Taken on Saturday evening, February 7th, near Geelong after a day of record-breaking temperatures (47.6 C or 118 F) and, tragically, the worst bushfires in our state’s history with towns virtually wiped out, hundreds of homes lost and, as I write, a death toll of 28 which is expected to rise when rescuers enter areas which were unreachable during the firestorm. I felt voyeuristic and very sad capturing this brilliant sunset caused by so much disaster just a hundred or so kilometres away. I only hope that those who are missing are found alive and that those who have suffered tragedy will somehow find the strength to rebuild their lives. A testament to my elderly parents who lost their home and everything they owned in the 1983 Ash Wednesday bushfires and a tribute to their resilience in starting again.
I HOPE THAT THIS GROUP OF WORK HAS AN AFFECT ON ANYONE THAT HAS LOST ANYONE LOVED. ON OCTOBER 4, MY BROTHER DAVID ALEN, WAS FOUND DEAD IN HIS APARTMENT. DAVID WAS 45 YEARS YOUNG, AND HAD FOUGHT AIDS FOR 19 YEARS. DAVID WAS BEAUTIFUL, BRILLIANT, ACADEMIC AND MOST OF ALL SO VERY HUMAN. DAVID WAS GAY. WHY DOES THIS EVEN NEED TO BE MENTIONED. MY PHOTOGRAPHS AND WORDS, I CAN ONLY HOPE WILL TRY TO EXPLAIN. IT IS 2007, I BELIEVE, ISN’T IT. KNOW THIS MY BROTHER WAS LOVED, AND ALWAYS WILL BE. DAVID WAS GAY. THIS IS ALL ABOUT HUMANITY, AND WHERE CAN IT BE FOUND. cannon5D / 28-105 / 1250 iso / no flash / -1 ex
I’ve wanted to do this photo for the longest time now. Until now I never met anyone who could be a convincing Helen of Troy who was reputed to be the most beautiful woman on earth. A woman two nations would fight over. This is my interpretation.
Illustration based on the tragedy, Pyramus and Thisbe. Medium: Indian ink + Pantone markers.

Over this past summer I have been infatuated with a run down farmhouse. It’s condition left much to the imagination. The old farmhouse is about a 2 hour drive from my house and whenever the opportunity arose to photograph it… I came running. I had the opportunity to photograph it 3 times this summer. / / Every time I see the old house my imagination gets going. I took all these images before I knew of its history. / / Well I finally got some confirmation on its history. / / So here it is: / / Originally I thought the history of this house belonged to another house fairly close to this one…. but I was wrong. This old farmhouse used to house a family of 4. The husband had been away for some time (working) and when he had returned home he found his wife in bed with another. His wife ended up taking the children and leaving him. It wasn’t long after this that the husband when downstairs and shot & killed himself. The house had since been boarded up and left to the elements. It is in a very small community so no one wanted to live in the house after the tragic events. / / It is a very tragic story and it just got me thinking that so often we come across these finds and to us they are just great images that stir our imaginations but to some they are tragic memories. I wonder how many more of our shots hold a story. I will not return to this old homestead… somehow it just wouldn’t feel right, now that I know its sad story. / / Here are the images I took of the Farmhouse… / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /

Bonnie Lolita is a shy and reserved girl. Since birth, she has only a few friends. Her parents died in a tragic car accident 2 years ago. Bonnie Lolita was then sent to an orphanage. The children in the orphanage shun her because she looks different and weird. Many did not want to play with her or talk to to her. Bonnie Lolita has been bruised and scarred by many of her life events, this peer rejection reopens those wounds. She constantly asks herself this,”Is there anyone out there who will love and take me as I am?” /

This is one of my favorite traditional media paintings I made earlier in the year.
Cliff Simple’s last moments on Earth, spent accelerating towards a spiky-rock-induced death. And now, you can immortalize his dying moments on a t-shirt. You can tell of his tragic tragedy. He was really just a normal accountant, you see. A normal man pushed… just a little too close to the edge. Pushed by his boss, his society, and that mysterious man in the trenchcoat… ;)
