A new camera

I have put off buying a digital SLR camera for a long time.  The rate of improvement in that technology has been astounding, so I held back to try to let the market mature and settle down a bit.

A week ago I decided that enough was enough.  The focus of my Canon point and shoot A1000 (a fantastic little camera that was very cheap) started playing up.  So I bit the bullet and bought a Canon EOS 550 Digital SLR.  It just arrived today and I have to say that I am very impressed.  I have snapped a few shots with it and the results are great.

This photo was taken on the terrace at home with the fruit trees.  It was never meant to be publish (hence the rough clothes), but I rather like the way it came out, so I thought that I would share it.

More photos to come!  I am looking forward to having a good play with this camera and seeing what it can achieve.  I have been wanting to do another nude shoot for some time and this is the perfect opportunity.

The dying art of walking in the suburbs

I was staying at the Rydges hotel in Rose Hill on Friday. Rather than order room service, or go down to the restaurant I decided to go out for a walk to find some food (hotel dining gets old very quickly if you spend as much time in hotels as I do).

I was really surprised then to find that unlike Australian suburbs as I know them – where walking is easy and the built environment is pedestrian friendly – this one is like a little slice of Houston, Texas.

If you have never been to Houston, then heres a short description: limited footpaths (if any), massive parking lots, limited public transport, everything is focused on driving. Even (I kid you not) driving 100 meters up the road to get lunch which is considered normal.

Walking is liable to get you heckled or worse.  Only poor people walk, or catch the bus, so pedestrians are considered fair game by many.

So walking around Rose Hill was a real shock.  The fast food stores (extruded from their respective corporate motherships) all seemed to assume that the only way anyone would approach them was by car.

The average pedestrian was forced to walk far out of their way to reach a door, and often run the gauntlet of driveway crossings and car parks to get there.  It was really quite startling and more than a little bit repulsive.  Somewhere some council town planners need to be sent for “re-education”

At least the extra walking required was good for me!

Your pleasure in my hands

Pleasure is ephemeral.

It can come from something as simple as being pampered …

Or sitting back to relax while someone else cooks dinner …

Sharing a drink and conversation …

Talking to someone just for fun …

Or being held just for the joy of feeling someone else’s skin on yours …

Pleasure comes from all sorts of things in life.

A good day to be indoors …

Wild and woolly weather here today.  A good day to be indoors and preferably tucked up in bed (preferably with someone)!

Today was of course a day where I ended up having to go out (on the bike) in the rain and howling wind.  Still, I didn’t get too wet and I am home safe now.

My weekend looks like it is going to fill up.  I have just taken a booking for Saturday day time, so if you are thinking of booking a date with me, then check out my calendar on the Price & Booking page and drop me an email, or a text.

Finishing touches

Timageoday is a momentous day!  It is the day that the last major piece of earthworks is taking place at my hideaway house.  We are backfilling some trenches and levelling off an area for guest parking.  Once it’s done there shouldn’t be any need to have heavy machinery on the property again soon, so I can really get on with the garden without the risk of having it ripped up in a months time!

This little excavator is really quite light footed though compared to the really big one that we had in a while ago …

An invitation from People With Disabilities

The Australian organisation People With Disabilities contacted me recently to ask if I would be interested in providing escort services for the people who they represent.  I am told that sadly there are very few male escorts for women who provide services for the disabled.

I have to say that I feel quite honoured to have been invited by PWD to assist them.  I am looking forward to working with their staff and clients and taking my services to a group of people who are so often overlooked in our society.

So thank you PWD for this opportunity, I look forward to making a difference for some deserving women.

A place in the country

If you have read over my site you will know that I divide my time between escorting in Sydney and working over the other side of the Blue Mountains.  A few years ago I bought a one acre property in a small town and built a (tiny) house.

I since then I have been working on the garden in my spare time.  Last year I planted four fruit trees.  This year they are thick with fruit and to help protect the apricots, peaches and nectarines from the dreaded fruit fly I have built domes covered with fabric mesh right over the top of them.

The resulting structure is really quite attractive and I am now looking forward to a good crop of fruit without any hidden surprises!

Apricot jam, here we come.

My site has been updated!

If you have been to my site previously you will have noticed that it has changed completely.

I have shifted over to a WordPress content management system to allow me to post more easily when I am out of the office, and to reduce the workload of maintaining the site.

If you have come to this post via a link to an article, then I am sorry to say that the article has been removed.  I have moved most of the content from my previous site to the new system, but some articles (which I was no-longer happy with) have been dropped.

There is still plenty to read though.  Just browse the menu above and in particular have a look through the articles linked from the Sexuality menu.
