Beauty

Posted over 2 years ago

Beauty exists everywhere – literally.

Sometimes, and often, it will grab you by the eyes, slap you around the face and yell “Look at Me! Can you see It? Can you taste It? I am Beauty”!

Yes, Beauty, I see you. We all do, when we care to look. We experience that quick, short inhalation of you. That sublime feeling. That wonder. No matter if you are clichéd. No matter if you are an old warho…

Thank you

Posted over 2 years ago

Thanks to those that have purchased my works.

It is a feeling far greater then mere profit when you see that someone has liked your images enough to spend money on them :)

Please Explain...

Posted over 2 years ago

Where are your dreams, your aspirations, your hopes and desires?

What cuts you, what bleeds you, what twists you in awe and pain?

What is your rationale for living – for sharing the air I breath, for getting out of bed, for smiling?

What is it you yearn, you learn, you envision in your future?

What is it you fear, you hear, you run away from in your past?

How do you survive, keep…

The Black, White & Grey

Posted over 2 years ago

or
The Ramblings of an Insomniac
or
I See Grey People

When a child is young, the world is Black and White.

White – warm, cuddly Mother and Father
White – food takes away hunger
Black – dark rooms are boring and make me cry
Black – loud noises scare me

As a child grows up and begins to learn the world, swirly patches of Grey appear.

White – favourite cartoon
White – playin…

Of wool today!

So it did,
I see you have m…

Confidence...

Posted over 2 years ago

So, yesterday I spent a few hours wandering around beautiful scenery, taking photos – which is quite usually for me on a weekend. I came back home, and scanned through my performance.

And was appalled. I suck. I hated it all. Overexposed skies, mainly. I was almost teary, I hated it so much, because I fully expected to be in awe of my incredible talent. Instead, I was overawed with my incred…

Pint Size

Posted over 2 years ago

Ok, I’m going to start using my journal for posting shots which I like, but aren’t ever likely to be hanging on someone’s wall.

I like this one particularly for the timing. An opportune moment, and not likely to happen again. Taken last weekend.

As with all of these- comment freely – positive/negative – whatever. I have a thick skin.

3D Project Blog (for those interested)

Posted over 2 years ago

Feel free to ask questions…

Currently working on a project for the Burswood Casino, Perth. I thought I’d blog this for those interested in 3D work.

The project is to outfit the casino atrium with an extensive LED lighting system – something like you see on LV casinos. Here, I will only show the process leading up to the actual finished building, and not the lighting aspect, which is n…
