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. 

Figure and Ground series

A study of sorts in figure and ground (both literally and metaphorically) out the back of the MFB Burnley station. Shot all in camera no layering in Photoshop invovled.  

I've walked past this scene coming back from the burnley bouldering wall many times over the last couple of years but just kept putting off. story of my life but I got there in the end and came away with some interesting results.

I think beauty can be found in the places that are often overlooked, it's just a matter of taking the time to look around and notice it, case in point.    

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.
