Lake George
Usually completely dry, Lake George has been filled with water for the past year, and on a recent trip to Canberra I was able to stop briefly and see it with water for the first time.
Shot on Ilford FP4 125 and some old possibly expired self-loaded Ilford HP5 400
THat Tree
An ongoing project to document a seemingly unchanging Australian rural landscape. Somewhere between Hay and Griffith, New South Wales.
Using a single oddly-shaped tree and its distant neighbour, I want to explore the use of different film stocks on the same image across an entire calendar year,
but with roughly a year between each image. I never plan the time of day I arrive, and usually only stay for 10 minutes or so; exactly as I stumbled across it the first time.
Remaining months (possible shooting order): March 2024, January 2025, July 2026, February 2027

phenomenon of hexagonal rock shapes as seen at Sawn Rocks National Park.
Shot on Fuji Neopan 1600 35mm & Fomapan 400 Medium Format
Lightning Ridge
The small Opal Mining town of Lightning Ridge in North West New South Wales.
Incredibly hot and dry when i visited in early December, the massive grain and high-contrast of the wonderful (but no longer made) Neopan 1600
enhances the rough texture of the barren but mineral-rich landscape.
Shot on Fuji Neopan 1600 & Ilford Delta 400 35mm
Deserted Wollar
The tiny upper-Hunter Valley town of Wollar has all but been abandoned.
Partially from residence fed up with round-the-clock-mining activities at the incredibly close Ulan Coal Mine,
and partially because a lot of the houses appear to have been deemed uninhabitable due to asbestos.
Shot on Fuji Natura 1600 35mm
Queensland Heat Haze
My long zoom lens highlights and enhances the intense heat across the barren and vast fallow crop fields in lower Queensland on a mid-30ºs day in late November.
Shot on Agfa APX 100 35mm

A still and moonless night in the upper Hunter Valley in New South Wales.

Purple Sunset
A sunshower at sunset near Griffith, New South Wales produced a magical purplish hue in the sky which was beautifully captured by some Fuji 200 35mm.
A Drought
A trip from Hay to Griffith in Southern Central New South Wales during August of 2018 reveals the devastation caused by the drought.
The unique and strange grain structure and tonal range of the wonderful Foma Retropan 320ASA 35mm adds to the bleakness of the scenes.
Dry Creek Bed
A dry creek i spotted from the road, which has obviously been the subject of a semi-recent flood, before the heavy drought now facing the region. Walbundrie, New South Wales.
