This is a rather old image from the bottom of my big box of negatives that I’m slowly converting to digital files. I had been out on a fashion shoot and at the end of it I found I had 2 frames left. So on the way home with the model I stopped in at Graffitti Hall of Fame in Alexandria which is one of the inner city suburbs of Sydney. In this digital age its hard to imagine having faith in taking a good picture with only two goes at it but there you are! I got the model on to the roller and shot one from the front and with the very last frame shot this one. I hope you like it as much as I do. :) This is what it looks like framed

by Juilee Pryorhaving given myself the afternoon to spend with redbubble I’ve decided to post a wildcard image into the fashion competion. Originally shot on velvia in available light and if you look really closely the model has a camera in her crotch. :) / This is a companion image to “Bloom” these look really good framed. hint hint :)

A very old analouge negative taken on Boxing Day some twenty odd years ago. This girl was living with my younger sister in Darlinghurst in Sydney at the time and yes there were drugs involved. Neither of them survived the experience. All I have left is some very old photo’s and my memories. To death us do drug. Was that a challenge, a motto or a promise. I could never work it out.

Not a nude but still a bit naughty. Dark elegant and compelling. Another old analouge image from the vaults. This looks great framed.
-
Now for something completely different. An oldie but a goldie from the analouge vaults of a mama swimming in a rock pool down Coogee way. This is a straight b/w film capture with no tricky stuff done to it. It is as it was when I snapped it. I’ve always been taken with this matronly look possibly because I’ve always been a bit on the bony side but maybe because the woman in this picture looks like a mama. I love her to bits.

Ian Rilen was a legendary Sydney rock and roller and a member of bands such as Rose Tattoo, X and Sardine V. He died earlier this year and is much missed for his wild and wonderful ways. I found this candid back stage shot of him and his then wife Stephanie preparing to go onstage at the Trade Union Club in Sydney’s Surry Hills way way back in the early 80’s. They were in Sardine V at that time and when I look at this shot now the eighties rush back. Oh my misspent youth. :) So Vale Ian Rilen, I so hope things are rocking were ever you are. This shot is for you.

something I saw written on a wall of a derelict inner city punk squat many years ago and was compelled to photograph. recently rediscovered while digitizing negative files this photo has not been seen for twenty years. this is what it looks like as a laminated print.

yesterday I attemped to have a conversation with someone about what consitutes a ‘real photographer’. rather that respond he reacted by telling me I’m a negative psyhco bitch, the only bad thing about Redbubble and should hurry out to buy razor blades and kill myself. no shit! I guess this means I’ll never be a ‘real photographer’ so to celebrate my freedom from the label of ‘real’ I’ve decided to concentrate on posting some UNREAL photographs. Here’s the first. This is a chance shot taken while someone slept in the set of an alternative theatre production some years ago. Vale Peter your real to me still though you are no longer real in a corporeal sense.

This photo was taken at Central Station in Sydney with another of my eccentric little cameras…this time a tiny little Russian Lomo…The camera is about the size of a packet of cigarettes and was originally developed by the Russians as as spy camera…. It never really worked all that well as a spy camera being somewhat large for the task at hand and unreliable as all get out but eventually the arty farty camera tragic fraternity found out about it and it was a big hit with them… I got an authentic and numbered one fairly recently and have been doing some road tests on it in order to take it with me to Antarctica. This is the first chance I’ve had to post some of the results from it here on Redbubble ..hope you like them… I’m quite impressed myself and am looking forward to using it to spy on some penguins while I’m away :)

This picture of a lovely laughing child was taken some years ago now while I was driving out from Meekathara in the WA central desert on my way towards the Gun Barrel Highway. At a tiny camp called Wiluna I stopped to look for some art and come across this family sitting in their car in the shade. This child’s sweet face has stayed with me all this time but today, this momentus day, is the first time I’ve felt like I could display it. Little Debbie and her family are impoverished by anyones standard but they clearly have love and strong family bonds. This child represents what we that is we white Australians are saying sorry for. Sorry that we couldn’t see value in our fellow Australians. The first settlers here in this wide brown land. Sorry that we took little children away from their family and their country and people. Only a relatively short time ago this child and her mother would have fled at my approach fearing my whiteness and the dreadful things we whites perpetrated upon them in the name of the law. So from the bottom of my heart Debbie I would like to say Sorry. Sorry Sorry indeed I am very sorry. And I hope that now we can all go on together in peace and trust and mutal respect. For all the little Debbie’s white and black and brown and pink and yellow lets all step forward together hand in hand and welcome whatever it is that comes next….....

Another ratty Infrared photo shot with a battered old Olympus OM1 while zooming around in a little zodiac in the frozen oceans of the Antarctic Peninsular. Another mysterious something captured in the clear blue sky and found later on the negative. Not going to put in the big rant this time. But I do believe that there are signs of the gods all around us should we choose to just open ourselves to them. Could this be one of them? Who knows but its certinally a strange thing to find hovering about in the sky and I for one am open to alternative explainations of what it may be or might symbolize….....:)

Continuing with my uploaded series of the Neverland Collection and how it took me into my current or rather ongoing obsession with Antarctica. I originally flew over Antarctica on a NYE flight as a guest of my uncle and his jazz band way back in 1999. While on that flight I took a couple of intreging photo’s with Infrared film that really started the whole shebang off. These images are Midnight over Antarctica / and Zeus over Antarctica / and these two photo’s are the beginning. Then I retreated to my studio and read and thought and painted till I could come to terms with what I was trying to comprehend…. that period is detailed here When I’d got all the painting out of my system I knew I had to go back out into the landscape but with a camera…. I really find my voice is stronger with a camera… anyway my studio was at that time in the suburb of St Peters in Sydney and was very near to a huge park called …very imagingatively…..Sydney Park! Anyway I would just roam about early in the mornings and over a period of a couple of months I put together a small series of interesting black and white IR photographs which I called the Neverland Collection. This image I have just posted is the lead image if you like the one that all the others followed from and it’s about the ‘idea’ of home. The fantastical notions we carry within us that we hold precious like this bucolic representation of the ideal western highly romantisized idea of the perfect unattainable landscape…... hence its title….. Neverland…...

Well I’ve been uploading some pretty and colourful images for the last week or so and now I’m going to post some more of my dark landscapes again. All of this series will be infrared film images taken a couple of years ago at a friends place in the Hunter Valley. This is the first one which till now I’ve called very uninspiringly hill 5…. now its been reinvented as big hill little cow….. hope you like it
-
this is the next in my current series of uploads. All of these IR landscapes were were shot at the old Reshes site on Lachlan street in Sydney some years back when it was being demolished. I took quite a lot of photo’s of the site over a period of time but waited till the sky was just so to use the infrared film…... it just seems to bring out all the latent drama trapped within the mundane….

I’ve been a few blackandwhite Infrared photo’s of late and thought some colour might be nice. This image is also a B/W IR shot which I’ve scanned as an RGB tiff file and then just taken it from there in Photoshop. The last couple of series of work that I’ve posted I’ve done very little to in terms of post production which is because mostly I do all my tricky stuff in the camera …. or sometimes the darkroom….. yes I still hang out in dark rooms and I love the filmic magic that is available to those who still use film….... anyway just because its a cold and windy sort of a Sunday and I’m indoors …....I thought I’d have a little play around with this shot….. this is a little bit experimental and I am not quite sure if it works as well with all these rich colours woven into the image but I’m trying to illustrate the idea of Grace and that is a state of being that is clearly not black and white…....... / /

well I’ve been really busy in the darkroom with this semesters photography students. We’ve been building pinhole cameras out of all sorts of things and then printing out the negatives in the wet darkroom. Then these images will be scanned and outputted as 1 metre square digital image. So from the most basic form of photographic capture to the top end of digital output…. it’s a fabulous project and the students really love it to bit…. So far in the group we have cameras built out of nappybuckets, toilet roll holders, letter boxes, teapots and one intrepid fellow has made a reasonably viable camera out of a car wheel….. no joke it’s a sight to behold as he rolls in around the campus. Anyway I usually just stick to making my cameras out of old photographic paper boxes and they seem to work well for me. The image here is a double exposed pinhole shot of a lifesized human skeleton that the students use in the drawing and painting classes. The aperture…. or the pinhole…. or the lens if you like …. is a massive .5 of one millimetre. The exposure time was 15 seconds on a bright clear sunny day. The negative is a whole sheet of 10×8 inch blackandwhite photo paper and that has been contact printed on to another 10×8 inch sheet of paper and then I’ve scanned both negative and positive and placed them onto the one page so I can upload them here together. So volia….. pinhhole photography rules…...:)

I’m preparing a new body of work for exhibiton later in the year and am working out ways to present these images. Yesterday I posted a single image muted landscpe #2 in order to invite some responses to the way I preparing the indivdual images with a very muted colouring and now today I’m posting a pair of images in a way that will replicate the way I want to present them. I’m thinking that I would do either three or four pairs of linked images individually framed but hung together in a series of pairs so that they will sort of look like this one….... Each photograph will be printed at around 20×24 inches and then with the matting and framing I estimate each pair will need about 2 metres of wall space for hanging. Let me know what you all think while I’m open to suggestions with this body of work and I’ll listen to all suggestions….... ta muchly in advance…...

every couple of months I head out of town and go and stay with a dear friend up in the Hunter Valley…... it’s a stunningly beautiful area and I never tire of photographing the landscape there. My friends live on the crest of a hill that rims a series of very dreamy misty valleys and there are many flooded creeks and little lakes to be found all around this lovely place. My favorite place in this chain of valleys is a tiny little hidden lake with a nautral sandstone grotto at its head and a minute island in the centre of it. The lake is only around 20 odd metres in length and the island is only big enough for two trees but it’s beauty is staggering. It’s like an ancient holy place and to just stand by the shoreline is a form of meditation. I have no idea if it has a proper name or not being so small but from the first time I saw it …. I’ve called it Genevieve’s Lake….. and the swirly misty magic of the landscape takes me away into other dimensions…... no perfidious Albian here….. just a faint lingering sense of the Lady of the Lake…...

Having a bit of a play around with some old hand coloured photo’s. This disperate group of handcoloured images owe nothing to Adobe in any way shape or form. They were shot with an old SLR using B/W film…. ahh film…. and then processed and printed in a wet darkroom on to Iford multigrade satin paper. Then the photographs were tinted with Marshalls very fine transulent photo oil paints then scanned with my very nice HP H4050 Scanjet flatbed scanner. The day after I took this photo…. the tree got chopped down… and it was in full bloom…. the saddest thing I ever saw….. sigh…..
-
Another hand coloured photo from the vaults. This is a flatbed scan of a 10×8 inch photograph that has been printed with two negs just out of register. Then it was doused with various inks and food colourings and scratched and abused with a kitchen scourer before being splattered with gold paint. Tthe Yeh Yeh was burnt in to the surface of the print with a soldering iron….then it’s been allowed to mature for about twenty years before scanning and being uploaded here. Kept it’s colours pretty well I think …. there has been no photoshop work at all done to this… its straight from the scanner.

another recent reworking of an very old image. this is also the companion image to this one here.

It’s been a while since I put up the companion images to this muted landscape #4 , here , here , and here but the series finally came back from the framers and they all got shipped off to Parliment House in Sydney just yesterday. Oh my goodness getting all these done was a bit of an epic ….. and then there was an overbooking at the venue so we’ve all had to wait an extra week to put up our show…... it was all meant to be on the wall on the 4th but now won’t open till next week….... so all the frantic rushing to get it all done in time was all a bit nuts now that I think about it. Anyway after a lot of flaffing about with how best to articulate the images to best advantage I finally printed them myself on to 325 gsm warm toned Fabrizoni finest watercolour paper with my very nice Epson photostylus R1800 printer. Then each pair …. there are four in total…. has been double mounted in a mid grey matt with a glossy black box frame. Each print is A3 in size and the final dimensions of each framed pair is 106.5cms by 53 cms. So only mediumly large in the end. The mid grey tone of the matt reads as mid green in relation to the prints themself and the whole effect is of a very muted but mysterious melancholic beauty…. I’m very pleased with them. So if your in Sydney next week pop into Macquarie Street and have a look…. there are four of these Broken Landscapes and another new doubled work to boot….... Landscape for Piet Mondrian #1 and #2… I’ll post about that set later on

this last in this mini series of black and white images from a body of work called “is anybody there?”...... the first is repression and the second is rage they combined tell a dark and depressing story of love gone wrong in a small town a long time a go…... / . / . / . /

another infrared image from the vaults that has been gently coloured to give it the emotional tone it needs. I shot this image and the ones that follow in the days after my father died. They were all taken while I wandered along the river Torrens in Adelaide near where he lived. This particular stretch of the river is particularly beautiful and was a place he loved to go walking with his cameras. So then this image is about memory and loss and also about redemption through beauty. / . /
