images of sydney

To give you an idea of the types of things I photograph, here are a few images I've captured nearby (Sydney, Australia). As you can see, it's a beautiful place.

For the full gallery, swing by SmugMug.

watching

I've listened to and watched a number of podcasts over the years, covering a great range of topics. One of my favourites is Ted Forbes' 'The Art of Photography' - wonderful show.

To give you an idea :

Other Podcasts I Like :

• the complete picture

• martin bailey photography

Over to you : what are you watching/listening to these days?

keywords

I photograph a number of Australia's heritage sites - particularly those covering the first century or so of European occupation. To get an idea of the exact locations & names covered, head over to the Keywords page on my SmugMug site.

community

I use Twitter quite a lot myself, both to research (and share) my own work and to see what everyone else is doing. If you tweet a lot about Photography, Creativity or Australian Heritage, let me know.

SmugMug

This is the main photo-sharing service I use, and is easily my favourite (full review here). Whether you're looking to purchase prints, check out my portfolio or set up your own site, SmugMug's ideal.

Clickbank

This is a large collection of downloadable books & courses (think of it as an online shopping mall), and I use it frequently. Each time a friend of mine asks what I think of their new offering, or someone points me to a specific book/course I might find interesting.

(And if you'd like to do that yourself, drop me a line).

Apple TV

I love this thing.

Although it's primarily a way to enjoy your iTunes library on a big screen (think movies on your TV), it's also a great way to share your photos with friends and family. You can either show the photos (again, on your TV) that are stored on a Macbook/iPhone/iPad, or view the ones stored in Photos.

Either way, it's a beautiful way to share them.
