I finished my black and white photo a day in 2025 project yesterday.

I only had one close call when I forgot to take a photo but still managed to find one on my phone camera roll that I could use.

It’s a lovely time of year to be walking the streets. Clouds of purple everywhere.

My trip to visit the Blue Mountains was tops.

Mountain Culture brewery put on some great beers and wings.

The walks around the Three Sisters are well worth it.

Sometimes there are pretty things underfoot.

We spent last week in Sydney.

The weather was perfect and it was a lovely time.

The beach walk from Coogee to Bondi is well worth it.

We visited Coral bay in July. It was a lovely escape from winter.

The weather was warm and we managed some reef snorkeling and to spot some fish, turtles, and whales.

Perth in June was cold, dark, and wet.

FNQ in June, on the other hand, was lovely.

It warmed up a bit and then Winter decided to properly turn up.

The days are shortening and the air is getting crisp.

I’m over 100 days into my black & white a day project.

I inevitably end up shooting around the house and neighbourhood most days. This is forcing me to find novel perspectives on things I regularly pass. It’s also making me appreciate the different light over the course of the day.

Autumn is starting to peek its way in. The heat is retreating. Life is grand.

I moved my photography to rays.photos.

The existing feeds and links should hopefully redirect properly.

The last month has been a whirlwind as we’ve moved back to Perth.

I’ve taken photos down in Margaret River and around the old haunts.

Some photos of Brisbane before we move.

I’m taking on a 365 photo challenge this year: capturing at least one black and white photo each day and adding it to my journal.

Clouds at sunset snare me.

K’gari (Fraser Island) is beautiful.

We spent a few days there between Christmas and New Years.

It was the busy season and the island was packed with four wheel drivers. It felt like there were about fifty vehicles parked up for a swim at Eli Creek while we were there. We never felt crowded though, the island is huge.

Views of the new casino.

A bit of Brissy night light.

Some photos I’ve taken while on my walks near home.

I was in Mexico for work a couple of weeks ago and managed to steal away for a little to take some photos around Guadalajara and Tlaquepaque.
