I know I don’t usually do works like this but i thought it looked pretty cool. There was this really interesting sculpture by the water and i shot it straight on, It was a boring perspective. So I tried a few ways and in time i got to this, it was the shot i was looking for. As our tempers rise war is born, war with ourselves, war with others or war with war, it is all trouble. Trouble begets more trouble so the key is to never encourage it in the first place. I think we have lost. / (made this into Trouble ) Featured in / Nikon DSLR Users Group / C.O.R.E / Your Magic Place / Lifeline Nikon D90 Up for voting on JPG Mag.com Check it out and Just click Vote Here

This place is really starting to bum me out. Censorship…or should i say censorshit! Now the RB front page caused quite a stir recently…gosh, i hate when art causes a stir…and makes people feel or want to respond, geez…made to think or challenged, how dare you! If RB has one flaw, it attracts a proportion of its audience that is apathetic and passive. This is because of the very nature of being able to see art and the world from the safety of your lounge room through that anonomous eyepiece that is your monitor. Don’t get me wrong, it also has a lot of positives in this too, but this is the inherent duality. I do understand that there is always a line that must be drawn i appreciate that, a line that has consent and the like within it for sure… but it should be a liberal line and should include questioning existence. The recent Bill Henson (art vs pornography) issue showed us this. In the end not everyone saw eye to eye on the issue…yes, as if that wasn’t inevitable… but the law defined that nothing illegal was within his work and it was returned. Let us ALL make equitable laws and even allow them to be challenged. Then when something is deemed illegal, sure it gets stomped on. But let us not apologise for raising questions or it will become the damning evidence to our extinction…reflecting our lack of acceptance and flexibility. I’m sure it is extremely hard to find the line to draw in the sand because at the end of the day you can’t please everybody. Hence subcultures are created and in this macro environment on RB, things such as the groups formed. Now if RB is to be inclusive ALL these groups must have the opportunity to be represented in areas such as the front cover. Now i do seem to recall an overtly patriotic American front cover on…hmm… was it the fourth of july… at a guess? Patriotism is often used as a powerful tool that allows governments to NOT have do things such as conscription or national service. But you didn’t see the people who are anti war jumping up and down. The irony is that if the front page on RB was anti war and people are complaining?! Why? Do you support war? People made five main things clear in Peters thread with his apology. 1. Most people were in support of the said homepage, well those who took the time to respond and want to see homepages like this thrown into the general mix. If one day the whole front is religious, i’m sure these same people won’t be complaining. I say don’t stand for one, stand for all! 2. Some people argued that it was anti the Iraq war. Who exactly is for war? One comment even said this is a senseless war in their defence of removing the front page. Surely you would be for the messages being shown then? Stop this senselessness. 3. And saddest of all, another view was don’t offend your audience…your market. WTF?! Governments get dictated too by capitalism…and its called corruption. And not to mention along with this view, there were suggestions we not make art about religion, war or politics. Now call me crazy but i suggest we don’t stop making art about war, religion or politics but instead we learn to be more accepting that others may have a different view to that of our own. I don’t want to be a part of a site purely about flowers and sunsets. Perhaps we should burn down the Sistine chapel as it art supports the Christian belief system. Religion goes right back to the roots of art…and will always have its place in art. And who is going to destroy Picasso’s Guernica as it was a social comment about the civil war. Should he have been silenced? We have voices so we can use them. We may never see eye to eye, but the least we can do is listen and accept the views of others. Not shout them down. That breeds dictatorships. Art is not and should not be allowed to be dictated by the American bible belt, patriotism, capitalism, political agendas or radicals. Art should be used to embrace personal expression… even some expressions and ideas that you or i may not agree with, to which you create a constructive dialogue around. Its NOT about conversion…but rather honestly being open minded and willing to accept or reject new ideas. Listening and looking at the art and ideas of your peers! Thinking! Finally, maybe art should be not about money! Because when money is the main motivation for creating then all this shit is stirred up as in most things in life. I choose to offend the audience at times, while at others i may nurture them. If this artwork offends anyone that is American…then talk to me about it. But keep in mind YOUR constitutional right to free speech! This artwork is a response to the Anti Iraq war images being apologised for on the front page. There are just as many people who think the reason for the war on Iraq was motivated by other reasons such as oil and power. And i have not seen one work showing a soldier with blood on his hands… because the people making these artworks know its is the governments and large bodies/groups with power and sway, responsible not the individuals serving their countries. My artwork here is about how agendas get hijacked, due to money and power, etc. And America is the current symbol for this issue to me. In the past it may have been the british empire, rome and others. In the future it might go to new players. But right now America is the symbol i associate with. And i target not the people in a rascist manner, rather the countries policies. So if you like this artwork tell me, and if you don’t tell me also why not, i would like to hear your views. But don’t try and censor free speech! ps- if you got through this well done! i feel much better now! Have a nice day!!! ; )

This 8” x 10” weaving in a handmade frame is “Brigid’s Loom”. It is pasticcio of fibers, yarn, ribbon, and handmade papers woven through wires colored with alcohol inks and then twisted when taken off the loom. The frame is a foamcore piece gessoed, layered with molding paste, handmade paper, acrylic paints, and embellished with small beads. It is part of a series of about 20 pieces in a similar vein.

This image was the Monochrome challenge winner in the West Virginia group challenge on March 16, 2009. On March 16, 2009 this image was featured in the West Virginia group. On July 12, 2009 this image was featured in The Heartland group. The Brinegar Cabin at Milepost 258 on the Blue Ridge Parkway in West Virginia. The Brinegar Cabin is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This cabin was originally settled by Martin Brinegar in 1885. His wife, Caroline, brought along her mother’s four-poster weaving loom, which is still located on the site. The Brinegars occupied the cabin until 1935 when the land was purchased for construction of the Blue Ridge Parkway. The cabin was preserved, along with Mrs. Brinegar’s 100+ year old loom which is used for craft and weaving demonstrations during the summer months. Guided nature walks and discussions, led by park rangers, are also available. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Please don’t copy or download this image.

This is a loom, left behind in the arts and crafts room of this abandoned school. By the looks of it someone was halfway through a piece when the school closed.

I had to visit a village in Fuia, Nadia, West Bengal, India, where handloom weaving was being done as a part of our college field visit. Spinning and weaving were the main sources of income for the locals. / The types of fabric produced included cotton, lots of silk, less of wool and very rare synthetic. Every house had two or three weaving hand looms. Also they had fabric and thread available for sale. This picture shows one such shop with loads of silk thread. It reminds me of past “Silk Route” studied in history, in which India also was a leading business centre. Till now the traditional silk weaving continues in numerous parts of the country.

The Storm The storm looms overhead, pounding rain, hail, lighting & thunder. There may be a tornado headed in this direction. Trouble threatens everyone. In my distress I turned & called out to God my Father in heaven. And God saved me, He was my only hope. / Anyone can call out to God, then follow his way so you will be safe. Psalm 18: 11-21 Psalm 18:11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. / Psa 18:12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and bolts of lighting. / Psa 18:13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hailstones and coals of fire. / Psa 18:14 Yes, he sent out his arrows of lighting, and scattered them; and he shot out lightning. / Psa 18:15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils. / Psa 18:16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters. / Psa 18:17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them, which hated me: for they were too strong for me. / Psa 18:18 They confronted me in the day of disaster: but the LORD was my support. / Psa 18:19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he rescued me, because he delighted in me. / Psa 18:20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands has he rewarded me. / Psa 18:21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God. We can all turn to God & be washed clean of all we have done wrong, we can be made righteous by the blood of the lamb, God’s son Jesus Christ.We can turn from our wicked ways & have a clean slate with God. Christ paid the price for us. Jesus took our punishment on the cross. He made us victorious with him in the new life when he conquered death. He sent us the promised Holy Spirit so we can live with power, now. Thank you God for this victory through Christ Jesus, Amen. I was blind, sinful & stupid once but now my eyes are open my friend. Now I walk in the gracious mercy of God. I listen to him & I am changed from the inside out. / I know no matter what storm looms over head, God is with me & will never leave me.

another image from my ‘lost film’ set of dawn shots taken around the harbour and lighthouse on Flagstaff Hill in Wollongong…. these were shot with fijichrome 400 just after 5am a couple of months ago…. I sent them of to be processed with some other films about three or so months ago and only got them back yesterday…. and I am very well pleased with that strange turn of events….. I’ve shot this lovely gothic lighthouse a few times before in many different types of conditions and using different types of film…. in black and white like this one or like this one in full colour neg film or like this one and this one in Infrared…. and I do mean Infrared… as in Kodak HighSpeed B/W Infrared Film… no photoshop trickery with these shots…. just get up early and get going with a themos of tea and a couple of SLR’s for company…..

Sunrise on Bull Island off the coast of SC. Quite a rare treat to see a sunrise here as ferries don’t leave that early for tours. I got lucky as the colors were nice to me that day. The branches are actual trees that were part of a forest that used to grow right up to the beach line but have since died due to erosion. The starkness of the “bones” made for some interesting shadow treatments.
