My Year, in Prattling and Photos. Top Story - January 2026.
It's been a year since... last year. Ironically, it seems I've found myself a new tradition of getting sick during the New Year holidays. At least, this year (that is, this inter-year period remarkable for its shiny decorations in the streets and houses, and closed supermarkets and pretty much everything), I'm doubtlessly doing better: I've managed to come visit my friends in Germany for Christmas (which I failed to do last year) and—after having some good quality time eating machanka, playing Munchkin and swinging machetes (the last one obviously crept into this checklist only for the sake of the phonological form)—I came back home via proverbial Deutche Bahn and probably less known Schweizerische Bundesbahnen, my body hosting a family of viruses, virions and who knows what other tiny critters somewhere inside my chest.

My Winter Wonderland. Top Story - January 2025.
I love snow. I've come to learn that it's not a popular opinion among adults in my part of the world. And I do understand why. It causes a lot of problems: slick roads, downed power lines, roof damages. It also slows everything down. But I think I rather appreciate that part. I also think it's beautiful. I'm of the mindset that if it's going to be freezing outside it might as well look pretty.

The Pounds' Sterling. Top Story - January 2025.
This is the last picture I took of my mom before the doctors started playing Mrs. Potato Head with her through brain surgeries and radiation that killed everything except, her. That’s why it's on my childless cat lady fridge as one of my favorite moments, even though we had many, many favorite moments since that picture.

Take a hike!. Top Story - January 2025.
A few brief years ago our merry group set off to climb a ‘mountain’. Tabletop Mountain — in S.E. Queensland — is no Everest, but it was challenge enough for us. Spring’s searing sun was already high when we abandoned our cars at its base. As the track was neither marked nor maintained, we were grateful to a chirpy, fit teenager climbing with us. Having completed the hike on a previous occasion, she agilely scampered up the incline, calling encouragement down to us. We would have been clueless without her guidance.

The Magic of a Big Mound of Dirt. Runner-Up in Through the Lens Challenge. Top Story - August 2024.
My stomach is tight. I haven't done this in a while. I light my first joint and fiddle with my camera even though it's already set up the way I like it. I ask the model about her day. The model is a friend of a friend. Her skin glows. She walks with a sense of coiled and casual power. She both does and doesn't know how beautiful she is. Her hair falls in soft curls. The white, linen dress she chose for our photoshoot tangles with her ankles in the wind. We slow down and scope out our first location: a tree next to the old Hooters of our hometown downtown.

When Your Wedding Day Becomes a Story Worth Reliving
Why Wedding Memories Deserve More Than a Camera Roll A wedding day can feel like a collection of small moments happening all at once. There is the excitement of getting ready, the nervous anticipation before the ceremony, the first time you see each other dressed for the occasion, the laughter shared with family, and the celebrations that continue long after the formalities are over.

When a Portrait Finds Its Voice: A Practical Guide to Talking-Photo Storytelling
When a Portrait Finds Its Voice: A Practical Guide to Talking-Photo Storytelling Archives, museums, schools, and family historians hold thousands of portraits with meaningful stories behind them. A photograph can preserve a face and a moment, but audiences may still need help understanding why that moment matters. Talking-photo technology offers a new format: a still portrait can introduce a person, narrate a short memory, or guide viewers through historical context.

Sky on Fire
There is a very particular kind of stillness that happens right before the sun disappears, when everyone around you slows down without quite realising why, and cameras suddenly appear from pockets and bags. For a few minutes, an entire crowd of strangers stops being strangers and watches the same sky together. I have chased that stillness across three very different places this year: a mosque courtyard filling with worshippers and tourists at once, the old sandstone walls of a fort that has watched a few hundred sunsets longer than I have been alive, and the open, empty horizon of an ocean with nothing between me and the sun going down. None of these moments was planned as a photoshoot in the traditional sense. I just kept noticing that whenever the light turned gold, I stopped whatever I was doing and reached for my camera, and somewhere along the way that habit turned into the closest thing I have to a personal ritual.

How to Photograph Glass Display Cases Without Getting Reflections and Glare
Some photos you plan. Some photos plan you. I did not plan to photograph my own face that afternoon. And yet, there I was, at the National Museum of Scotland, in front of a small silver brooch that had clearly been minding its own business under glass for a very long time — and my camera, ever the comedian, handed me a portrait of myself instead.

Photography during pre-lunch hits different, you know?
Photography during prelunch hits different, you know? For me, prelunch is that sweet spot — around 11:30 to 12:30 — when the kitchen light is still soft but bright, and everything looks a little more alive. I usually pull out whatever I’m cooking, set it down without overthinking it, and snap a few pics before the first bite.

How to Photograph Museum Architecture and Interiors Like a Pro
I was standing in the middle of a museum rotunda, neck craned all the way back, spinning slowly in a circle like a man who had lost something on the ceiling. Which, in a way, I had. A shot. The right shot. My uncle stood a few feet away, watching me spin, and said nothing for a solid minute before finally offering, “You look like you’re trying to summon something.”

Flickr of Life
I was always on the periphery of photography. Never quite in it. On the edge, looking in. I loved taking pictures, but I would never have called myself a photographer. Shutter shy and maybe with some aperture apathy. Camera curious, perhaps. But fascinated with the idea that a thing in your hand can immortalize what you briefly see in your eye, to share it with others.
