Putting Away My Photography
Just the thought of snapping an exceptional photograph at the click of the shutter button while holding the firm leatherette grip at the same time and holding the barrel of the lens attached with my left give me nothin’ but pure joy, the time stops for a moment as my mind that normally, habitually acts like a “rottweiler” starts to calm down escaping to its solitary cave while I’m left to just soak in the present moment.

Photoshop Thoughts
There it was. Melting into spring. The half-frozen world from the tiny window in my parent's basement. Truly the ugliest time of the year, or what I call it, hybrid spring. Or hybrid winter. Depending on how you look at it. Either way, I didn't want to be here. I wanted to be back in Australia.

Rock. Paper. Scissors.
The original inspiration for my artwork series: Rock. Paper. Scissors. are the intricate Chinese paper cuts that my mother would create during Chinese new year called chuāng huā. As a child I would watch her meticulously cut traditional Chinese designs using her tiny pair of scissors. She would make designs including zodiac animals, flowers and Chinese characters arranged within a highly patterned background. These intricate paper cuts would be hung in the window to catch the sunlight and create beautiful dappled shadow patterns. Throughout history, many different cultures have their own version of paper cut folk art customs similar to this such as papel picado in Mexico or scherenschnitt in Germany & Switzerland. I wanted to create patterns of my own like my mother created but with organic and natural shapes that I am familiar with in my contemporary life.

The Great Blue Heron Debate
I interval run and was out for the first time since we got back from vacation. I took my camera with me. I've gotten used to lugging my big ole Canon along because I don’t want to be sorry I didn’t have it. I'm always on the look out for things that might make interesting photos.

Patterns of Nature. Top Story - June 2021.
When I started applying a mirror effect to my nature photos, I quickly became enamored with the results. Beautiful intricate patterns emerged. Many different patterns could be made from the same photo. I totally fell in love and wanted to apply this technique to all my nature photos to see what the resulting pattern would be. Over the course of a couple of weeks, I had created more than 500 unique images.

Karma Chameleon
Have you ever experienced one of those moments when you look up from a thought, profound or not, and find it inexplicably reflected in what you see in front of you? When the inward and the outward do a tandem dance. Far beyond any logic. It’s magic. This was one of those moments for me.

Greek Gods And Goddesses but Make it Fashion. Top Story - June 2021.
I am a Photography student at Nossi College of Art, but I also really enjoy fashion and costume design. Currently in my fine art class, I had to choose a project that would keep my attention for an entire 15-week semester. I chose to do a series of environmental fashion portraits, editorial style, themed after the Greek Gods and Goddesses, and I wanted to create the wardrobe. The assignment requires that the series must contain twenty images and they must all be different. To me, that means making 20 different deity portraits. It will be challenging, but so far it has been really rewarding and it fuels my happiness.
