Through the water
Slippy, sloppy
Past the meat men
Chippy, choppy
Round the fish stalls
Slimy, scaley
Stop to buy prawn balls.
Shout for veggies
Higgle, haggle
Grab some bean sprouts
Wiggle, waggle
Wrap the dou foo
Wibble, wobble
Glad we're all done
Phew!

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.

The Man behind the Magic
Marriage is not a noun; it's a verb. It isn't something you get. It's something you do. It's the way you love your partner every day.

The Union of Two
You don't marry someone you can live with, you marry the person who you cannot live without.

Jeff & Leanne
Did my first pet photoshoot with Jeff & Leanne. Playful and active bunch, they were. Reminded me that patience is a virtue... ;) But overall it was a great experience and they were so adorable!

Daddy and Me
A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society.

Cormorant Fishing
Traditional fishing method in which fishermen use trained cormorants to fish in rivers.
To control the birds, the fishermen tie a snare near the base of the bird's throat. Though this prevents the birds from swallowing larger fish, which are held in their throat, the birds are still able to swallow smaller fish. When a cormorant has caught a fish in its throat, the fisherman brings the bird back to the boat and has the bird spit the fish back up. Though cormorant fishing used to be a successful fishing industry, its primary use today is to serve the tourism industry.

Asian Inquisitiveness
Every man ought to be inquisitive through every hour of his great adventure down to the day when he shall no longer cast a shadow in the sun. For if he dies without a question in his heart, what excuse is there for his continuance?

Struggles of Making a Living
Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.

The Back Alley
The air was soft, the stars so fine, the promise of every cobbled alley so great that I thought I was in a dream.

Exasperation
To a gardener there is nothing more exasperating than a hose that just isn't long enough.

Spiralling
This seems to be the law of progress in everything we do; it moves along a spiral rather than a perpendicular; we seem to be actually going out of the way, and yet it turns out that we were really moving upward all the time.
