Recognising what the ego is
For as long as I remember, I’ve understood the concept of ego. We nearly all know what it is… basically just another word for pride, right? Or at least, that’s how it is most often used. When we see someone acting up, they’re being a bit hoity-toity, we are likely to throw the term ego…

Life Coaching Sessions Two and Three
It’s been a few weeks since my second life coaching session and there is a lot to write about. I actually had my 3rd session there on Tuesday so I figured rather than write 2 separate posts, I’d combine the two and see what I can relay from them.

Life Coaching Session One: Myers-Briggs and Temperament
As outlined in an earlier post about life coaching, my intention for the following series of “Life coaching” articles is to detail and document the process. Granted, this is just my experience of it as played out by my particular coach and my own interpretations, so it may not be representative for your experiences. Before…

Digital Photography Concepts: White Balance
Anyone who grew up in the UK will remember Daz, whiter than white advertisements; perhaps they still even persist. White was King when it came to washing powders and detergents. But what is white exactly? Silly question it may seem, but in digital photography it is far from trivial… here, too, white is king. You…

Life Coaching: What is it?
I first happened upon the term about a year ago when a friend mentioned someone she had met who was a life coach. Before that, I had no idea such a thing existed! I had of course heard of executive and professional coaches, fitness coaching and things like that, so I could imagine to a…

Photography Concepts: Depth of Field
Time and again I hear this term used and it gets either used completely incorrectly. It is often combined with the word aperture, and voila, a statement that sounds remarkably technical, but actually makes little sense. With a quick explanation and with the help of a picture or two I’d like to help answer the…

Surrendering to the Now
I’ve been reading a book recently called [AMAZON_AFF item=”powernow” text=”The Power of Now”] by Eckhart Tolle. There’s heaps in there to keep you occupied; learning to apply some of the principles here can only make you grow spiritually in a big way I feel. The latest section I’m reading, nearer the end of the book, is…

Digital Photography Concepts: Camera RAW
This topic is discussed and questioned all over the web, so why do I feel the need to talk about it here? There’s just something not intuitive about some attempts to articulate it… we all have different way to describe things, so the more explanations out there, the better. Hopefully this will help clear up…

Digital camera buying guide [Part II]: What a D-SLR can offer
In the previous article I touched upon the 2 main extremes of digital cameras, namely SLRs, and compacts. The former is bulky and expensive, while the latter is small, slim and cheap. What is a D-SLR and why would I want one? SLR is an acronym for Single Lens Reflex. This represents the mirror and…

Digital camera buying guide [Part I]: Where do I start?
There are so many cameras out there, and so many options to consider that picking a digital camera can be quite daunting. Isn’t it an odd phenomenon that with more choice comes less satisfaction? Very often we find ourselves wondering if in-fact we chose the ‘wrong’ one… maybe there’s a better one that I didn’t…
