On Easter Monday, it might have been a good idea to talk about Easter eggs rather than truffles, but eggs are sought by innocent children, while finding the buried truffles is a hog’s job. So, as we are talking about me, it has to be truffles…:-) This is how this post came […]

Monday. Post day. First up, some news: Gizmodo says Nikon Tries to Right the Sinking Ship With a Stupid Swarovski Replica I don’t get it either. The company seems to have lost the mainstream plot, has little or nothing new to offer, meanwhile loyal customers are wondering where they can get the […]

…to this Two weekends ago, we sat in our hotel in London, waiting for a phone call that thankfully, never came. Our house sitter had rung earlier in the day to tell us that a runaway veld (bush) fire and the seasonal southeasterly wind had teamed-up to produce a conflagration that was […]

I promised myself I’d write a grumble-free Monday Post this week. Twelve words in and I’m doing OK so far… First up – one good reason for being a Fuji shooter – kaizen – according to Wikipedia; activities that continuously improve all functions and involve all employees from the CEO to the assembly […]

My pet rant over recent years has been against Sony. Sony got me into the mirrorless world with the wonderful NEX-5n. That and tiny Zeiss and Voigtlander lenses reinvented the way I traveled with cameras. Right up to the point where, in the middle of a remote West Australian national park, the damn thing […]

Over the past few days, we’ve been experiencing weather that lesser men would call … entertaining. Not me, though. Instead of fretting, I’ve been thinking. All that talk about the GFX, you know … It got me itching to spend all that money I don’t have. And then it hit me : What […]
