Last weekend I went with my family to our favourite beach in Australia known as “Treachery“. As the map below shows it is about 3 hours North of Sydney and is located just past Seal Rocks. We first started coming here around 1997 and have come almost every year since for 2 to 3 weeks in the Summer. It is really an untouched wilderness nestled in the middle of Myall Lake National Park where there is a camp ground just behind the Northern end of...
On Tuesday last week I arrived back home to Sydney, Australia for a 1 month long visit to attend my brother’s wedding and for a general family reunion. I am very happy to be back enjoying the early Summer in Sydney after missing it for 7 years! Today, Sunday, I went with my Mum to the local Organic Farmers Market right near where we live on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. It was great to see the thousands of people flocking for the fresh food...
On Friday September 30th, I woke at 3:30am to get ready to drive to the airport with two friends Narayana and Joey. We decided to go to New York City for 6 days largely because I’d never been there and also because I had some frequent flyer miles to burn. Plus we have a good friend, Austin, who has a nice apartment we could crash in. There were no issues with the flight and I was surprised how short the journey was, only 1 hour and 40 minutes from...
Whenever I have had some time over the past few months I have been taking some fun self portraits in the evening around twilight. I have always had a fascination with time lapse photography and have been doing it on and off since I was 14. I love how in a single frame you can capture multiple moments in time and how it creates something more than the sum of the parts. All photos below were taken with a Pentax DSLR on the “bulb” setting with...
On an afternoon in August 2004, I boarded a jumbo jet in Sydney, Australia bound for the United States. After a long and arduous 30 hour journey, I arrived in Maharishi Vedic City – a few miles to the north-west of Fairfield, home to Maharishi University of Management (MUM). I enjoyed a delicious dinner at the friends house that I was staying and was in bed by about 9pm. I awoke the next morning at 7am feeling great and as if I had always lived in this...
Last year I went home to Australia and was lucky to be able to go down to Melbourne and visit my Grandparents on my Dad’s side of the family. They built their house during the 1950′s and it’s in a nice neighborhood near the beach in a town called Parkdale. I have stayed with them at different times over the past 25 years and not much has changed in their house during that time. One table near the entry has this incredible picture (below)...
In December last year I ventured over to Europe for a meeting in Brussels and then soon after went to South India. I traveled with David Jung (my work colleague) to some very beautiful places in India during a 20 day period. After this little adventure we returned to Europe for some more meetings and business talks. We ended up changing our return ticket to Fairfield, Iowa three times and the trip turned into 10 weeks instead of 3.5 weeks. Below is a...
That which is infinite, that alone is happiness.
There is no joy in smallness. The infinite alone is bliss. - Upanishads
Hi, my name is Asher Fergusson. I was born in Sydney, Australia during the 1980′s and grew up on the Northern Beaches. I love surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, outdoors, star gazing, photography, travel, India, rock climbing, art, meditation, yoga and currently do web development.
I am generally not pulled towards money in any way. I find great fulfillment in donating my time to help non-profit organizations. I don’t have a lot of money but still seem to manage on a shoe string budget.
