UNKLE
The current soundtrack to my life: Where did the night fall, from Unkle. Beautifully moody and dark - perfect sounds for the midwinter workday. Check it out here. Also, the limited edition c.d pack is worth a mention - it's about the sexiest packaging available, complete with a small book of artwork. Enjoy.

IOGRAPHICA
.jpg)
Stumbled upon this amazing application that traces the path of your mouse across the computer screen. Instead of tracking the wanderer through a city using a GPS, every curve + movement of your wrist is traced as a 2D vector diagram: movement creates thin lines, while pauses are recorded as dark circles.
This work shows a 2hr InDesign / Photoshop session using 2 monitors - you can see where I've been dragging windows from one screen to another.
Download the free application from IOGraphica here.

PRIVACY DOESN'T EXIST
Not even for a quick milk run in blue pajamas. There's nothing at all illegal about broadcasting an image like this, but the act of 'taking' + 'capturing' this image (aptly assigned verbs) remains so morally wrong and there's nothing we can do about that.

1600 + airport scanner...
These photographs were taken on very sensitive neopan 1600 then passed through airport security scanners twice..... the last time I shoot with this film overseas. But perhaps this overexposed quality suits the retrospective pining for summer from the depths of mid winter?

ESCAPE IN THE CITY
The city has always been a point of departure for me during holidays. But after my first 'local urban holiday' with the aid of enforced trading bans, I now appreciate that to 'escape in the city' is a valid form of leisure.

LAND OF DREAMS
The most beautiful view in the world at 10972m. I couldn't help but think of the cloud scene in Michel Gondrey's magical film The Science of Sleep. Rising up through these clouds is like departing from grounded reality and entering into an imaginative landscape of dreams much like those seen in Gondrey's film. But this alternative landscape isn't solely a visual wonder, it holds an immense emotional power too. I forget that above all those clouds the sun is always shining beautifully bright. But for now I'm back under that blanket of gray clouds..

THE [im]PERFECT IDLER
The latest images from more wanderings across Melbourne: I've been house-hunting for the last 2 weeks, attending endless open homes and visiting neighborhoods + suburbs I didn't know existed - the best way, it turns out, to go beyond the shallow gaze of the tourist. Now that I have a place to (temporarily) call home, it's interesting to look back at these photographs and the searching, almost lost quality they hold.

"WHAT USE IS HAVING A GREAT DEPTH OF FIELD, IF THERE IS NOT AN ADEQUATE DEPTH OF FEELING" *
In an attempt to get the bulk of my photographs up on this site, I've been trolling through old images taken before I got seriously back into analogue. These were taken with a cheap but good digital while backpacking through Asia in 2006/7.
As we were leaving Angkor Wat these children pressed themselves up against the side of our taxi; they wanted to sell us chewing gum and pineapple. All I could think about however, was the significance of that sheet of glass... no matter how hard the tourist tries to connect with the other, we remain a world apart.
