    June – II

    The long weekend continues with a photowalk around the ANU, and an evening shorter photowalk at the NMA at dusk. I loaded a roll of Ektachrome into the Horseman, but it’s going to be a while before I finish the roll and send it off for development. Then going out for dinner and waiting in…

    June – I

    Daylight is getting harder to find as winter and the cold finally set in. I finished my weekend in Sydney and return to work, with my main task anticipating a project, while also juggling another client. Outside of that, it’s another long weekend, comprised almost entirely of a camera at hand, with a simple photoshoot,…

    New Gear

    Note: Originally I wrote most of this at the start of the year, but it took several pauses because, I wanted to not sit in front of the screen. Working from home at a job you don’t like, makes every screen seem like ‘the bad screen’, and I want nothing more than to get out…

    May – III

    I took a lot of photos this month, especially towards the end. There’s been a few duds. I went to Sydney for the long weekend, mostly to be in a bus, in a hotel room, catching up with some people, and flicking out some street photos. Also Vivid was on. Vivid only had a few…

    May – II

    A second post for May, on account that I’m trying not to blow out the load time for my posts. I’ve got a project or two on the back burner, simmering away and getting attention when I have a bit of spare time. With winter setting in, there’s a tight time for some golden hour…

    May – I

    I’m spinning in a chair waiting for new work. I bought two flashes, with one I have yet to play with. But flashes kind of require people and there hasn’t been a lot of that this month yet. I’ll be in Sydney soon, so I’ll dump all those shots in a separate post.

    April

    Another month down, closer to winter. What I didn’t take pictures of was cutting up all of the developed film into neat strips and slotting them into plastic and paper binder sheets for storage later. At some point, I’ll take a day off and scan a bunch of them. I’ve finished all of my study…

  • Helio Press 10th Anniversary

    Helio Press 10th Anniversary

    Megalo had a show opening last week to celebrate Helio Press’ tenth anniversary, with Helio Press: Ten Trips Around The Sun. Helio Press is a small Melbourne-based studio focused around Risograph printing. Risograph is a machine whose parents might be a photocopier and a screen printing table. Original work is scanned in, but instead of…

  • Weekend in Melbourne

    Weekend in Melbourne

    I was invited some months ago to Nat’s birthday bash which happened a couple of weeks ago (as of writing this) in Melbourne. Nat’s been a friend for a long time, but nowadays, she lives in Hobart. I took the opportunity to pick up a new lens and walk around town with it, while ticking…
