		<title>The Rationale Behind *Live* Documents</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When you invest resources authoring a business plan with a review date for 6 or 12 months into the future&#8230; what happens if one month later a direct competitor opens next door? Or you have only half the available finances you thought were there&#8230; or double the finances? As Boring as Bat Shit Do you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Misleading and Deceptive Conduct</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s difficult for entrepreneurs and small business owners to know where the legal line is in marketing. I really do get that &#8211; they&#8217;re desperate to make conversions and, along the way, there are probably going to be casualties. The Limitations on Australian Companies However, in the modern world everybody should be aware that companies [...]]]></description>

		<title>Create a Simple Film Drying Cabinet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Shooting analogue film can pose challenges outside the exposure triangle and one of the most frustrating can be the post-development drying of processed film negatives. More than occasionally my 120 film negatives have been impacted by particles of dust that appear as unsightly white spots after scanning. You can Google film drying cabinets &#8211; they [...]]]></description>

		<title>Contracts are Serious Business</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Disclaimer: I&#8217;m not a lawyer and I have no claim that this advice should be taken as legal advice in replacement of seeking out professional help. What I hope to do is educate you over a series of small posts about what constitutes a contract and you should be able to figure out when you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Business Advice is Difficult to Swallow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my favourite pieces of crap television is watching Chef Gordon Ramsay try to save a sinking restaurant against the best efforts of the incumbent restaurateur &#8211; Ramsay&#8217;s Kitchen Nightmares. It&#8217;s like watching the evolution of a slow-motion car wreck unfolding from a power pole back onto the highway. The part that really gets [...]]]></description>

		<title>Diane Arbus (Book Review)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Diane Arbus (1923-1971) was definitely a photographer&#8217;s photographer. I absolutely love Norman Mailer&#8217;s 1971 quote: &#8220;Giving a camera to Diane Arbus is like putting a live grenade in the hands of a child.&#8221; She was the photographer who focused on the freaks and described them as people who had &#8220;already passed their test in life.&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Paul Strand (1990-1976) was an American modernist photographer with a career spanning well over half a century. His work included the first intentionally made abstraction photographs, the first photograph of a part of a mechanical device as a purely aesthetic image, landscapes, architecture and candid portraits of everyday people.

		<title>Fighting the Holiday Procrastination Bug</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I really enjoy shooting photographs and I don&#8217;t even mind pushing all of those digital images through post within hours of arriving home. I also enjoy shooting film more than digital. However, my Christmas holiday seems to have evolved into an actual holiday rather than an exploited opportunity. &#8220;I had plans, [...]]]></description>

After some time in the West, Watkins took up a temporary position in a daguerreotypy studio and from that moment had found his calling&#8230; he would be a photographer.

		<title>Competitors are always Watching</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Your competitors are watching you &#8211; or they should be. Every time you serve a customer, every complaint or note of praise, every instance that a product is sold by you instead of them is being noted. Knowing this, you have little option but to actively compete. A good example is the first-mover in an [...]]]></description>
