Life skill No. 1 — the art of not taking things personally. Easier said than done. But essential, if we’re to navigate life on our own terms, rather than by the opinions, thoughts, judgments, and limitations of others…

#art can’t be graded. It can be clumsy, it can be raw, it can be anything you want it to be. It is yours. Let’s move away from popular opinion and marketability. Let’s embrace expression, emotion and experimentation. We are creative beings, created to be. Created to create. It is our nature.

Full Moon in Leo.
View from Mars.
Salt flats and sunsets.
Horizons hiding stars.
Emptiness and everything,
wrapped up in one.

The self portrait. A learning process. Lights, angles, diffusion, colour, shadows….
Re-discovering the 35mm, and fast becoming my favourite lens.
Creating a mood. Can it be re-created? Play

Another Golden Hour moment from my travels through the Mallee. Stars like diamonds in the night, mornings kissed with the promise of the day to come.
