Taken in the bush near Alice Springs. Waiting for the sun to come up and saw this dead tree and just had to take a shot with all the colours behind it.

Sitting, waiting for the others in a church in Northern Rwanda, my eyes wandered, taking in the room. To tell the truth I was tired and bored and in need of a day off. Over the other side of the room sat this young man, alone. I’m not sure what he was doing there. Waiting for his Mother maybe? I wondered, should I take a shot? If he saw me it could be really uncomfortable. I mean I was really close and I couldn’t pretend I was photographing anyone else. Anyway I thought, ‘I’ll sneak a shot in.’ So, I raised the camera and started to muck around with the shot. And then he looked up. I cringed behind the lens and just sat there, frozen. He didn’t divert his gaze. For several seconds we stared at each other me on one side of the camera, him on the other. Finally I pressed the shutter. His expression remained exactly the same. I lowered the camera and returned his stare, this time with no mechanical device between us. It sounds corny but something travelled between us. An absolute realisation that we were right there, in the same place at the same time. He didn’t dismiss me or put me down. He stood right on the same level. It was unique.

To give an indication of the sheer size and scale of this cloud mass, on the bottom right of this image there are some full-sized pine trees and that small white dot next to them is a huge lighthouse sitting on the end of an island. . . Digital Camera

Going through old photos, there’s a lot of things I overlook. I always liked the texture in this but I was never sure of it (like most things). We’ll see if it stays.

Inspired by the iconic ‘Decisive Moment’ by Cartier-Bresson
-
I always wanted replicate what Henri Cartier-Bresson captures in his photojournalistic photographs – the decisive moment – but instead in sport. The decisive moment in this sense, is a moment that will only disintegrate in seconds or two into an ordinary depiction of a football game, but forever existing through this photograph. AFL can be great to capture moments like these, as it’s often too fast for the observer to recgonize what’s happening when watching it in real life – in motion. I wanted to freeze this moment and make it almost tangible, so a recogonition and then a response could be made; this is even more apparent as I captured the photograph with a relatively fast shutter speed, so the rain drops are also frozen in mid-air. I also captured it in at an awkward time: the player with his arm stretched out has just hit the ball, but in the photo the ball isn’t visible, so instead it looks as though he attempted to punch the other player in the head (calum laughs)

I gave a lesson on subject of my expertise when I began my teaching degree, as we all did. Mine was digital media, and how to use a digital camera. The brief I gave my ‘students’ was to do a Jeffery Smart type image. I demonstrated this using a little tiny digital auto camera-you can get good stuff out of them-it’s just knowing how. I was pretty happy with this, and I love Jeffery Smart. (all about lighting and composition) [side note] Have you seen one of his painting in the flesh? I love the composition and colours-but they are so scratchy! Didn’t expect that. Not lush, as the colours imply-they looks better reproduced. [another side note] I’m glad he doesn’t give in to conjecture about what his work means-it his style, and it works. anyhoo enjoy

A moment in time, a decision to narrate

A cynical piece of poetry describing a decision that Americans must make in the upcoming election, by deciphering song bites; that has been filtered by pundits and news commentators alike, but have a glimmer of hope in the light at the end of the tunnel.

An Important Decision
by Danny PeggIf she spoke these words, she would be going against everything she truly believed in.
For “In The Moment”.... this is one important moment, where the mould is broken.

She Did Not See the Sky
by cynichicThe first few drops of rain landed softly on her fingers, buried now in her hair. Beneath those long fingers her brain hummed with fever…
