...it's a classic cheese burger, delicious, but small.
Very small actually...so small that I bit my index finger at the first bite.
To excuse my stupidity, I say I was very hungry and the smell was mouthwatering.
All mine. :)
Published by Finch Publishing, an imprint of Simon & Schuster.
It's available in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa at the moment. My publishers are looking to potentially open distribution deals with the UK and US, too. But that will come later (they're tight markets to pull from this little corner of the world!).
It can be purchased, as far as I know, from here, in the meantime.
It was only launched at the end of last month. It is based on my diaries. It has recently been endorsed by the Eating Disorders Foundation of Australia.
I am still a little sensitive about the title and cover. I chose neither.

A type of Crane fly (Toxorhina magna) on a New England aster from last year. An early morning trip meant no posting this AM. Surpirse for tomorrow with a different 'close encounter.'
The hills are looking lovely at the moment with lots of purple heather around. However, the scourge of the Scottish summer was also out in force today - midges! You can see how many are around this grouse, so imagine how many were around me!
This shoot was all about Big crazy WILD hair. Biting handcuffs, applying lipstick like a Rockstar and a little Bad Habit of smoking. Hope you all enjoy. I had fun doing it.

For me this is one of the few photos that comes close to communicating what fly fishing is all about. Sure, fish can be involved, but it's truly a pursuit in which the journey is often more inspiring than the destination. In that respect fishing can be a metaphor for life. To the many dedicated fishermen, fishing is their life.
Let me know if you'd like to join me here this Summer. Here's my preliminary schedule:
Macro of a Pure Black Damselfly sitting on a Nail.
13mm extension tube was coupled with 50mm f/1.8 to get a bit closer than the 50mm permits by default. Could be far more closer if the full set of 3 tubes of 65mm was used. But I wanted a bit more surrounding area and a few out of focus nails along with the main subject.
Monochrome colour tone applied in Photoshop.
Thanks to Randy for trying to stand still for a long exposure ;-) The mosquitoes were biting more than the fish were.
And we thought we had it bad with mosquitoes.. How did they get through that tough armor?
Zoom in if you dare
62 Bird and Water Tower
El Segundo, CA
09-29-19
This dusty (but vintage) 1962 Ford Thunderbird convertible (with a For Sale sign in the window 😉😁) was parked up against the wall at the parking structure where I was shooting the El Segundo Water Tower.
I had to go full 10mm and was standing as far away (maybe a foot) as I could be from the car.
It's almost impossible to "correct" the image using lens correction. I've made the attempt three times. This is the best result. It would be better to have the water tower off slightly to one side or another, but I couldn't get the "corner' of the bullet nosed front end in the shot.
It would have been a LOT better if the owner had parked his car in the middle of the lot!
