DWELLINGS

This gallery contains photographs of dwellings I have designed. Some for clients and some as the owner, designer and developer. All are in NSW, Australia

TREES

Trees and wood have always been significant to me as an aesthetic, a wonderfully versatile material to make or sculpt an infinite number of things with, or just for interesting patterns and textures in manufacture, art, creativity or decay, especially in decay as it turns out. See my sculpture gallery on this web site. This gallery is a collection of images of trees, mostly living and through all of my travels or every day life. Always looking at them.

SCULPTURES & OBJECTS

The title of Sculptures covers made objects and items made from various bits of wood, often featuring significant decay which I find can be attractive. So the trick is to cut the wood to best present this. Nature can do far more intricate patterns and fine detail than any sculptor if you just look for and expose it.

TEXTURE PHOTOGRAPHS- JUST FOR THE PATTERNS, COLOURS AND PLEASURE

These texture photographs are usually cropped in camera when composing, close up to the surface of a material or object. Some are drone images or extracted from a  scene. The images are just for the pleasure of the textures, colours and patterns. Often of materials in the state of degenerating, as for the Exhibition collection. Wonderful, random patterns and colours are revealed if you look at a small part of a scene rather than the whole. Materials deteriorating in the harsh Australian sun in the deserts can accentuate the structure of the material, such as the surface of the 3 plywood images. I hope you enjoy them as I do.

OTHER STUFF

This gallery is for photos that don’t seem to belong to any specific topic, just miscellaneous images.

ABSTRACT PHOTOGRAPHY – FOR THE IMAGINATION

These abstract photographs have been extracted, cropped in composition, before taking a shot of an infinite number of possible sources, as takes my eye and imagination. Or they may just be an odd photograph. The intention being to create an enigmatic image that plays to the viewers imagination as well as my own, suggesting a description that will be unlikely to have any connection with the subject from which it is extracted. Thus creating an abstract image.

SAILING – Ciel

Ciel is the yacht that I had from 2008 to 2018. A Beneteau Fist 10. A yacht designed for racing. These photos are mostly of it racing, waiting to race or after racing. A great boat that we had a lot of fun sailing.

Sailing in the Woody Point Summer evening races from 2010 to 2012. The yacht is a Beneteau First 10 which is the racing category of Beneteau boats. A great boat that was very competitive…when it was sailed well! Great fun and good memories.
