Named after one of my favourite movies. Taken in Yarraville with my one of my photographic mentor’s, Lisa. We had security, the Po-lice, and customs patrolling as we photo’d the night away. I think the lens flare works in this, and the other bits of evening light flotsam and jetsam in the sky..
This shot is one of my favourites because it tells such a story. In the forground is a wallet being held by one of my colleagues Bart. He is buying the basket being held by the Rwandan woman in the middle of the shot. All eyes are on the transaction. This represents life and death in Africa as much as any other portrait. It is positive, but you can also feel the tension, the need, the hope. All proceeds to charity. I might even buy this myself. – Dog photography – Africa photography / - Beach photography - Black & white photography – Dog photography – Africa photography / - Beach photography - Monotone photography

I’ve had this image for a while and have been a little reluctant to upload it due to all the chatter that’s centred around quality and content. So in response to Natalie’s Forum I thought it was time to share. This was captured using a Sony Alpha 100 using a 75 – 300mm. I was walking the back alleys and laneways of Echuca when this little guy popped out, now he knew that pound for pound it was not going to be a fair fight (between me and him!) but he would’ve given me a run for my money!

This little bough of purple flowers seemed to go nicely with an old Irish Blessing, a favorite prayer of mine for a long time now.
Kilmainham Gaol, Dublin Kilmainham Gaol has played an important part in Irish history, as many leaders of Irish rebellions were imprisoned and some executed in the jail. The jail has also been used as a set for several films.

We all seek refuge during the storm. “On life’s journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is the light by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night. If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him.” / Buddha

I’m proud to report that this image is used as the cover-image for the 7-inch vinyl ‘Scars’ record by the Canadian punk/hardcore band called Damages / . / This is a fully detailed photo of a real piece of fencing in Weston-super-Mare. I couldn’t resist the paradoxically soft, curvy, lazy loops of unfriendly sharp razor-wire, sitting above the rigidly regular fence! I adjusted the image a little to keep that dark, dark background. / . / Thank you to the Just Lines Group and the Don’t Fence Me In Group for featuring this photo in 2008! / . / Many thanks to the Shapes & Patterns Group for featuring this photo, on July 9th 2009. / . / / .

Studies going as far back as that of Goethe in the early 1700s have understood that pale green – the colour of new plant growth – is the most psychologically positive and restful colour… So I wonder what the authorities were trying to do to the already fragile minds of patients locked in shocking pink, electric green, and custard yellow cells? The more I look at my shots, the more clues to inherent barbarity I begin see in the treatment of vunerable people.
The grand staircase, this time shot with only available light/mirk for a more unsettling ‘Silent Hill’ look. Just a little light tone mapping to avoid burn-out and retain shadow detail, otherwise this is all natural – including the small scrap of very blue wallpaper in the bottom left.
Well, at least the SECURITY department at Arkham has a better record than the REHABILITATION department… My second entry in the Batman Comp.

Infinity is a long time, especially towards the end. Quote by DAC Art can be viewed much like a dream: when we go to sleep, we do not plan what we will dream. Yet, when we awaken from the dream, sometimes we attempt to psychoanalyze the dream’s meanings and how they relate to our lives. In some cases, analyzing our dreams for meaning can help us better understand ourselves. Perhaps the same metaphor can be used for Surrealist art. Surrealist artists who created their paintings may not have consciously planned the images they would use; yet, as an audience, we attempt to evoke meaning from the images in order to make sense of what the artist’s intention was. Doing this, we make sense of human nature and the relativity of the world around us. Excerpt from: Surrealism Symbols of Relativity by Andrea Martin / I’ve always love the surrealists paintings about relativity and time. Below is a collection of Surrealists work about this theme.
