A walk by the river

I made these images on a recent short walk by the river .
It's particularly strange looking at the flood level indicator when we have been in such a protracted drought period (make that climate change)

Building 'B'

New signs have recently been put up where I work and this prompted me to find an image I made a two years ago of one of my favourites (now gone)... they don't make them like they used to.

Black and White Landscapes #3

Two more landscapes from 1985 (also made on a large format, 4" x 5' camera using Pyro based film developer). These have been printed as darkroom (silver gelatin) prints and in various digital versions (Lambda prints from a commercial Lab and as pigment ink jet prints on archival papers).

Black and White landscapes #2

More Black and White landscapes from the same period (1985)

Black and White Landscapes #1

These two landscapes, made in 1985 (using a large format 4" x 5" monorail camera with the negatives processed using a Pyro based developer) came to light again recently, as I put them in a local art show.

The negatives were scanned on my Epson V700 scanner and printed on an Epson SP2100 pigment printer on archival rag paper. The prints are very good and I think that scanning traditional film negatives and printing them this way is a wonderful analogue / digital hybrid that produces something that is as exquisite as a darkroom print and now as archival.

These images were made at Gypsy Point (near Mallacoota, in Victoria).

House Fire (2005)

Discussions with a friend tonight reminded me of some images he made of a house fire in our neighbourhood. I had also visited the site and made some images (this was way back in 2005)... I am finally getting some time to edit them and put them up for viewing...
 

Skies

I have been 'collecting' images of the skies over Melbourne for some time. Always very interesting but I've never really worked out what to do with them. The grid is at least a beginning.

Garden Pics (From late 2007)

These pictures were taken in a brief burst of cool, wet weather in early summer (December) 2007, a welcome relief during such a prolonged drought in Melbourne and the acceptance of climate change as a reality. It has been good to finally get time to work on the files. The images were taken on a Nikon D70 + a Nikon f2.8 105 mm. macro lens.
