3 reasons I love night photography
I discovered my love for the craft of photography last year. I wanted to be a better photographer because I go overseas annually. I’ve mentioned here before that only one in ten of my photos from my Vietnam trip in 2010 were what I’d call any good, so I wanted to improve. I bought a
Exhibitionist
Quite a few friends and acquaintances are having – or planning – exhibitions of their work lately, and I admit that I am slightly green with envy because it is something that I would like to do.

Why blogging scares the pants off me
One of the best things about NaNoWriMo and NaNoBloPoMo is that I am blogging again. I am posting something new just about every day. But blogging scares the pants off me. It’s scary to put your writing out there on such an immediate (on so many levels) and global platform. Here’s why: What if I
“I’d like you to edit my book…”
I am receiving emails like this on an increasingly regular basis. And I get it. Publishing your work has never been easier and it’s relatively cheap – if not free – to do so, especially if one goes down the eBook path. Amazon allows you to create your own eBook and distribute it. All you
