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
Completed in 2004, age 17 This is a slightly cropped version of the original, due to the limits of my camera. My original signature got cropped out so I had to insert a new one in photoshop; in the original it is not actually located there. Original size: (40” x 30”) The two subjects are posed in similar positions, each having a dark, circular central focus., Both images have lines above and surrounding the centres, which draw attention towards the centres. The vertical composition help strenghten the feeling of height given by the vertical lines. Both subjects are organic, however one, the eye, has straight lines and geometrical shapes, while the rose has curvy lines and organic shapes. In the eye, the centre is literally dark, while in the flower the darkness is created by shadows.

This is a wild crow that I handfeed on my back deck. Every year she has babies with her partner. Last year they had 3 and were quite worn out when they finally left home. At the moment they are feeding their new babies but they won’t bring them to me for another couple of weeks. The babies come to trust me very quickly. I have an affinity with birds.

Anthony Mancuso directed me to one of his photos last night A word from above that jogged my memory that I had taken a similar sunset two months earlier from Mt Martha. When I was taking this I expected to see a spaceship come down lol, hence the title.
A few months ago the State of Michigan was trying to pass a bill that would tax service based companies (as if this state didn’t have enough trouble, now its trying to eliminate any opportunity for any new business to relocate here). To help everyone concerned, the legislator published a long list of service’s that would be affected. Out of the hundreds of services, one came to my attention that, of course would directly impact me, that of the service of Phrenologist. / Now I know that not many people read the entire list and, since the bill did not pass (along with hundreds of other bills, like the state budget) I suspect that I must be the only practicing Phrenologist left to worry about such an outcome. True I am a bit more advanced in my profession than my predecessors, as I am a “ Kirlian Ultra Phrenologist “ or “ KUP ” for short, still I am taken aback that this state should single out such a severely depleted profession as mine for it’s grossly undermined tax base. / I fully understand that many still hold a prejudice against this career path for cutting off Mozart’s head however, I must point out that we did return it a little later (100 years later) after studying it carefully for any signs of “bump” genius. I also would point out that this act was not much different than that of da Vinci yanking out corpses to do his drawings or, some other early physicians to, ahem “ advance medical knowledge”. / I know too that the “winners” in history get to re-write it to reflect their own virtue, while castrating the losers to oblivion, or worse, implied villainy of the meanest kind (especially in western anglo-cized medicine (chiropractors notwithstanding)). My contention is though, that we, as a group of ” Phrenic Scientists “ were essentially correct in our basic understanding and concepts except we didn’t have “fancy MRI’s” or “Blood Flow Scans” or “BIO Feedback Wave Analysis” or “Computers” to pinpoint neuron centers of brain activity associated with love or, hate or genius, etc, etc, etc. / Now, of course, I singularly, have elevated this way beyond their mere colloquial ” silicone mechanical diagnoses “, to the transcending realm of true; “ Kirlian Associated Kuantum Encephalicalogy “ or ” KAKE “ for short. Therefore I humbly submit this graphic representation as one of my first attempts in “ Kirilin Transcendental Multidimensional Kuantum Phrenology 2008 “.
