This is one of my most loved pieces. It is a very popular art work, and I could never part with it, so I’ve decided to sell it as prints and t-shirts. / It was painted with acrylic on canvas. The original is approximately 13(cm)x18(cm). / It was painted on 14 July 2006. This was my first attempt at a vintage nude! I am a great fan of vintage nude art work; photography and paintings.

This series of panaramas was taken with a handmade camera using 120 film. The eccentric nature of the image is probably down to the eccentric nature of the camera! My father made it for me out of painted panels of MDF and a bit of twiddling …. oh and really nice Mamiya 1:6.3, 65mm lens. This is one of my favourite driveby images in the city hub. Its looking back towards the city and at the Redfern Housing Commission Blocks at the back edge of Redfern and Surry Hills. If you look really closely you will see a tiny little Centrepoint Tower next to the smallest of the tower blocks. Just over to the right of that in the sky is a tiny little dot which is actally a helicopter flying a huge Aussie flag. Because of the size and quality of the negative, if this was blown up to mural size you would be able to see the all the details on the flag and the helicopter. I would estimate this negative to be the equivent of around 250-300 megapixels. Film will never die! The colour balance is what happened when I scanned it and I love it . It seems to suit the other worldly sense of place in this image. I hope you guys like it too. Below is a thumbnail of some Dad’s camera’s His camera always produced much better photo ’s technically than mine but I maintain that the mistakes I made with mine made for a more interesting image :) /
A waratah in Sydney’s Blue Mountains. On this particular trip there were quite a few in full bloom. Laden with canyoning gear (and my trusty SLR, a tripod and a flash) I managed to snap off a few shots without holding the group up too much.
Taken at Bateau Bay on the Central Coast, about two hours north of Sydney (by train or drive). Just gorgeous colours <3>
I love the challenge of street photography – seeing something in everyday things we would normally walk by. Its also a way I find to take my mind of my “day job” and use the other side of my brain. This was taken during one of my strolls camera in hand through Sydney CBD. Photo Taken: 04-Sep-2007 / Time: Lunchtime / Conditions: Sunny day / / / / / / / This image was chosen a finalist in My Sydney Now competition ...which I was quite stoked about :D / / / / / Some other street art: / / / / / / /

BEST VIEWED LARGER A HDR learning curve it didnt really work out as I expected but in a way it ended up a bit abstract, colours and light and different
a longer shot of this punk goddess in the middle of an installation/exhibition by the artist Michael Hill at a place called Art Unit in Alexandria….. this was taken in the summer of 1983. Have you ever wondered how hard it must be to be a punk in the searing Sydney summer heat….. the resources needed to keep the ‘do’ looking swell….. just a thought….
BEST VIEWED LARGER No Filters, No Colour Enhancement, Just a Magic Moment and the wonders of HDR photography and wonderful sunset , great light and clouds . This shot was taken at Newport Wharf which is located on the shores of Pittwater north of Sydney. Easily accessable by car or public transport. Its the kind of place where you can wind down at the end of the day with a cold beer or a glass of Australian Chardonnay and watch the sun set in the west.. This is my neighbourhood about 5 minutes from my home, “Just a Little Touch of Paradise.” we get some great sunsets ! / So if youre visiting Sydney areas like this are within 40 klms of the city Nikon D70 3 bracketted images , hand held, NO FILTERS NO COLOUR MANIPULATION just pure HDR Framed / / See Also
This a drawing I did of my kitty, Misty 28.05.06 using soft pastels on a3 paper.
sometimes I get up real early in the morning and go and watch the sun come up over the ocean…. sometimes all I get is very tired by the afternoon and sometimes I get to see the sky on fire…. shot with fujichrome 400 at around 5.30am or so one morning down on my local beach …. and this is straight from the scanner and is totally untouched by any Adobe product…the colour it is is the colour it was
one of the more serious swimmers from down my way battling it out with the elements at dawn in one of the ocean pools at my local beach….. such dedication…. it’s all I can do to stay upright and take the odd photo in the face of this turbulent yet silky silky sea…..

most mornings I get up early and walk down to the sea to bath in the extraordinary light and watch the sun come up over the Pacific Ocean….. sometimes I just watch the day come to life but sometimes I swim in the dawn light and then go home all sandy and goosebumps to drink some tea and read the newspaper….it’s my own private churchy type thing and this small series of shots from this morning are being uploaded so you can share that experience….. well this is the last one in the series…. from this point the reality of the day kicks in and I leave this picture perfect little local place and go home to start the business of the day…. but hey this is just soooo much better than morning telly….. enjoy my little walk on the beach at dawn coz I sure as hell know I do…..
a quick tee shirt to go with the three images I’ve just posted…. all of them are out takes from a book made a long time ago called… Dementoids First Song Book…..

MUCH BETTER VIEWING EXPERIENCE VIEWED LARGER Thanks for dropping in your viewings,comments and if i’m lucky FAVOURITES are greatly appreciated. The Queen Victoria Building is currently undergoing a facelift at $37.5 / million , one of the features is upgrading the paintwork to victorian period colours. This image shows “The Grand Staircase* of Sydneys Grand Queen Victoria Building, and is an example of how grand old buildings can be restored ans still be used as money making concerns, in this case a grand shopping experience The Queen Victoria Building, now affectionately known as the QVB, was designed by George McRae and completed in 1898, replacing the original Sydney markets on the site. Built as a monument to the long reigning monarch, construction took place in dire times, as Sydney was in a severe recession. The elaborate Romanesque architecture was specially planned for the grand building so the Government could employ many out-of-work craftsmen – stonemasons, plasterers, and stained window artists – in a worthwhile project. Originally, a concert hall, coffee shops, offices, showrooms, warehouses and a wide variety of tradespeople, such as tailors, mercers, hairdressers and florists, were accommodated. The QVB fills an entire city block bound by George, Market, York and Druitt Streets. The dominant feature is the mighty centre dome, consisting of an inner glass dome and an exterior copper- sheathed dome. Glorious stained glass windows and splendid / architecture endure throughout the building and an original 19th century staircase sits alongside the dome. Every detail has been faithfully restored, including arches, pillars, balustrades and the intricate tiled floors thus maintaining the integrity of the building. / The visual message of Sydney’s coat of arms, on the cartwheel stained glass window, is that the beehive depicts business, the sailing ship – trade, and the dolphins – the harbour. Panel 1, on the left hand side, represents the Council of the City of Sydney, and symbols of architecture, while the letters I.G.B. on panel 3, on the right, represent Ipoh Gardens Berhad, the Malaysian company who restored the QVB. The symbols are of property developers – the builders. The bottom central panel represents the heraldic symbol of a finished building and the joining of two hands denotes the fusing of two cultures. There are many interesting and charming exhibitions and attractions throughout the building, along with portraits of the Queen. There is also a letter from Queen Elizabeth II to the Citizens of Sydney to be opened and read by the Lord Mayor of Sydney in the year 2085. Outside the QVB, on Town Hall Place, facing The Town Hall are the Royal Wishing Well and Queen Victoria’s statue.
