Life

Not a lot of posts or action on my twitch stream lately (www.twitch.tv/davidtheaussie) … due to the end of school year business and other such things getting in the way of photography. However, that’s an inevitable part of life and the only way is to look forward –> summer is coming!!

I have a few plans. Firstly I have been working on photos and adding images from Tibet, Nepal, Myanmar, China and Thailand. I feel like it’s going to take a long time to get out of Asia as a retrospective photographer … but it’ll happen eventually.

To summer, I have plans to explore Liverpool for three days. I’m planning a Beatles themed tour to see some of the sights I’ve long held off catching. I also plan to visit Llandudno, Devon, maybe Blackpool and a few other places. Followed by a break to Thailand in October (I’m going to try and get my hands on an under water camera for the memes!).

Big plans … lots of Sunday photography streams … looking forward to the summer and trying to keep myself motivated. Also got my eye on scanning some older film, buying a Leica digital and maybe toying with film shooting and developing at home.

Stay tuned *fingers crossed* things will get exciting!

This is the first of (hopefully) many posts … a new blog as a way to get myself back into photography, get active, get shooting and get better at my favourite craft. I’ve been messing around with various site platforms and, at least for now, I’ve settled with wordpress. I’m not entirely happy with it, but it’s going to have to do for now. I wanted to run a gallery specific software, but I realised that most don’t allow comments, or have a ‘blog’ function, which means I can’t occasionally post discussions about where I am and what I’m doing.

Who am I? I’m David … an Aussie! 🙂 But more importantly is that I’ve been a photographer for 30+ years and have traveled around the world having fun, causing mayhem and taking photos. I’ve lived in Australia, South Korea, Egypt and England. I’ve been settled in England for a while so that my family would have more stability, but my feet are itchy and I’m keen to get moving again. For now, that will be short stints checking out this merry, muddy island called Great Britain … but soon it’ll be a little further and my ‘country count’ will hopefully start ticking up again. FYI, my country count is currently 55 and I’m looking to keep steadily increasing that number.
