I am fascinated by this paint-in-water shoot. I spent some time editing all the shots and this series is one of my favourites. I can see some of these as backgrounds, as prints on their own – I’d love to see the first one covering a wall. There are quite a few more I want…

Following on from yesterday’s post, we took away the red background and replaced it with a white one. We also mixed our primary(ish) colours, to make green and purple as well. I used my Olympus OMD EM5 as usual for these shots, with the 60mm macro lens – it allowed me to get close and…

After our session with Mixed Fruit on Saturday, Beck and I headed outside. I’d brought three tubes of paint with me – I wanted to try oil paints in water. Beck had a long, tall vase which we could use, so we dived in. We used syringes to squirt the paint into the water. I…

Our mutual love of black and white dramatic photography, makes us The Drama Queens! And we have…
These are photos of the ceiling of an elevator in a hotel in Perth. I find the geometry in these photos quite fascinating. I find it interesting how much money is spent on the inside of elevators. They are just a small container to transport people for less than one minute, and yet some of…

In my first Changing Seasons post (January), I featured some photos of exhibits from the Queensland Art Gallery. I love this place, the exhibits are amazing. During my most recent Changing Seasons post (March), I spent some more time at my favourite exhibit, Zilvinas Kempinas’s Columns 2006, an installation of magnetic video tape. I’ve featured some…

We have a tourism catchphrase here in Queensland – Beautiful one day, perfect the next…. It is a beautiful city and I am very happy to showcase one small part of it for Cardinal’s Monthly Changing Seasons Challenge. The idea is to return to the same place each month and take photographs to show the…

This post is my submission for Cardinal Guzman Monthly Photo Challenge – The Changing Seasons. I’ve been thinking about this challenge for a while now, trying to decide on a location – this has to be a place where I can return each month to record around 20 photos. The idea is to document the…
