Shot from the hip
I wandered around Garema Place in Canberra one November 2006 lunchtime with my little pocket camera shooting randomly from the hip and seeing what I ended up with. I like the spontaneity of this shot. A real candid shot.
Made in Australia
I got on the bus one morning in Canberra in November 2006 to go to work and noticed that the young woman sitting in the seat in front of me appeared to have something tattooed below her neck. Took a while to see it as her hair was in the way but fortunately she was flicking it every so often. I couldn't believe what I was reading. It was a real tattoo, not a stick on one. I got my little pocket camera out and recorded it for posterity.

Sikhs
I entered the lift in Parliament House in Canberra in November 2006 and some Sikh tourists entered as well. I asked it I could take their photos and this is the result.
Shooting hoops
A favourite shot of mine. Taken in Annandale, Sydney in October 2006. Two children playing basketball and a younger kid insouciantly hanging around.
Woman on a motorized vehicle
This is a photo taken of a Woman on a motorized wheelchair, at the Floriade flower show in Canberra in September 2006. I like the colours and also the iconographic t-shirt the other woman is wearing.

Enjoying the tulips
I took this candid shot of two women enjoying the Floriade flower show in Canberra in September 2006. They were posing for photographs and I couldn't resist taking one as well.
Gibraltar Rocks
This is Grace from Shanghai posing atop Gibraltar Rocks, Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve outside Canberra, in September 2006 . A very steep climb to the top but well worth it for the views are spectacular.

Cartoon
My friend Cartoon relaxing at the Jungle Rafts hotel on the River Kwai in western Thailand in August 2006. A beautiful spot.
Curiosity
This is one of my all-time favourite photos. I love it. The expression on the face of the schoolgirl turning around to have a look really makes it. The photo was taken at the Museum at Ayutthaya in Thailand in August 2006. There was a large group of schoolchildren who were fascinated by me. I eventually shooed them off but we saw them again later on all lined up to go into another building and this was when I took this picture.
Workmen
Two workmen at Victoria Dock, London, early one very overcast August morning in 2006. I like the reflected colours in this photo.

Resplendent in pink

Spot the birdie

This photo was taken on the roof of the Australian Parliament building in Canberra, Australia, in January 2006. I like this photo because of the contrasts and the colours.

Rubbish dreams
I was really surprised when I came across this rubbish removal truck in Randwick, Sydney and saw the beautiful picture on it. Contrasts nicely with the rust on the vehicle. This photo was taken in June 2008.
