Pelicans have personality!
In this delightful photo story, Jasmine Ranezay from Ace Camera Club ponders their uniqueness. From curious glances to quirky poses, each pelican has its own charm.

We started off looking for shadows on York Street, but then we got sidetracked — because once you begin noticing light and shadow, everyday things start to become remarkable 💫

To look at a photograph and wonder how that same scene may have appeared 100 years ago is at the heart of Adam’s story.

The shearing shed on his property dates back to the 1860s—one of the oldest in the state. Built from sun-baked clay bricks, it stands as a quiet witness to generations of work, change, and rural life. Through his images, Adam captures the character of the shed, using light and thoughtful composition to draw attention to the details that hold its history.

A gorgeous, feel-good photo story about an energetic dog’s dash to the beach.

It’s a reminder that storytelling doesn’t need to be complicated—some of the best photo stories come from weaving creativity into your everyday routine.

The title is fun!

Sometimes we arrive at a location and quietly think… there’s not much to photograph.
But then we stay a little longer.
We walk. We look.
Because the more time you give a place, the more it gives back.

When Jess Downer from Mt Barker shared her photo story idea with me — I admit, I wish I’d thought of it myself!

She was photographing a local wildlife rehabilitator, affectionately known as The Snake Lady whose home is filled with pythons, lizards… and birds. A fascinating character and a perfect subject for a portrait story.

Jess captured the story on her smartphone. And me? I made sure I captured the behind-the-scenes.

I wasn’t going to miss out.

Moments like this remind me that great stories are everywhere — and sometimes my role isn’t to take the photo, but to recognise it, support it, and watch someone else bring it to life.
