Kyoto Photo Galleries
July 1st, 2007


I have finally published a selection of the photographs I took in Kyoto back in 2002. Shao Ping and I attended her sister’s wedding. Shao Chi married Roy and they now live in Los Angeles. It was Autumn in Japan at the time and the colours are quite amazing.

Blast from the past…
July 1st, 2007


I have been sorting through old photographs and I came across a few shots I captured at a Singapore Mac Meetup. It was held on the 9th November 2002 at the Burger King, Millenia Walk. We all had a quite a lively night. All of the usual suspects were there. Siva uploaded some photographs of the evening as well

Storms across the Illawarra
July 1st, 2007


A severe low pressure weather system during the days from the 8th June through to the 12th June brought heavy winds, flooding rains and big seas to NSW. On the 9th and 10th June Shao Ping and I drove to Wollongong Harbour and took a number of photographs of the heavy seas battering the coast. We walked across to the breakwater and took a number of images showing the waves crashing across the rock wall and soaking the spectators.

Technology tips
July 1st, 2007

I have wanted to do this for some time and at last my little project has a beginning. I have created technology tip sheets in the past and with this project I plan to bring them altogether in a single place. Anyway, the first few tips deal with finding files, searching the Internet and creating slideshows. Explore the tips here.

Festival of the Hungry Ghosts
July 1st, 2007


I have been electronically rummaging through all my old digital photographs and created a few new galleries for the web site. There are photographs of the Singaporean CBD taken on an impossibly clear day as well as shots taken at Pulau Ubin, Jurong Bird Park, Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and Chinatown ~ back in 2000.

There are two other quite different galleries… one is of the Thai pop singing duo “China Dolls”. I had gone to Bukit Panjang Shopping plaza to get a haircut and the duo were making a publicity appearance so I took some photographs of the performance and the crowd that had come to see them. Finally there is some photographs of my wife Shao Ping making offerings down by the void deck of our flat in Choa Chu Kang during the Festival of the Hungry Ghosts. I like those photographs in particular.
