For Sale…
Encouraged by the popularity of the long-exposure Pier series at ipernity, I have taken the plunge and made the 4 images available as prints.
You can see (and buy) them here at Photoshelter.

Sometimes it Just Doesn’t Work
Usually I don’t mind it so much if a planned photographing session doesn’t produce usable results because I generally learn something in the process; but not always.
I have just spent a very frustrating day trying to photograph a glass. The book Light: Science & Magic has a very good chapter on how to light glass. [...]
By the Light…
As anyone who has been following my photography on Flickr and Ipernity would know, empty early morning streets is a theme I return to often.
Part of the reason is that I walk through the city on my way to work; usually sometime around 7.30 am. This gives me a good opportunity for photography.
I also like [...]
The Top Twelve Project
Just before Christmas I read two blog posts on the same day. They were both about photography, by different photographers coming from different perspectives. But both posts made the same point: when trying to attract the attention of a potential client, or just people who might be interested in your work, less is more.

The War of Art
Resistance is Futile…
A little while ago I bought the excellent book ‘The Wart of Art‘ by Steven Pressfield. It is an excellent little book that examines the main problem that artists and writers have: sitting down and being arty and writy.
As a photographer and business writer with aspirations to become a ‘proper’ writer, I know [...]
An Exhibition…
Eight images from my Horsham series of photographs are now on display at the Breizoz Creperie at 139 Nelson Place, Williamstown, Victoria, Australia.
I took these images in the wheat country around Horsham in northern Victoria in early 2008. They show the results of a number of dry seasons on the landscape.
The images were printed on [...]

An Unintentional Project
In January I began carrying my camera with me as I walked to work. I decided it was a chance to take some photographs, even if they weren’t going to be very exciting. Nor was I going to cover a lot of ground as I only have a 15-minute walk.
However, after a few days I [...]
Things that Have Changed the Way I Think…
Shortly after joining Ipernity, I came across a very talented photographer from Iceland: Ragnheidur.
Her image collection included stunning images of the Icelandic scenery, mountains, desolate coastline, windswept plains. The images were often dark and made with very long exposures, giving them an eerie almost ghostly feel.
Frankly I was extremely jealous of her talent, her images [...]
