An update on my Facebook Experience After Being Hacked
Facebook are an abhorrent, rectum of a company with customer service resembling a festering, fly blown corpse and a user experience tantamount to severe a case of irritable bowel syndrome.

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.
Shooting the 2021 Port Phillip Women’s Championship Series for Australian Sailing.
I got back on the water to shoot yacht racing again!
A couple of years ago I covered the Melbourne to Hobart Yacht Race and the Winter Series for the amazing team over at the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria where together we won the Sports Promotion Award from Australian Sailing for Best Social Media.
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.
Why I Prefer Back Button Focus
Back button focus essentially gives you the best of both single and continuous AF modes, at virtually the same time. All you need to do is have your camera constantly set in continuous AF mode. Simply press and release the back focus button to focus on a still subject (and recompose as desired) or press and hold to track movement, releasing only if your subject stops moving.
