Tree: volume I series

Taken on a corner in an affluent outer Sydney suburb. It's graphic, yet the organic nature of the subject manner I felt added something to it. Continuing to follow the rule that there is nothing that can't be abstracted

Bill Henson [link] did a bunch of work on moody landscapes at night but nothing this abstract and up close.

Le Tour series

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], who unbeknownst to me, who did pretty much the same thing, longer exposures of moving images.

A different take on the 2010 Tour de France. I like the interplay of objectivity (by me) and subjectivity (of the original camera operator), allowing for a reinterpretation of past events.   

Sirens series

The sirens call goes out, but how often is it heeded, when in the eye of the storm? 

Abstractions of specular reflections coming off the Yarra River in Melbourne, taken near the Victorian Arts Center, Melbourne using a long time exposure and various camera movements. All images were shot in camera no layering in Photoshop for these puppies. But does that make the final result any better? Now there is opening a can of worms.

The series takes a liberal dose of Mark Rothko [link], Jackson Pollock [link] and Andreas Gursky's Bangkok series [link].

Before the Crowd series

Cloud Gate [link] created by Anish Kapoor [link] is located in Millennium Park Chicago.

Pretty much every image I've ever seen of this sculpture is with people in it so wanted to photograph it early in the morning when nobody was around or would get in the shot. I love how people truly interact with this sculpture as judged by the many hand prints on the surface which is the true sign for me of public art.

reflections have been used by a bunch of artist more notably Judtith Turner [link] and Andreas Gursky in his Bangkok series [link]
