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.
As a parting remark by a college principle, I was told that he would look forward to the day that he saw my work hanging in MoMA. As such, I wasn’t quite sure how to take the remark. Was it final and long overdue gatekeeper validation of my clear artistic genius, or a form of mild mocking, better placed in a high school playground of false hope? I'll leave it up for you to decide. If you do actually see any of this stuff at MoMA in the future, my apologies in advance.

Fissure

![]() |
Series of images taken from my reflections upon The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. The space in it's repetition and shear density of blank sarcophaguses creates a sense of weight that cannot be escaped but only confronted. Would recommend any visitor to Berlin to experience this memorial and take some time to reflect on those lost to needless hatred.

Trevi - A
I think a lot of the challenge of photography is about finding a way in. Once you find your way in the photography takes care of itself. Case in point went to the Trevi fountain in Rome arguably one of the most photographed fountains in the world. Walked around it trying to find a way in seeing something that caught my eye or peaked my interest. Besides focusing on a Martin Parr style take on the massive sea of tourist just left without getting the camera out. After taking some thought about it and go to my fallback position abstract the crap out of things, so went there at night time and focused on the specular reflections off the water. Not sure what the cops thought about me using a long lens but whatever.
Little from column A a little from column B. focusing on specular reflections from street lighting around the fountain.
So A was at night and then B was during the day.
