30 Jul Friday Night Is Fight Night!
I'm sorry my Uncle Louie isn't alive - I'd have taken him to the Camera Electronic Special Eve Of Photo Live 2018 event and he'd have loved it. Oh, he never took a picture in his life, but he was a great boxing fan*. And...
27 Jul Not Only But Also…
Do we all love the household trade pavilion at the Royal Show? I know I do - you can have the midway rides and the petting zoo - give me the spruikers demonstrating tomato slicers any day. If I miss out on seeing the Miracle...

20 Jul Monstrous Ink
I hope I don't get a lawyer's letter from Pixar over that one...
19 Jul If It No Gonna Go, You Gotta Get Out An’ Push, Man…
Not every car starts first time, every time - nor does it always travel smoothly on every road. The same with cameras - even the newest of the new. Oh, I'm not suggesting that the new Fujifilm X-T100 did not turn on - it popped to...
18 Jul Rival Sisters In The Studio
Normally that headline presages trouble - two dancer sisters or two actress sisters or two duchesses in one studio means that something is going to be broken - but in this case I hoped for better things. The two cameras that I have with the closest...
