Checked my email this morning and got a very nice surprise when reading the Calumet Photographic e-newsletter, at the bottom in the ‘Photo of the week’ section was an image I thought looked familiar, upon a second look I realised that they had selected my image of ‘Ploughed Fields’ taken in Lincolnshire a few weeks ago as their photo of the week! It’s also right there at the bottom of their website as well. Very nice surprise! Thank you Calumet.
Just a quick update to let people know I have added a few new pieces to the Design Archive and Photos of an Everyday Life. There are a couple of new logos and website designs in the archive and some new photos in the Everyday Life gallery to check out.
Also it is only 28 more days until I leave London and just over a month until I arrive back in Adelaide, Australia. If anyone knows of any jobs, preferably permanent or freelance graphic design then please contact me and let me know!

I was lucky enough to spend some time with family up in Lincolnshire over the weekend just gone and I took my camera with me.
Between being used as a climbing frame and being bugged by my little cousins I managed to get some really nice shots, which to me sum up very much the mood and relaxed atmosphere of the place. It’s such a nice escape from the noise and constant pressure of London… even with the constant chit chat of little cousins in my ear!
As time draws closer of a departure from London back to Australia I have begun a personal project to try and document bits and pieces of my life in London. I’ve decided to upload some of these images deciding to call the project “Photos of an Everyday Life”.
Check out the photos here.
This series of on-going photos are an experiment in identity – the identity of my life here in London, living in an old run-down 1960’s house in Golders Green getting by on what I have. I am trying to focus on the small things that describe to me what living here means as a whole. Looking at the small scale and small details to try and describe the bigger picture.
Ahh summer, the weather is warm and balmy, the skies are blue and outside is where you want to be. It was the perfect day yesterday, a bbq was in order. Invite round some friends, head to the supermarket for some food and charcoal and light the bbq – perfect.
Now as everyone knows the coals can’t be cooked on for at least an hour after lighting so we sat around, had a few beers, chatted and listened to music, before we knew it the coals were red hot and ready to cook on. As soon as the fish hit the grill the clouds rolled in, but you expect a few clouds in the evening, right?
Nothing more than a few clouds to break up the clear skies, nothing to worry about… Five mins later the fish was looking ace had been expertly flipped, the spuds were rocking and the capsicum was grilling to perfection filling the air with their sweet aroma and the lightning was flashing around us. Huh, wait a minute… what? Lightning? Next thing we knew we were running for the umbrellas to cover the bbq like the ground team at the cricket run for the covers to cover the pitch. Thus was our Thursday evening bbq, cloudy, then thundery followed by soaking wet but still very fun and very tasty!
More photos can be found in the newly updated photographs section of my website!
