Here is a little peek into my sewing "toolbox" that holds all sorts of goodies for making things.

"Toolbox" was commissioned by the Morundah Bush Entertainment Committee (MBEC), The Morundah Town Improvement Committee (MTIC), and individual members of the Morundah community to commemorate 100 years of both registered and bush picnic horse racing in Morundah.
"Toolbox" was placed here in 2009.
Sculptured by local artist Andrew Whitehead of Urana, this is his first commission piece.
Officially opened by Life Member and President of the MBEC Peter Trengrove on the 28th February 2010.

My head is still spinning from working through David Duchemin 's 60 lessons book. Unfortunately, it looks like that there is no shortcut for being able to make continuously compelling photographs. So, I scaled down my expectations and accepted that this process will be a lifelong journey. In the meantime, I even see this positive, as making photographs will never become boring due to the endless opportunities which you can discover everywhere.
Pragmatically, I structured now David's lessons in GREEN (feel quite comfortable), YELLOW (got an idea what to do) and RED (have hardly any clue, need to dig in deeper). So, don't be surprised I'll share with you my learning curve/experiences in the months to come. And as always, I highly appreciate your constructive discussions/questions about intent, composition, light, moments, improvements and the message of the photograph.
Have a wonderful day and never lose your curiosity about photography.
OK, surely someone would have wanted this toolbox as a Christmas gift back in 2013! With this trip back in time to that year now drawing to a close, here's another link for you: a photo of this Sears in it's post-glory days, taken at the end of January 2013. Who knew* that it would be closed for good by the end of that same year?
*Well actually, a large majority of people in this area kind of had a sneaking suspicion that this Sears wasn't really going to last much longer!
