It's the passion that matters
passion |ˈpaSHən|
noun
strong and barely controllable emotion
Someone once said to me (and I’m paraphrasing here) “I don’t care what you are passionate about, only that you are passionate about it. It’s the passion that matters.”
For some reason this has really stuck with me, and over the years it has encouraged me to share the things I am passionate about, even if th…

As most of my regular readers would know, I’m an unabashed Sci-Fi geek. Dr Who is my ultimate hero and Star Wars-isms are so common place in our house I often refer to my sons as being bi-lingual.
However, what you may not know is I am also heavily involved with and deeply attached to my wonderful fantasy worlds. The words of Tolkien, J.K Rowling, Raymond Feist, Sara Douglass, Elizabeth H…
Taylor Lautner, a weirdo alien flu thingie, and (NOT) equipment envy...
Interested? Then you really should have this guy on your watchlist. Star spotting with the most amazingly hilarious commentaries… seriously whats not to love?
Alaska here I come!
Just don’t hold your breath waiting, coz it’s gonna be just a little while before I get there ;)
Like most people, I too have a bucket list of things I’d like to do before I shuffle off this mortal coil. I’ve even managed to scrub a few off already… like swimming with dolphins, my hands down favourite happy place memory to visit when things are a bit sucky. However…
All of the above
Hello my friends, it’s been a while… but then it’s been a while since I had the energy to write too, but this one has taken me the better part of a week to put together, so I guess I’m making up for it :)
If you are planning on reading to the end of this one, I’d suggest you grab yourself a cuppa or a glass of your favourite cold beverage… Maybe you might want …
Anyone interested?
…. in getting together for a Tassie bubblemeet somewhere up north-ish? At the moment its just me and Lynne going for a walk, which of course will be lovely anyways but you know what they say about it being merrier with a bunch more people we can laugh with (and steal twiggy sticks from hehe)
If you are up for it, give a shout out to Lynne, I’m not organising this one, I’m just …

I’m sure many of you, like myself, have difficulties blowing your own horn. I think for me, especially where photography is concerned, it stems from feeling like a bit of a fraud as a photographer for a long time… in fact it has taken years for me to be able to introduce myself to new people as a “Photographer” without expecting heralds to appear riding crashing lightenin…
Defining moments
A few months ago I heard a piece of music by Eddie Vedder that for some reason struck a very harmonious chord somewhere deep in my soul. It was more than just thinking “wow I love this song, it’s awesome!”, it was (for me at least) perhaps along the lines of what I imagine it would be like seeing a once in five thousand year planetary alignment event… from outerspace̷…
These things I am thankful for, these things and many many more...
Sometimes I find myself getting so caught up in the minutae of the every day, that I develop tunnel vision that blinds me to sheer miracle of life.
And then something will happen that opens my eyes and I remember how many wonderful things I have to be thankful for. At times the tunnel vision has been firmly entrenched for a while, and it takes several somethings to give me a metaphorical smack o…
