Photo Vol 153 - Rainforest Photography
I’ve been waiting for these kinds of conditions for a long time, and I was glad that I took along the full landscape photography gear.
Read MorePhoto Vol 152 — Springbrook National Park
My camera has been getting a lot of relaxation on the TV cabinet lately so I put it to work down in Springbrook National Park’s beautiful rainforest hike on the Warrie Circuit (14 odd kilometre loop).
Read MorePhoto Vol 151 — Green
I’ve been venturing into the rainforests and mountains and there’s a lot of green there. And a little astrophotography goes a long way. I’ve never been all that good, prepared or dedicated to it, but sometimes it’s nice to try.
Read MorePhoto Vol. 150 - Red Cliff
For the first time since pre-COVID days, I crossed the New South Wales border, something I had expected to do earlier than now. A small number of my friends and I drove down to Lake Arragan and Red Cliff to camp at the top of the cliffs.

In the ever moving, ever churning lifestyle we place ourselves in, it’s so easy to forget what true presence even feels like. A rainforest is one of the ways I’ve been finding my way back to this quite visceral experience.
Read MorePhoto Vol. 148 (Back Country Camping Edition)
The theme of twenty-twenty-one seems to have taken a turn towards backpacking (or back country hiking, or tramping, depending where you’re from). From the forest on the slopes of Mount Maroon to remote bush camping in Girraween National Park where the granite boulders lie.

Nature time has been the theme of the last six months since upgrading to a Rav4 and making sure to get out.

I’ve been shooting most of my photographs on my iPhone XR using Lightroom raw and VSCO for their Kodak Ektachrome E100G film simulation.

It's unsurprising to me that the digital camera's days were numbered as I look to sell it. Apart from a rainforest hike and a walk through the city streets, I haven't used the Sony A7R-iii. I guess that's not the point.

It’s been an interesting few months in photography land. I just purchased a Sony A7R-iii to use with my Leica mount lenses (see the end of this post). I’m interested in creating new colour work, from landscape to travel and possibly some new colour street photography.
Read MorePhoto Vol. 141 — Wild Camping in the Australian Desert
From late May into early June this year, my brother and I in his Patrol and his mate Micky, Jimmy and Micky’s father in a Hilux embarked on a 4WD wild camping journey into the outback through Queensland, South Australia and the Northern Territory.

There’s a lot to talk about but I’d rather just let these photographs be. I just returned from a two week outback Australia camping road trip and have ten rolls of colour film still in the fridge waiting to be developed.

Shoot, shoot, shoot. Went to a beach and a headland and took some film along. Apparently I’m close to receiving my Intrepid 4x5 camera. I’m excited to make some new 4x5 work on Ilford HP5+ and Kodak Portra 160 colour film.

It’s raining as I type this. Winter has passed, spring is in full bloom and so the clouds are returning. I feel different about “bad weather” this time around and I believe I have both film photography and my deeper personal adjustments this year are to thank for that.

Spring is warming up the city and we’re getting a preview of the horrible scorching Brisbane weather to come at the end of the year. I've finished my third NIDA acting course and have decided that I'll have a break from my exploration of acting for a while. Film is making me busy.
