Reconstruction

                              

Long time exposure taken from a ropeway car going up to the summit of Mt Inasa, was getting too dark and didn't have a tripod so just played around with the light. Stunning views of Nagasaki, a city with a dark but also bright history and future.  

State Transference series

The theory of State Transference goes that we pass our mood onto those around us. Basically smile and the 

whole world smiles with you [link]. I think imagery can have the same effect, just as music can. 

After seeing one of the works of Madz Rehorek [link] of the sea at night time and it just transferring a calmness over me, I understood it. The series also takes a liberal dose of Mark Rothko [link], Jackson Pollock [link] and Andreas Gursky's Bangkok series [link]. 

specular reflections off Bass Strait taken off a cliff at Point Road Knight, on new years eve. All taken in camera using long time exposure and camera movements no Photoshop required. Light painting 101. 

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].
