Coastal
Smell the Sea
The smell of the sea for many of us evokes memories and sometimes dreams. This as an ongoing and developing collection of candid photographs that relate to the sea.
On the shore
A collection of shots taken during walks along the beach
Urban
Breathing the city
An ongoing project of street shots from Melbourne. Candid photographs of little slices of life. Aspects of daily life as it occurs, not staged and not posed. City life as I have interpreted through my camera. Moments that may only last a single breath in time.

Other projects
Ausflag
I started this project a couple of years ago and put it aside. I feel now November 2018 is a good time to re-start the project. This a project documenting how we use our flag and asking does this say something about us as Australians and our society.
The road
Images from road trips and other explorations
Together
Together
This a project that is based on the traditional black and white candid photography approach. This project explores the relationship between people together in pairs or small groups, sometimes interrelating other times not. This series is now complete.
Leaving a mark
As humans we leave marks wherever we go. Sometimes people write their name or leave a tag. Sometimes we just leave a mark by our actions. This is a visual reference of some of the marks I have seen left by people.
