  • #Prompt, Day 28.

    Ringo’s morning message…

    A small plush avocado smilie face resting in an cat’s empty bowl… a message of sorts.

  • #Support, Day 27.

    The local flying fox colony doing what they do.

    Gumtrees against a cloudy sky, the bright daylight casting the scene as if it were black and white. Dotted throughout the trees a colony of flying foxes.

    Still my favourite.

  • #Spice, Day 25.

    This one didn’t really work…

    I was going for Martian sunrise over cayenne pepper, but trying to shoot macro with a phone through a small glass bottle gave rise to some spicy language instead.

  • #Court, Day 24.

    Street art at the local handball court.

    Looking at ground level along the yellow dividing line of an outdoor handball court. The line leads into the distance, terminating at a free standing brick wall covered in street art depicting a crazy looking rabbit and a tophat wearing cigarette smoking angry emoji face. Gumtrees flank the wall in the distance.

  • #Chance, Day 23.

    Last time I was in Sicily, Stromboli erupted the day after we moved from Lipari to Favignana.

    A calm blue ocean stretches to the horizon where clouds obscure the crater of Stromboli.

  • #Insect, Day 22.

    Comin’ in hot.

    A honey bee coming in to land on some Lillies of the Nile.

  • #Tiny, Day 21.

    The tiny details of everyday objects…

    Gwoya Tjungurrayi was a Warlpiri man and survivor of the Coniston Massacre, the last documented massacre of Aboriginal people in Australia.

    A close up of a small gold Australian $2 coin, an artist’s impression of Aboriginal man, Gwoya Tjungurrayi, stares proudly.

  • #Analog, Day 19.

    Warming up my old Gibson Super Goldtone.

    Looking down through the vent opening on the top of a tube amplifier, four vacuum tubes glow red hot.
    → 5:31 PM, Mar 19
  • #Portico, Day 18.

    A long portico framed by stone columns stretches into the distance, sunlight streaming through the columns creating stark shadows down its length.
    → 8:20 PM, Mar 18
  • #Early, Day 17.

    A closeup of the spiked leaf of an agave, dew drops glistening in the morning light.
    → 8:55 PM, Mar 17
  • #Road, Day 16.

    We’re on a road to nowhere.

    A eucalypt tree lies broken across an outback road, the black bitumen and double white lines disappearing into the branches strewn about. Dirt, native grass trees, and dry eucalypts line the road.
    → 4:59 PM, Mar 16
  • #Patience, Day 15.

    A closeup of glossy white piggy bank decorated with dark paint spatters and smiling as it stands on a dark wooden beside table, backlit by a small lamp.

  • #Horizon, Day 14.

    Shorncliffe Pier, the largest timber pier in Brisbane, has been here in one form or another since 1879. It was last refurbished in 2016.

    I like to work here occasionally.

    A beautiful clear day, with a bright blue sky. An old wooden pier, with light decking and faded white railings, and lined with old colonial street lamps stretches out toward the horizon, and into the blue green coastal waters. A small gazebo decorating its end sits on the horizon line.

  • #Connection, Day 13.

    These old masks from Papua New Guinea once adorned the walls at my grandparents’ house in Cairns. They remind me of childhood and rain.

    A close up of the carved eye sockets of an old wooden ceremonial mask. A bone cross piece slices through its nose, held firm by carved wooden “shells”.&10;&10;Smaller companions hang behind it, staring.

  • #Shiny, Day 12.

    A closeup of a reflective car windscreen shade.
    → 1:46 PM, Mar 12
  • #Gimcrack, Day 11.

    I’d never heard of “gimcrack” before, but my family has its own word for “knick knack”, made up by my Nan when she was young.

    Doogie.

    Think Boogie Woogie like The Andrews Sisters.

    I’m not sure they’re 100% analogous, but it made me smile to think of my Nan.

    A Lego Brickheadz Nutcracker stairs wistfully into the distance.

  • #Ritual, Day 10.

    We all have our rituals.

  • #Together, Day 9.

    Frequent visitors to Point Lookout on North Stradbroke Island.

    Minjerribah, the traditional name of the island, is home to the Nunukul and Gorenpul clans of the Quandamooka people.

    Eastern Grey Kangaroos relaxing on a grassy bluff overlooking the ocean. A joey rests in its mother's pouch while she surveys the scene. Behind them another grazes on the rich grass.

  • #Walk, Day 8.

    Stay on the path…

    A leaf covered path leading into the distance through Australian bushland.

  • #Whole, Day 7.

    Ringo’s favourite victim is poor old Jack here. I’m afraid nothing could make him whole.

    A close up of a plush koala wearing a blue t-shirt, full of holes, stuffing leaking out, an eye missing. Bruised and battered.

  • #Engineering, Day 6.

    Wandering along Sandgate Beach, Warra to the Turrbal people. I love the patterns engineered by the tides.

    Looking along a beach at low tide, a bright blue sky above wavy patterns in the sand.

  • #Tile, Day 5.

    I’m used to tiling textures, instead I found some textured tiling.

    A high contrast close up of the subtle textures in some large white tiles.
