25.01.2022 As the sun leaves this hallowed land, neath feet of trodden ground, under cover of darkness, the spirits rise and the devils come forth. For this eve, the land that is, belongs to us, the creatures of shadow. We bring gifts of chaos and mayhem. Havoc and torment is our game... and we will play #halloween #halloween #halloween2019 #halloweenpoem #wordsofhalloween #writerslife #devilsplayground #halloweenspirit #mayhem #torment #chaos #chaosmagick #devilsnight

25.01.2022 Empathy & the Mask Situation When it comes to wearing masks, we are not all in this together. Im writing this in the hope that I can increase some empathy to those who are being shown little right now. Im going to share my experience of wearing a mask and know that there are people with far greater struggles than I. This is me coming out of the mental health closet in the hope of helping others. In 2006 I contracted a severe case of whooping cough. For those who have never ...Continue reading

23.01.2022 I almost didnt come up here as it was getting dark so quick. But these monuments have been watching over us all afternoon I had to come and say hello. Such magnificent structures. So glad I made the effort. #windfarm #windfarms #toora #visittoora #visitgippsland #visitgippslanditsbeautiful #windmills #sunsets_captures #sunsetpics #sunsetshots #photoofsunset #iosphotography #lightroomphotography #lightroomphoto

21.01.2022 Merry Christmas to you all. Wishing you a beautiful day filled with love, joy and happiness.

21.01.2022 So with all the money I haven’t spent this year thanks to lockdowns, I decide to indulge in a drone to get some aerial footage and photos. Mostly I’ll use it for background shots on the guided meditations I create over at Empowering Meditations Today was my first time venturing out over water to get this shot of #frankstonpier #visitfrankston #frankstonbeach #frankston #frankstoncity #dronephotography #aerialphotography #beachlife #seascapephotography #earthfromabove #lookingdown #dji #djimavicair2 #mavicair2

21.01.2022 The photo that nearly killed me! On my photography quests over the years, Ive found myself in too many dicey situations to count. But of all of them, this is by far the most dangerous photo Ive ever taken back in 2009. It is in the Blue Mountains in NSW. I trekked for an hour off the beaten path, through rough terrain and flesh-tearing scrub until I was met with this view. And what a spectacular view it was. And so far off the path, not a single sign of another human in sig...Continue reading

21.01.2022 BIG RANT AHEAD!!! I've been on Facebook all of 10 minutes and I've seen a post saying how terrible Facebook is for tracking people on the web to show better ads to them, a post about a new web browser that blocks ads from YouTube, and an ad for a VPN that blocks ads from everything. Every day I see something about trying to get creative works for free in some way or another. Blocking ads on YouTube, Finding web sites that stream music and movies for free without ads (you know... that shit is stolen right?), getting around paying for creative content with legal loopholes, and on and on... WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU ALL??? I have been in the creative business most of my adult life and I've seen it decline and decline and decline in quality because y'all want everything for FREE. I have questions. Why do you want creative stuff for free but never question the price of a can of coke? Why do you seek out ways to rip off and steal from creative people but not really any other industry? We have been driven to this model of giving our creations away on the internet and making a minuscule amount from ad revenue because very few people want to pay anything any more. What do you think will happen when we can't even make money from putting ads on the work you all love to look at but don't want to pay for? Whenever you complain that music and movies these days are shit, ask yourself what you did to help this happen. Every time you watch something for free because you downloaded it or you didn't pay to subscribe to the streaming service or you skipped an ad, you are helping the creative industry to be even more shit. The people with money to invest in creative endeavours no longer have the money to take risks on creative projects. So everything must follow an absolute formula for a guaranteed success (as much as there can be one anyway) We've already created a world where there is little heart and soul in the creative industries, do you want to void the world of art altogether? You watch it, you pay for it... One way or another!

20.01.2022 Ive had this Selenite lamp for years. I fell in love with it the first time I saw it and just had to bring it home. Its slightly crooked, sits lopsided and has a wavy off centre flow to the texture. It was half price because it wasnt as perfect as the others. To me it was and I wouldve paid full price. It sits in my lounge reminding me always that beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder #selenitecrystal #selenite #selenitetower #fortressofsolitude #crystallamp #crystallight #beautyiseverywhere #eyeofthebeholder #beautyisintheeyeofthebeholder #perfectlyimperfect #crystallove

20.01.2022 Another beautiful view of Wilsons Prom across the waters. It looks so primal, like a land where dinosaurs still roam #visitwilsonsprom #wilsonsprom #wilsonspromontory #visittoora #toora #tooravictoria #oceanviews #primallandscapes #seaviews #wetlands #visitvictoria #visitvictoriaaustralia #beautifulaustralia #australianscenery #iosphoto

19.01.2022 Last week I went for a walk around Ballam Park, Victoria, Australia to test out a new camera and the slow-motion features. I met Dana Taylor walking her lovely dog Cynda. I'd seen them around before and new Cynda loved to chase the birds, so asked if it was okay to film. When Dana saw the footage she suggested the Chariots of Fire music and it made me laugh enough to do a little edit and share it here. The Great Bird Chase of Ballam Park. Edit: so it was supposed to have the... Chariots of Fire music on it but Facebook saw fit to delete it. Just play it in the background while you watch https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=8a-HfNE3EIo&feature=share #VisitFrankston

17.01.2022 The beach has seemed quieter the last few days, but the regulars are still there. We're the ones who walk the boards hail or shine, good days and bad, even in the face of impending doom. Drawn to the sands, beckoned by the waters. Nothing can stop us. Nothing will. While the waves continue to crash, our souls will be free. While the breeze whispers, our problems blown away. The sand in our toes, attuning us to the language of the Earth herself. And she whispers a prayer of ca...lm that eases our burdens. We are the people of the boards, the walkers of Earth. We will be the calm in your storm. https://jamescole.com.au/writi/poetry/people-of-the-boards/ Find your calm @ Empowering Thoughts #Zen #Poem #VisitFrankston

05.01.2022 While practising the fine art of procrastination, I stumbled across an old Maralyn Manson video from 1991 when he was just starting out. It's a live set at a local record store and he is clearly nervous, lacking confidence and full of insecurities. https://youtu.be/SZFzcWm4SW0 Skip ahead 12 years and he has transformed into the rock god with all the confidence and arrogance that comes with it. Commanding presence and authority to an audience of thousands worshipping him. htt...ps://youtu.be/CdalawZKHlU Another 14 years forward and we have the bookend to his career. The seasoned pro. No need for glitz or glamour, flashy lights or backing tracks. The passion somewhat faded, the dreams of glory long behind and achieved. A man going through the motions of what he does best. https://youtu.be/gooI9E4KY4Q Time is a strange and crippling beast from which no one escapes.

04.01.2022 Come and watch my new video. Going live @11am Australian Eastern Daylight Time https://www.facebook.com/EmpoweringMeditations/posts/1137463919934913

02.01.2022 My crazy super gifted friend Glen Gabriel has released a new track just in time for Halloween. What an incredible piece of music. So proud of this dude. Congratulations on the release Geln. Can only dream of the magic you're about to record https://open.spotify.com/track/1TzCus0g1q04ISArznSJap

02.01.2022 Creative inspiration can come from anything. Like when we feel something or see something we resonate with. Yesterday it came from a deep frustration with having to wear these ridiculous masks. If you can't beat 'em, mock 'em! https://www.redbubble.com/people/hysteria/shop

01.01.2022 Apparently the beach, you know, that thing that's been there for hundreds of thousands of years, is now a "Council Facility" The irony of this is, that it is having the opposite effect of what they claim they want. "They" being those in charge who don't think things through. The last week, people were able to walk on the beach and everyone was respecting the social distancing and giving each other a wide birth with a friendly "hello". Now we are limited to the boardwalk, ba...rely 2 metres across. Two people crossing paths is fine, but coming against a family out for a walk, there's just no room. I understand the closure over the weekend to prevent the city muppets from coming down and crowding but the beach isn't some social gathering place for us locals. It is our place to walk, exercise, clear our minds, get our mental health right. It is cleansing of the mind and soul which is just as important as cleaning our hands. Now more than ever. Don't punish all of us by the actions of those who don't even live here. Please @FrankstonCityCouncil @PetaMurphyDunkley #OPENTHEBEACH If you agree, please share and retag anyone who can help make this happen.

01.01.2022 Happy Halloween Everyone Have you seen the scary story special I created just for this most special of days. Much love to all the witches of the world ... #Halloween #storytime #DemonSlayer https://youtu.be/nv3pmQl0Uws

01.01.2022 Nothing beats a delicious hot chocolate on a cold wintery Melbourne morning... Except its supposedly summer
