Fuchsia Photo Set

Posted
Red and white fuchsia flowerWhen I was growing up my father was always a great fuchsia enthusiast. He had a backyard that was crammed full of about 60 different kinds of fuchsia. It's from my years of shadowing him in his garden as a kid that I learned my love of gardening myself. The funny thing is that I have never grown fuchsias - well until recently when I bought one with a gift voucher I got for my birthday. I should really know the name of this fuchsia as I recognize it as one that my dad definitely had in his garden. Anyhow, now that it's started to flower in my garden, I had to take a photo of it and made this set. I guess I know what I can give him for Christmas this year.

Do Not Disconnect - The Real Digital Divide

Posted
The fly in the ointment, Opito Bay, around 2007. This post was originally published in November, 2007. Almost two decades on, the photograph and the argument both feel — if anything — more relevant than they did then. I have updated this post lightly in May, 2026, some 19 years later! The Photograph I was on holiday in Opito Bay on New Zealand's Coromandel Peninsula, sitting on the couch in the place we were staying at. A friend's iPod was resting on the coffee table, on top of a copy of The Economist from March 2005, whose cover story happened to be titled "The Real Digital Divide." A fly landed on the iPod's click wheel and stayed there. I reached for my camera, took the shot, and edited it later in Photoshop to give it the grungy, oversaturated look you see above. The fly on the iPod along with "The Real Digital Divide" struck me — immediately, and with a kind of emb...

Anza-Borrego Wildflowers

Posted
Anza Borrego Desert State Park California Wildflowers This cluster of wildflowers is typical of the flowers in Plum Canyon in Anza-Borrego Desert this spring. Because of the dry and harsh environment, most of the flowers are tiny like the three in this photo. But what they lack in size, they make up for in color. It's pretty difficult to try and identify all these flowers, but I'm pretty sure the white one is Desert Pincushion. Help out if you can. I've been using the CalFlora.org website to try and identify the flowers in this series.
