  • Dog Rocks . Like Liquid

    Dog Rocks . Like Liquid

    Liquid rocks and sky, the granite worn down over millennia.

    Since I published this.. This particular photo has appeared in Flickr Explore. The strange addictive algorithm that highlights “Interest”. a hover too long, a double take, a moment spent in reflection, perhaps.

    The day was not a great one for dramatic photos and the subject was a pile of rocks but this place has a history that predates some entire continents creation. There are not many places in the world you can see granite worn away by time to the shape of waves and water.

    I will return to the Dog Rocks .

  • Weight of Air

    Weight of Air

    Oh look it hit Flickr Explore… Grassland bleached white, no edits, no erasures. Just a Summicron’s honest frame:40 degree heat, and a tree built to outlast us. Close to the solstice on the 21st of December.

    This image featured on Flickr Explore but was never intended as anything but a print. This is a 24×36″ Giclée limited edition signed print.

    Social media rewards bright, sparkly, and highly saturated images but they are hard to live with. This would look good in a room where you want some calm.

    This 24x36" Giclée print on smooth peal photo paper. Single Gumtree on a hot day.

  • Old Black Dog. His experience shows.

    Old Black Dog. His experience shows.

    His eyes may not me as bright, he may not be putting on a show for the human but this black and white image shot late in the day on a Leica APO 60mm . Selected for Flickr Explore

    black and white image of an old black dog. A moment to himself, interrupted. The eyes show experience and are a little cloudy, his whiskers are grey . He looks mean because he is a pit bull but his gentle nature shines thorough.

  • View of Melbourne from Altona

    View of Melbourne from Altona

    I was passing though Altona (as you do) and it was low tide allowing me to see around the corner to the city. You will notice a red sign. In the olden days ( last year) I would have edited this out, but it’s important that my photos show reality and not some AI fever dream.

  • A snapshot of the coast

    A snapshot of the coast

    Saltbush, pigface and others make this a vibrant photo. It’s simple and was overlooked on the first cut. It’s one of those photos that needs to be printed.

    Evening walks with my camera

    My job as a photographer is to make you look good, to document your event, make your product or food look amazing. This blog is not commercial, it’s not about trying to sell you something. This was taken on the tiny Leica Dlux7 . It constantly amazes me. The quality of the images it produces are really a class above anything I would expect from a compact camera.
