Base series

Subjects that I can graphically abstract, my eye always seems to be drawn to. Case in point, nothing more than the base of a floor on a construction site, that still had the protective tape on it. Like ripples in a stream. man-made mimicking nature.  

Pirates of the Caribbean - Hollywood series

The Hollywood series followed on from the Le Tour Series [link], as I looked for other outlets for the technique, such as news broadcasts in the 9/11 remembered series [link]. 

Looking into the role of  subjectivity and objectivity in creation of the final image.  

Pulling a John Cura [link] /Sugimoto [link] /Friedlander [link] with a healthy does of Thomas Ruff  [link] and Ernst Haas [link]. In mid 2012 I stumbled upon the Movies series by Fred Cray [link], during an excursion to the Cleveland Museum of Art [link],  who unbeknownst to me, who did pretty much the same thing, longer exposures of moving images.

The Cup series

We all leave signs of our presence in this world, while maybe not on the time scale that Russell Crow was banging on about in Gladiator but still it's there. Sometimes it goes unnoticed but when piled on piles of piles, it accumulates and makes it presence known, as is the case of overflowing rubbish bins.

This series was taken at The Melbourne Cup and if the marketing spin is to be believed the race that stops the nation. By the end of the days events the cup does runneth over in more ways than one.

I guess you could argue it's just a poor result of not empting out the brings at a faster rate, than which they are filling up, so that it goes unnoticed but maybe it's better for the presence to be known. But judging by most of the punters at the event it probably didn’t rate high on their list.

Trying to keep things objective in a Bernd Hilla and Becher [link] kind of way.
