywhere…this is not negotiable The expression of life is everywhere. That is the heart of the matter. The heart in the moment. Thanks for reading. X

2020 Vision | Oxford Street Lockdown
2020-05-04 12:22:00 UTC
I needed to get out and walk. Oxford Street called me. Empty Carriage. Spooky Tunnels. Not a soul in sight. This is the first time I have walked through this station without bumping into anyone. The light at the end of the Tunnel led me to a place I had…

Present Moment Living

This Pandemic has giving me impetus to go through my Archive. I know for a fact I have clocked over 10,000 images. Henri Cartier suggested our first 10,000 would be our worst. It’s astonishing to think this phrase preceded Malcolm Gladwells 10,000 hours of practice by several decades. Practicing comes…

Chasing Life
2020-04-18 11:02:45 UTC
This little fella gave me a solid work out this morning. Caught sight of him and moved in slowly to create the image above. A perfect moment…and then… Off he went up into the trees. I went after him. Xpro2 paired with the XF18-135mm gave me hope of creating a…

East Coast Journal | Day 2
2018-11-03 22:27:32 UTC
Early start today. Breakfast shortly, not before my practice Drill. Caught up with some old friends last night. Great to see Darryl Harris again with Genii Editor Richard Kaufman. The gentleman in white is a big hero of mine from when I was a boy, that is Martial Arts Master…

Self Portrait
2018-10-04 23:14:46 UTC
Gritty. Somewhat dark. Shades of melancholy. That’s my world right now. A time for regeneration. Chaotic destruction required for the rebuilding to begin. Finding a sanctuary for peace and contemplation has been a blessing. Out of the ashes, The Phoenix has rising.🙏🏾 In spite of things, life today reminded me…

Weekly Project | Life At 50
2018-09-09 15:50:26 UTC
The title is a little misleading. Life at 50 is a continuation of my project An Expression of Life. The difference here is all images will be created with the 50mm f2. This Lens will get a comprehensive work out this week. This Lens on The Xpro2 functions as a…

An Expression of Life Day 2
2018-08-30 16:16:16 UTC
I was out last night and fortunately I had my Camera with me. I met up with a friend at The Renaissance Hotel and caught site of this glorious staircase. It fits my project because whoever designed this saw it in their mind and then created it. My feelings exploded…

My New Project | An Expression of Life
2018-08-29 16:13:30 UTC
This week, my focus is on Life in all its forms and expressions. My arms are open wide - its all about me, seeing, feeling and being present to Life. This image spoke to me. I see it everyday and yet, today, I felt differently, simply because of the context…

Multiple Layers of Learning
2018-07-21 14:23:46 UTC
One of the great missions in life is the creation of meaning. Viktor Frankle wrote a book about this. My life has seen me ebb and flow between searching, experiencing frustration, feeling at peace and joyful on this path toward fulfilment. I am constantly enquiringly into the purpose and meaning…
