Shooting James Bond’s Aston Martin DBS
It isn’t too often you get the chance to see, let alone shoot, a car that was used in one of the most iconic movie franchises in history. The car is a 1969 Aston Marin DBS and the film was “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” released in 1969. There were two cars used for the […]
A-League – Melbourne Derby – Rematch
Pitch incursions, arrests, bans and club sanctions – Melbourne City reigns If you follow the A-League in Australia, you would no doubt know all about the now famous pitch incursion during the A-League Men’s Derby match between Melbourne City and Melbourne Victory on the 17th December last year. It was amid the Australian Professional Leagues’ […]
My Facebook and Instagram accounts were hacked, and now they’re gone
My Facebook Account was hacked and thousands spent on Ads.
In the early hours of Saturday the 20th of August, some basement dwelling amoeba successfully hacked into my Facebook account.
Not wasting any time, they changed my password, added two factor authentication, and made themselves the admin for my Facebook business account.
Shooting The Wallabies v France Test Rugby Match
After shooting the A-League Grand Final a couple of weeks ago, along with the endless lockdown in Melbourne I had expected some time off for a little while.
NRL is pretty much being played interstate, Formula 1 and the MotoGP has been cancelled thanks to the greatness of our inept politicians determined to make the cure for COVID worse than the disease.
Spotlight on Speed Media’s photographer Dave Hewison
Speed Media published a short bio on me on their website last week. I decided to republish it on my blog, but you can find the original post here.
As a kid, I was obsessed with photography and after much groveling I talked my dad into buying me my first SLR camera which was a Yashica FX-3. With that camera, I joined my schools AV club where I learnt to shoot, process film, make prints and that was basically my life until riding motorcycles took over.

Does your DELL XPS 15 become unusable when it heats up?
Does your DELL XPS 15 become unusable when it heats up? This is a long post and very much off topic for this blog but this is something that has been irritating me for years. It will be of no interest to most here but if you happen to own this laptop, it may save […]
Melbourne At Night Under COVID-19 Curfew
So what does a city under curfew look like? Well if you’re not a working photographer, I wouldn’t suggest wandering into the CBD to find out. I was stopped by police 4 times in a three hour period. I had to show ID my work permit and all was fine but if I didn’t have my permit, I would have been fined $1,600 each time.
Visiting Melbourne’s Mobile Coronavirus Testing Sites
In today’s blog post I wanted to talk about something entirely unrelated to sport or photography. I’m currently half way through writing a blog about the best data backup strategy for photographers, or really anyone with critical data, but lets be honest, it’s a dry subject and not all that interesting. So I’ve put a pause on that one for now because I think there’s a special group of people that deserve our gratitude.
Who’s Missing Sport?
I sure am.
It’s been a surreal time these last few months in Australia, not to mention the rest of the world where in many places the virus has hit much harder and lockdowns more severe. My heart goes out to all those affected.
