this is actually a very big hill and they are trees not bushes to give you a better sense of the scale of the image. If you look closely there are some people in this picture. Unusual for me in my landscape work. see if you can spot them. did I mention that this is an infrared photo ? just in case you hadn’t worked it out. :) this is it framed

yesterday I attemped to have a conversation with someone about what consitutes a ‘real photographer’. rather that respond he reacted by telling me I’m a negative psyhco bitch, the only bad thing about Redbubble and should hurry out to buy razor blades and kill myself. no shit! I guess this means I’ll never be a ‘real photographer’ so to celebrate my freedom from the label of ‘real’ I’ve decided to concentrate on posting some UNREAL photographs. Here’s the first. This is a chance shot taken while someone slept in the set of an alternative theatre production some years ago. Vale Peter your real to me still though you are no longer real in a corporeal sense.

another infrared image from the vaults that has been gently coloured to give it the emotional tone it needs. I shot this image and the ones that follow in the days after my father died. They were all taken while I wandered along the river Torrens in Adelaide near where he lived. This particular stretch of the river is particularly beautiful and was a place he loved to go walking with his cameras. So then this image is about memory and loss and also about redemption through beauty. / . /

another IR image from a few years back. This image was taken a while I strolled along the river Torrens in Adelaide a few days after my father died. It’s a very beautiful extended walkway that extends for some kilometres and backed on to where my father used to live. He would walk here with his thoughts and his cameras and produced some lovely work and this image is by way of a homage to him… to thank him for the gift of life and the great gift of sight he bequeathed me… and it was his great love of photography that gives me courage to take this medium on and make it the central focus of my life as an artist. / . /

the last of my memory photo’s for today. All these blue toned IR photographs were taken a few days after the death of my father while I wandered along the river Torrens in Adelaide. Here the sky, the clouds and the lush riverside foliage have become as one and as I gaze at this I remember that we are all one in the mysterious web of life. / . /

I’ve heard it said the the past is another country… and I can see that sometimes…. and with that in mind I’m going to post another blue day image… this is the river along the river Torrens in Adelaide where I took a very long walk a few days after my father had died. As sad and troubled by that event as I was, the peace I found in the lush riverside let me believe that there really are bridges we can find in life that take us to a different places…. literally and metaphorically…. walk in peace and cross the bridges in life that you find in confidence / . /

Back in the olden days if you wanted to get some interesting textures on to a model…. there was no photoshop about then infact it wasn’t even a twinkle in it’s inventors eye…so what you had to do was line up a lovely model and project interesting images over him or her…. like in these strange daze images I’m uploading. The images from this series turned up amongst some of my late fathers photographic archive which I’ve been endeavouring to sort out and digitize. I don’t know who the model is or why or when they were taken but the make up and hair on the model just shreaks ‘eighties’ to me…. so some love from way back when…. with thanks to my very very clever Dad…. enjoy / . /

Next upload from the Strange Daze series I’m working on at the moment.

another upload from this current series of strange daze images… they are all slide projections onto a living canvas and the analogue technology just works a treat / . / here’s a slightly cropped version of it and to be honest I can’t decide which one I like best / . /
-
it might be just the thing to wear your heart on your sleeve but it’s probably even better to wear your ninja on your heart…. another in a series of slide projection images from way back when sometime in the eighties…. / . /

there is just something so appealing about angels no matter where they turn up…. this is another of my series of slide projection photographs by my late father. They were most likely taken some time in the eighties and have never seen the light of day since. Lucky lucky me to find them hey and give them a little bit of an airing…. and this particular one is one of my favorites … well I have a couple of favs but this one really works for me…. the model and the image have really fused…. / . /
-
The next in my current series of uploads of models being the canvas of some slide projections. This particular image is oneof my personal favorites… it just emanates calm and peace…. the fusion between model and image is perfectly balanced. The images from this series turned up amongst some of my late fathers photographic archive which I’ve been endeavouring to sort out and digitize. I don’t know who the model is or why or when they were taken but the make up and hair on the model just shreaks ‘eighties’ to me…. so some love from way back when…. with thanks to my very very clever Dad…. enjoy / . /
-
the next in this particular set of images taken a very long time ago by my late father and they involve projecting slides on to a couple of models. this is the stripy look so popular all through the eighties. / . /
-
another hippy hippy flower power slide projection shot from my late fathers archive…. so all bright and colourful hippy daze from the eighties for you / . /
-
the next upload of a model lit by a slide projector taken sometime in the eighties by my late father. she looks like some fantastical far out creature that should be in a fairly tale….enjoy / . /
-
over the last couple of days I’ve been uploading some crazy wonderful images of a couple of models shot by the light of a slide projector that were taken by my late father some time in the eighties…. now I’m going to upload some of the portraits he took during this session starting with this one of a wonderfully crazed desert scene….and check out the girl’s make up… that sort of eyeliner action is just not seen much these days….. which is probably not a bad thing at all….. anyway enjoy / . /
-
David Bowie ….eat your heart out….. another portrait shot from the series of slide projection photographs taken by my late father. This so reminds me of the sort of make up David Bowie used to wear back in the days…... / . /
-
another crazy slide projection shot from the eighties….my parents would always tell us kids we would get square eyes if we watched too much TV…. and this then is what I imagine TV induced square eyes would look like…..enjoy / . / / .
-
and ancient classical painting of a wedding by …possibly Jan Vermeer?... although don’t quote me on that…. projected onto the model’s lovely heart shaped face….another of the ongoing series of image by my late father and dated at sometime in the seventies….. enjoy / . /
-
the next and very nearly the last upload of slide projections onto models taken by my late father with medium format film sometime in the eighties…. enjoy / . /
-
the next and almost last of the current series of slide projection shots that I’ve been uploading. I found all these images among my late fathers negatives and am thinking they are circa early 80’s…... so viva analogue and all that….. :) / . /
-
slightly late but no matter… this is the last … most likely anyway… image I’m going to post in this series of slide projection images taken by my late father sometime in the late eighties… this one is particularly odd I find … the orange that is projected onto her face really seems to be something else entirely….. yet it’s a straight shot and it’s all done in camera….. / . /

this is a calendar of beautiful girls lit by slide projections. it’s 100% analouge with no photoshop work involved in the production of the orginal images..

the skyline of Sydney Park is dominated by three huge old brick chimney stacks that locate the place from a time when it was a quarry and with kilns and a thriving brick making industry .. and there is one sweet spot where if you lie down on the grass and look straight up you can just get all three stacks in to the picture frame….like here… / . /
