#Photography, Portrait of Cherry Kearton standing on his brother Richard’s shoulders to take a picture of a bird’s nest (c. 1900) #art
The brothers were pioneers of wildlife photography, and in 1892, took the first ever photograph of a bird’s nest with eggs.

When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt.
This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.

Ebo Taylor - Love and Death (live in '11)
The Ghanaian guitarist turns 89 today! I've got something from him lined up for Thursday morning's show. His work is solid.

Last year, one of my pieces was a finalist in the Urunga Small Works competition
I didn't win, but it was a great privilege and very encouraging and motivating
Urunga is a beautiful town in New South Wales
I enjoyed playing the talking drum during the opening ceremony, too 🪘

I went back to my roots as a carver about 2 years ago, after 20 years of focussing solely on recording and teaching music
I make lots of drums, and all my carvings have musical purposes
they bring 2 passions together
Here's some pictures taken since I resumed carving here in South Australia
