This photo achieved a highly commended status in the 2007 ANZANG: Nature and Landscape Photographer of the Year Award. Ironically the key factors in this photograph were all negative ones, bad weather, poor light, a pitiful ski season, and a less than ideal time to go. As a teacher I only have the opportunity to go ski touring in the school holidays which is either side of the best part of the ski season. Usually this means that I have to travel to the Main Range in NSW which is a fair hike from my home in Melbourne to get to any snow. I had spent the previous day skiing out from Thredbo to the ice covered Lake Albina and as this season had not been overly good the cover was quite patchy. The day I took this shot I had planned to ski up Australia’s second and eighth highest summits, Mt Townsend and Alice Rawson Peak but the weather had produced white out conditions on the heights so by default I ended up skiing below the cloud cover in Lady Northcote’s Canyon. Not too far from my camp I saw these icicles high up a cliff on the Gorge wall. Being alone and so far from assistance should anything go wrong I was in two minds as to whether I should attempt to get to them or not. On three occasions in the most difficult spots I reassessed this decision but the closer I got the better they looked so imprudence won out the day and fortunately nothing went wrong. I don’t know whether it was my presence or the icicles time had come, but after getting two frames off the whole structure collapsed, fortunately the shots came out well. The other element of serendipity was the poor light, in better conditions the icicles would have been dazzlingly bright mitigating any chance of capturing detail in their delicate structure. I have been back to this same spot on two occasions since then to try and recapture this scene with a tripod and better gear but the trips occurred in better conditions resulting in the entire slope having a good cover of snow and therefore no icicles. The fleeting nature of these sorts of scenes is one of the things I love about photography; you can literally eternalise unrepeatable scenes, be it icicles, a sunset or patterns in the sand, what a gift. Sold two framed 12”x18” of this a little beauty. For other shots from this area check out my Kosciuszko gallery.

Thought I’d post one of my rare shots from the other side of the lens. This campsite is at Lake Albina at the head of Lady Northcotes Canyon which is a days skiing away from Thredbo in Kosciuszko National Park, NSW. When I got to Albina to my surprise I found a small patch of snow free ground which although extremely exposed to the weather I never the less decided to camp on. Avoiding the usual icy cold tent floor I thought would be worth the potential hazard of camping in such an exposed spot. The view was also incredible my Muellers Peak and Watsons Crag Sunset pictures being taken from this vantage point. As it turned out the weather that night was very mild (for the mountains). The next night however was a different story with the wind picking up I thought I’d try and stick the campsite out by building a snow wall to protect the tent. I hadn’t built one of these before I’d just seen them in books and after a lengthy construction program I was fairly happy with my tent high, 5m long wall. I had dinner and retired to the tent upon which the wind just got stronger and stronger and stronger shaking the tent like a leaf and causing an enormous amount of noise as the nylon fluttered violently back and forth. After putting so much effort into building my wall I felt committed to sticking it out and didn’t think I’d find an area that would be much more sheltered than this anyway and besides that moving is an enormous hassle so I stayed put. This attitude of course simply prolonged the inevitable and finally at 1:30am I got sick of not sleeping because of my gyrating tent and decided to go to the effort of packing up all my gear and finding a more sheltered spot. When I got out of the tent I was staggered to see that the warm low land air (it didn’t feel real warm to me but the snow wall seemed to disagree), had completely melted my wall. All that was left was a few white remnants on the ground cover. Going to the lee side of the knoll, a scant 200m from my former location I found a sheltered and windless spot on a steep slope, the wind was non existant, I couldn’t believe it. After about an hour digging a snow platform on the steep slope and setting up my tent and sleeping gear I finally flopped into bed quickly succumbing to the effects of the sandman. The next morning was a complete white out so thick that shortly after donning my pack and skis I skiied straight off a snow cliff oblivious to its existance until I found myself with my face in the snow pack on top of it and my skiied feet a few feet in altitude above that. Needless to say I was a little more careful after that. When I reached Rawsons Pass just below Mt Kosciuszko the wind was so strong that all I had to do to continue was spread my arm and let the wind blow me along at a good jogging pace. From here on, the white-out conditions necessitated great care in navigating over this almost featureless expanse. It is quite bizarre to walk in daylight yet for the light to offer about as much help as a moonless night. In these conditions I seemed to loose all perspective on how far I’d travelled and in what direction I was going. I combined the twin errors of thinking I was going in a straight line, when I was in fact gradually following the few exposed boulders and the lie of the land through an arc of ninety degrees, with optimistic distance estimates; how far I wish I’d travelled as opposed to how far I had travelled. With this false data on my side I proceeded to interpret the lie of the land with the contours on my map in all sorts of wonderful ways making myself thoroughly confused in the process. Eventually however I sorted it out and found a few known landmarks eventually dropping below the cloud cover and descending the correct spur off the Ramshead Range down to Dead Horse Gap with an appropriately large blister from my (at the time) hired XC ski boots. The cycle of mountain weather seems to always guarantee horrible conditions in payment for any good weather. The fine weather however results in some of the most sublime experiences a nature lover could desire, well worth the hardships required to enjoy them.

‘Dreams of a Northcote Rockstar’ designed as a b’day gift for my rock God housemate and Dreamer ‘Chris Tracey’, I was hoping to find you a magical shredding pick…but hey…for air guitarists, people who stage-dive off bunk beds and for people who sing falsetto in the shower…

Mish- mashed (that’s a technical term) toy camera and digital shots- can’t resist this place…I’ve never been in it, but I go past it on the tram in High St Northcote a LOT, and the name plus the wacky old worldy look it has,gets me every time.

Merri Creek is at the end of my street in Northcote. In spring the yellow and white flowers bloom in this swathe of green that snakes its way through inner-city Melbourne. In this shot it looks as though I live on the edge of an enchanted forest… Taken with a Holga 120CFN and cross-processed Fujichrome Provia 100F (and untouched by digital trickery).
