A Fire Inside

I found this derelict old truck just around the corner from where I used to live. The late afternoon sun was flooding through the windscreen and making the rusted out mirror look like embers. (It looked a lot redder on my screen).

Developing an Eye

After many years of developing my "ear", I'm now learning to develop my "eye". I'm having fun with the photography and especially with Photoshop Elements. I'm very new to the whole thing, but here are a few early creations...

This is East Perth Power Station early in the evening...

...and from the other side...

Perth with angry skies. This is NOT our usual weather, but it makes for an expressive picture!
And something dreamy and soft to finish up. Someone very kindly gave a beautiful bunch of roses to Ali recently (unfortunately it wasn't me!).

A Strange Feeling

On Monday morning I woke up knowing that I didn't have to do anything! It was a strange feeling and I did feel a bit lost for part of the day...
I spent a couple of hours out with my camera just taking my time and trying to get a few shots. This was one of them...
I'll be trying to get the hang of relaxing over the next few weeks, but I think a bit of photography will help with that. I really enjoy it but it's not particularly taxing.

Bluesy and Cruisy!

Well, the Sunday Sesh went well. Thanks to Jess who took a few photos on the night, but the light wasn't very helpful.

I did make a recording of the set which actually came out better than I thought it might. I think we were a little aware of the record button being on, and so were a little less relaxed than we might have been otherwise.

Thanks everyone who stayed around! We had a fun night.

Sunday Session

I'll be playing a live set this Sunday night at Riverview Church's weekly "Sunday Sesh". It'll be a basic four piece band doing a mix of my own songs and a few covers. A couple of John Mayer songs, a classic that Ray Charles made great (Georgia), and some of my more funky/bluesy tunes from over the years. Bluesy and cruisy! The band is Paul Hardy on drums, Billy Muchtar on Bass, Luke Griffin on guitar and myself. Great band! I'm very much looking forward to it. Hope to see you there. (Start time around 7:45pm.)
