Sky-Like Sign
Monday, January 25, 2010
I find blank signs quite appealing. Their random appearance on walls and billboards has an almost zen quality that invites quiet contemplation on the beauty of minimalism. (or maybe I’m just full of it!) Camera: Diana 151 Film: Konika Minolta Centuria 100 (expired)

A Girl, a Dog & an Old Car
Monday, November 2, 2009
Recently, thanks to the example and encouragement of some friends, I have ventured into developing my own negatives at home. So far I have done a few rolls of B & W, but I also have the ingredients for some C-41 (colour negative) developing, when I feel brave enough. This particular image was shot with [...]

A Boy’s Toys
Friday, August 28, 2009
A young fella contemplates life with his hand full of bounty. Slightly blurry (as Diana’s can be) but I find the selective focus of his right (on our left) hand holding the toy interesting. Camera: Diana 151 Film: Konika Minolta Centuria 100
The Niche
Friday, August 21, 2009
Another photo from a roll that was an unintentional x-pro (cross-process – where E-6 slide film is processed as ‘ordinary’ negative C-41 film), I forgot I had slide film in the camera, dropped it off and the lab had already loaded it in the machine before we realised it was E-6. Normally they don’t X-Pro [...]

Church in Talbot
Thursday, August 6, 2009
In keeping with the rural theme and also following on from the reference to the Foto Biennale mentioned in the last photograph posted on the site, here is a church facade in Talbot, a small township in country Victoria, where my family and I stayed for part of the Daylesford Foto Biennale in 2007. Camera: [...]
Mine Site near Smeaton
Wednesday, July 29, 2009
I took this shot with my trusty Diana camera during 2007, when I was in country Victoria for the Daylesford International Foto Biennale, which has now transformed into the Ballarat International Foto Biennale. When we first visited this area in the goldfields, we were detoured down a mainly one lane road, occasionally surfaced with bitumen, [...]
The Wall
Monday, July 13, 2009
A suburban wall in a suburban car park. What appealed to me about this wall is the bright white loading doors against the brick, the slowly sagging chain-link fence and the blue, blue sky above the whole scene. Using asa 100 film in a camera like the original Diana is pushing it a bit but [...]
Coming Down
Saturday, February 7, 2009
I am contemplating facing possibly the hottest day in February in recorded weather statistics with my two young children whilst my wife goes off on a “Hen’s Weekend” (that’s right, the girls need a whole weekend to get rotten these days!) and ponder the irony that in the northern parts of Australia we have torrential [...]
o-O
Monday, March 19, 2007
These metal ring sculptures can be found at Docklands Park. They are just two of many of different sizes and sit around and near the base of the kinetic sculpture The Blowhole. You can see from the state of the grass how little rain we have had in the city lately, even the normally verdant [...]
