Waterloo
One of my favourite haunts in Melbourne is the Camberwell Markets which, sadly for now has been cancelled due to Covid-19. I though this time of isolation would be the ideal time to restore some of the amazing images I have found at the market during previous visits.

Last weekend, Pixel By Pixel sponsored a disc golf tournament at Bald Hill Park in Clarinda, VIC.

This Saturday, 25th April 2015, marks the 100th Anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand, (ANZAC) forces during the First World War at Gallipoli. It is a time for us to remember and to honour those who have served with our armed forces; sadly, many of whom […]
Difficult Photo Restoration: Sometimes scary!
Occasionally I receive photogrpahs to restore that 'scare' me, not because of the subject matter, but because I question my ability to restore them whilst maintaining the integrity and real likeness of the subjects. This difficult photo restoration was performed for a client in Melbourne, Australia.
