Christmas shopping out on hold for a moment as this gem fell into my hands.

I’m always curious as to why someone blocks me. I have an opinion, but I’m usually careful to provide balanced context.

I heard this great Canadian band on KEXP, streamed from Seattle. I have now purchased their entire Bandcamp catalogue.
They do not disappoint!

It’s interesting that Bluesky will enforce restrictions if you can’t prove you’re over 16, yet Reddit will only enforce restrictions when you are verified to be under 16.
Interesting choices

I have two great personal loves (not people): photography and music.
My love for photography is in the act of creation.
My love for music is in the act of experience.
Only music can heighten an experience for me, which is why I love it more.
I found these neglected gems in my record collection.

I dropped in to the Lennon Wells album launch at Altar in Hobart. Brilliant performance by the whole band.

Really thrilled to have a sit-down with Ben Wells yesterday, for a new project. We talked about the community surrounding his band, Lennon Wells, his bar, Grinners Dive Bar, and pretty much everything else.

Courtney Barnett and Sarah Blasko
Here’s a comparison between a phone shot (RAW and machine adjustment) and Capture One editing by me.

Pure marketing with no basis of truth. #chatgpt has been proven to lie for approval. And it scrapes misinformation along with real information and then blends it like a new “expert” - you know the experts who have just learned about a thing.

Well this was ten kinds of awesome!
Triple J 50th in Hobart with Gordon’s Grandson, Emily Warrumara, Luca Brasi and Courtney Barnett. AND Sarah fucking Blasko!

I finally got around to catching the massive aurora storm.
Am I too late?
November 12, 2025 at 7:08 PM
Probably the biggest aurora of the year and I’m dealing with family dramas.

My mates in Gold Light District are absolutely killing it after only a few gigs.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

I caught Shirina’s performance one night in Sydney recently. Video out tonight.

For the photographers out there: NiSi are having a Halloween sale, with up to 99% off.
It’s likely those extreme savings are gone now, but there are still amazing bargains on quality gear.
35% off Athena lenses is not to be sneezed at either!

I had some fun running around Sydney like a mad chook taking photos.

The underbelly of Sydney Harbour Bridge.

I couldn't resist posting this whilst editing photos for an upcoming video.

Just a little opinion piece

Everything is boring - It’s all getting a little too familiar.

Does Instagram suddenly have to pay to licence music? It seems all the good music is gone.

Card only.
But we will also add a charge for using said card.

YouTube has been pushing my macro-related videos lately, which has been great!
However, YouTube seems to think all my videos should be pushed to macro-lovers, and that is just not working.
So I’ve made the unconventional decision to delist those macro videos.
