I took close to zero photos before Christmas, at home or at the beach. My extended family members did, though, and I’ve yet to ask them if I could use some of theirs here on the blog please, pretty please? They are all superior photographers to myself, so I hope they say yes.

Be that as it may, my major Christmas present this year was a new mobile phone – a Samsung something-or-other. It takes a half decent shot, for such a little thing. So let me present to you a couple shots taken from our road trip home!

Open road

Taken by Adam when I was driving, somewhere between Parkes and Grenfell.

Gadgetry gone wrong

Here’s the cables to the portable DVD player, the radio synchronizer for the i-Touch, a double adapter to go in the cigarette lighter, and three headphones. What’s that corpse like piece of flesh under all that? Only my lily-white leg.
