In April 2020, I began to work on a painting of my long-exposure landscape photo of Horseshoe Falls in Tasmania. I put it down for almost a year before finally finishing the painting on September 3rd, 2021!

I’ve been revisiting the videos I created for YouTube all those years ago in 2017, before leaving social media, before therapy, before changing my lifestyle choices, and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I still agree with my original sentiments.
Read More"Territory Campfire" Original Digital Painting
I’ve been investigating the rise of the NFT and how artists can use it to sell their artworks digitally in a legitimate blockchain-backed manner. This is why I’ve created my first ever original digital painting offering.

I’m a full-time software developer with graphics experience, so I finally began to look into how I might be able to recreate the entire Photoshop action, film grain simulation and all using Apple’s CoreImage framework and some custom GPU shaders.

Read MorePhoto Vol. 149 - Rainforests
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.
Read MoreThink Relationships, Not Just "Foreground & Background"
Photography is an amazing storytelling artform, and relationships, whether between two people or between a tree and a mountain, are at the heart of what intrigues us as human beings.
Search for interesting elements to layer then ask… why am I putting these together?

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

Here’s some pictures from what seems like a lifetime ago.
Read MorePhoto Vol. 146 - Forest Edition
I’ve been shooting most of my photographs on my iPhone XR using Lightroom raw and VSCO for their Kodak Ektachrome E100G film simulation.
Read MoreA Change Of Pace
Truth be told, things are a little different these days after my journey through therapy and making other changes. Vibrant West End is now my home, rock climbing has become a big passion of mine, and through these two changes a new era in living has emerged.
