Here are some stories about my art photography. Most of these stories are about film based photos, primarily because I love the look and that I get with film. I also love the experience of shooting, developing and holding the film up to the light to previsualise how the finished image will look. Additionally, I like the way that shooting film feels like a different process to the photos I take for work. Digital photography has taken over for a reason, the quality, detail and level of light you can work in and create great shots is magic, but digital photography is magic like smart phones and the internet. Things that you just accept as here and working but only have a vague five minute understanding of. Film is magic because even though I have a good understanding of the technical process of manufacturing film, I know how to develop and have worked in labs processing film for other photographers, I am still amazed every time I pull a freshly developed roll off the spiral and hang it up to dry. That is magic.

Today we are going back, back to last century, back before children, two lifetimes ago you could even say. The other day I saw an ad for the Australian Moto GP 2023.

So the final stop on the road trip back to Melbourne was L...

Back with the next installment of photos from my Sydney trip in Feb. See part one here and part two here or use the previous post button at the bottom of this page. These photos are from a night time walk around the city streets, just a foot cruise, looking for things that I find interesting....

In the last post I showed some black and white shots of one of the cars which is for sure on the cool cars list. Here is the counter to all that monochromatic magic, some colour shots from the same shoot. Now I know that they are not actually technicolor which, of course, is a motion picture colou...

My previous post was about the last roll that I shot in 2022. The logical next step is to write about my first roll for 2023 so who can argue with logic? I did manage to get a break from work for a couple of weeks at Christmas and new years but I didn't go anywhere. There is always a lot to do aro...

So as graphic designer why have I made this blog about photography? It is about keeping myself excited and interested in things other than work. I am far from the worlds best photographer but it is something that I enjoy and that I want to more of and with than just sitting images in a box or fold...
