Photographic Art Gallery.

Welcome to my gallery of photographic art

My photographic ideas and output, which these days are a moving target, can be accessed via flickr. This page links to my sets on flickr, flickr is where my online digital photography is at, I use flickr and ipernity, to add images to my blog now rather than clog up my own server.

In the long term I plan to add a complete bodies of photographic work here. Also, because Flickr allows me to quickly and easily refine sequences of images, I want to exploit that idea here too.

When I exhibit in real life, I add/archive some info on the exhibitions page.

Here's a list that adds some details about each body of work above.

  1. Lewis Baltz's seminal 70's body of work has been a major influence on this series.
  2. A body of work inspired by a Frederick Sommer quote, consisting of images found in my digital archives.
  3. I own a polaroid spectra camera, I have kept all the shots taken with it, and culled them down to a series of 80 or so images.
  4. A chance encounter with unusual climatic conditions produced a small set of images that sum up life in the suburbs.
  5. I have a small collection of odd objects accumulated over the years, some of them formed the back-bone of this idea, — not convinced this is finished/resolved?.
  6. More re-disovered polaroids, this time taken using a EE100
  7. Neo-Documentary, a series of evolving images, made using a mobile phone camera documenting, to the second, aspects of my culture, that I see fit to share. Currently, 2007.06.22, this is an ongoing and evolving project, and it's completion date unknown.
  8. Cobbledick's Ford, winter light and a visit to this somewhat surreal location, with my hasselblad, produced this body of work, in colour which is unusual for me.
  9. This series of peeling posters has the potential to expand into an ongoing project.
  10. I am now making books of my work, mostly shot on my digital phone camera, starting around 2006, some books in the future may be made from my early digital camera experimanrts as well.
  11. This book, looks at consumerism, shot on my first digital camera a Kodak DC260.
  12. Maps, a body of work 3 years in the making, close to fruition.

I have several other ongoing ideas that grow expand and re-shuffle if and when they are finished they will be linked to here.

How I Make My Images

I use a variety of cameras, formats and mediums to create my art/images/photographs. My favourite medium for my art-photography, is Silver Gelatin prints, [Black and White], I also print colour prints, and use a digital camera to create my art.

The cameras I use include but are not limited to a Large Format Camera [4" x 5"], a Hasselblad, a polaroid camera, a digital camera/s, a Kodak™ 126 Instamatic, and a plastic camera Holga and a Ansco Cadet II, as well as a Mobile Phone Camera!

My output is generated both via computer and a traditional wet darkroom. My  digital software of choice is Live Picture™ 2.5 and 2.6, my Analog software is varied. I make my own black and white film developer, currently D25, and my own paper developers, mostly Ansco 120. I am still experimenting with paper for most of my Digital prints, but as for analog work, the choices are narrowing dramatically.

I am also publishing my work as books these days
