Happiest with camera in hand.

Antipodean, traveller, into natural and earth sciences, and sharing the beauty of this world and it's inhabitants through photography.

Concerned by the actions of the powerful. Optimist, but they're testing me.

Finding my feet and my voice.

This is one of my favorite paintings, titled "Early Morning, Runway Prepared." I just reframed it using museum glass, because it deserved it (based on how much I love it!) Now it's going to a show at Wilbur D. May Museum in Reno, NV, along with two other paintings. If you are local, please stop by. The show runs for the month of July.

A wide horizontal pastel painting of a mountain. Its ridges are lit by sunlight. Clouds rising from the mountains. There's a small blue tractor driving in the foreground, with dust clouds behind it. The painting is framed with white mat.

Update! The dodgy electoral reforms we covered in a recent Honest Govt Ad are moving ahead. So now's the time to have lots of eyes on this to ensure proposed reforms are conducted with max public scrutiny - so that they work for democracy, not to entrenchy the 2-party duopoly 👀 youtube.com/watch?v=N3WTlyuhDs0

An offering for Feather Friday. 🖤

I bought some new sketch pencils and this was a nice way to test them. I’ll be sharing thoughts on my Patreon soon.

Capturing the delicate essence of a translucent flower—a living testament to the beauty that emerges when vulnerability meets the light. In its sheer petals, I find a reminder that transparency can be its own form of strength, and even in the fragility, there's an undeniable resilience, gracefully unfolding beneath the gaze of life's illuminating moments 🌸✨

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 14
A pencil piece that kind of...kept growing.

Pencil drawing of a large tree with a thick trunk and many branches ending in even more twigs. The roots grow into rocky soil and can be seen in a cutaway underground, reversed against a dark background.

Bokeh on the rocks.

📷 Jupiter-9 2/85mm

#photography #VintageLens #bokeh #Jupiter9 #lichen #tasmania

Early evening view overlooking lichen covered rocks towards a bay and township.  The dark foreground is in close focus, the rest in a blur of purple shades for the sky and bay.  Lights from the township glow as an array of overlapping bokeh balls in pale yellow, burnt orange, blue, green and pale pink.

A final sunset from #MiltonKeynes (not from this evening, way to miserable a day for a sunset). 90% packed and one day left to finish. Then gone...

Winter Sunset at Floodplain Forest Nature Reserve in Wolverton #MK.

Just removed this cootie patootie from my face, where it landed after jumping off the garden umbrella I was trying to disassemble. I didn't even squeal. There are a few around this morning. I guess they know what's coming.

A white lipped green tree frog sits on a palm frond. He is tiny - about six centimetres from nose to butt. However his legs are long and expanded across the entirety of my face when it jumped.

Frost on an oak leaf in the early morning sun

An English oak leaf with curved edges, lightly dusted with frost which highlights the leaf veins. The leaf is brown but the sun brings out the red-gold undertones. The sun also highlights the edges of the leaf which appear to have been traced in white.

This one is from the “Reflections” critique. Named this one “Near Absence of Reality” there’s a clue to it’s secret in the title, which could also make a great Iain M. Banksian Culture Ship name.

A black and white waterbird called a Moorhen is swimming across the reflections of a sawmill/watermill but the whole image is actually upside down, the only real part of the image is the upside down bird. The houses look upright but with a Monet inspired impressionist feel about them thanks to the ripples on the water.
