January
It’s been an interesting month, waiting to see if the promise of paid work comes through. Spent a bit of time in Melbourne to get away from endless revving of Summernats. Got to wander around for some street photography and to check out the Yayoi Kusama show, which I’ll be seeing again soon. FujiFilm GFX100S…

November, December
I’m busy looking for a new job, backing up about 750GB of photos from a month of travelling. Also been working on some design stuff, a portfolio and new zines. The Turrell Within without sky space looks great in summer despite the mosquitos. The shows on at the NSW Art Gallery were great too. Looking…

New Zines
I just got back from the printers with two new zines – Dust #4 and Within without. Dust #4 continues with the run of the other zines, which is largely themeless photos. Within without – is a visual ode, of sorts, to the James Turrell sky space installed at the National Gallery of Australia. I…

Reykjavik & Copenhagen
Spending a week in Reykjavik is good, because you can completely exhaust the number of things you want and can do in the city. For me it was seeing as many art galleries or street art pieces within walking distance of the hotel.Reykjavík Museum of Photography – A small museum located on the top floor…

Iceland Road Trip – 5
ArnastapiIt’s a long drive to the Snæfellsnes Peninsular. After a couple of hours we’re south enough to be free of the reach of the snow. And we don’t stop until we’re outside a Bónus in Borgarnes buying sandwiches for lunch. There’s been a lot of rain and the yellow shopping complex is rusting out from…

The powerful waterfall flows unfettered despite the cold and surrounding ice. Tourist walk along the marked paths and take photos. I try to…

Iceland Road Trip – 3
The east coast of Iceland offers sea views and winding drive through several villages. Djúpivogur is first on the list. Previously on my trip in Iceland, I had encountered a small place showing animal bones and semi-precious stones. I had found that place again, only to discover that it closed a few years back. One…

Iceland Road Trip – 2
The next morning, the meteorological service issues a warning for high winds over the south of the country (Iceland measures wind in m/s), reaching up around ninety kilometres per hour. We load our things to the car and head down to the Reynisfjara beach with the Hálsanefshellir Cave, something we didn’t get time for on…

Iceland Road Trip – 1
Getting out of Reykjavik is a stressful time, but once the car hits the highway, it’s a pretty smooth ride out there. Selfoss is our first destination, to drop off our bags at the hotel and then head to Þingvellir (Thingvellir). It’s a national park and historic site as the foundation of the then Commonwealth…
