Where else in the world can you find a city surrounded by golden walls?
HANGING ROCK
Blue Mountains, Australia.
This slice of ancient sandstone reflects the sunlight bright. It ignores the norms of the walls in the Gross Valley and leans out in a grand golden and defiant display.

The images in this collection are a reflection of the changing atmosphere & mood found in this world renowned location. Meenhi, Wimlah & Gunnedoo will be central to any landscape photographic collection shot in the Blue Mountains. This is a record of my experiences moving around this space.
I acknowledge & pay respect to the past, present & future custodians & elders of this landscape & the continuation of cultural, spiritual and educational practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. In particular the people that lived & moved through the Upper & Lower Blue Mountains, Darug, Gundungurra, Wiradjuri, Wanaruah, Darkinjung & Tharawal people.
SHADOW SCRIPT
This place is mesmerizing. Seemingly to defying gravity.
Every day the light is different, altered by our atmosphere. Water vapour & dust causes the sunlight to diffuse & disperse. Each of the elements intertwined in a dance ensuring nothing will reflect the same light again.
LUMENS
We often seek shelter when bad or unsettled weather is forecast.
We plan to stay indoors for the comfort & certainty it can provide us.
The rain, turbulent weather combine with scarped terrain offering us an uncertain perspective and the fluctuating light dances across ancient landscape. By chance and speed a photographer positions for a crescendo .
In the uncertain weather it is true that we lose power & control and yet the uncertainty we plan to avoid is often truly wonderful, often eliciting the adventure & beauty we seek.
THE TWILIGHT STORM
These moments compelled me to seek out and capture light forever.
IMPOSING

Majestic
Unforgiving
Rugged, ancient & unbridled
Dangerous, mythical
