Melbourne Jail Ceiling








This is Melbourne Jail taken a while back. Fish eye view can add some interest to the frame.

Pinnacles National Park, Perth


The white sand in the distance gave the look of snow. Quite a view.

Reeds Lookout at Grampians National Park



Freezing. Cold. Windy. There was this spot of light shining on the hills. It looks like light from heaven.

Inside Melbourne Jail


Melbourne Jail is a great place to snap photo. This is taken with a fish eye lens tilting upwards to reduce the distortion.

Cafe atmosphere


This kind of cafe atmosphere is what makes suburban Melbourne Cafe attractive - Cafe culture. f1.2 bokeh gave this sense of atmosphere. Maybe my severe myopia gave me this kind of depth of view most of the time.

Pisa Tower, Italy


This is developed from a forgotten film left in my storage cabinet. The old lovely E-6 quality image from Provia 400

Love this grain feel.

Yarra River, South Bank


This was an image taken a few years ago. Quite a nice view with these beetle looking artifacts.

Jemma - my first paid shoot in 2002


So nostalgic about this shoot. This was my first paid shoot and it ended up on a local chain store newsletter. A lot of blown highlights and ugly distracting background. But it reminds me the try hard I was once to be

Leonid Photos


I found these old photos of Leonid. Funny in the medical school days.


He was putting up that smile for a shot. Nothing was natural for him.


Atypical seizure...


That was green tea bread from Top Bread Shop which is now close to bankruptcy...

















Black and white photo of Joel


This is a black and white photo of Joel. He got some attitude when we dined somewhere in the city I think.

Blair - breakfast daily at New Castle UK


This is where I have breakfast daily. Good theme and feeling in the area.

The butter makes me reflux a lot though.

Coffee time


A little twist to image. In Brunswick. Lucky I did not get robbed or kicked. Same casual people.

The rear wall of Alnwick castle


Inside this wall, there is a tiny museum storing old coins and weaponry. Northumberland UK.

Alnwick Castle


Alnwick Castle is a nice pleasant place to visit. This castle is filmed in Harry Potter and Robin Hood movie.

Pollies roast at Granger market at Northumberland street


This Granger market takes place on the weekends. This is what the local Northumberland residents call "rare breed" pig. 

Quite tasty - juicy and tender. With local apple sauce and herbal mix.
At Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.




Cathedral at Grey Street


Local cathedral. A nice walk along Grey Street.

Roof top of Castle Keep


Never ending climb ...





The view was rather pleasant












Castle Keep of North - At Newcastle upon Tyne


Castle keep is a place kids go to in Newcastle. The place is only 5 min walk from my hotel which is named after an Earl Grey apparently.
Terrible fringing with my crappy camera which was brought along for its light weight.
This castle is 2000 years old apparently. Quite incredible to come to think of these rocks surviving this long.


The stairs to the roof was a little similar to the experience of rock climbing. 


4 pounds for the entry fee


King's chamber - quite small and sad looking. I would prefer my hotel room.


The great hall - where the king has his meetings... The top part has a ring of corridor for archers to stand by looking down into the centre of the hall ...

Sand Dune at Mungo Lake


Directional lighting makes good contrast. Though this is a plain picture, it has interesting pattern.

"Great Wall of China" in Mungo Lake


This is Great Wall of China from Mungo Lake. Quite weird that this view did not remind me of anything that resembled a wall or Chinese heritage at all...
The typical short budget excuse has blocked off any entry to get a closer look at the spot!

Red Look Out at Mungo National Park




I love the look. Though there were so many flies trying to get into my lung, the place was well worth the visit.
