To this day, Misteriddles enjoys reuiniting with former bandmates to murder the classics. Visitors to his 2006 STRANGE VINTAGE FICTIONS solo show wrote of his photography: "poetry of light", "Carnival photography at its best", "dark and sinister", "jazz in pictures", "enchanting and extraordinary", "particularly intense, uncommon", "stark OTHERness", "[a] combination of formalism ("beauty," really) with disturbing content", "intruiging characters, hidden stories and surprising angles ... Voodoo, alchemy and rhythm" and "the photographer is moving through this HUMAN HELL unnoticed, recording these things before they are swept away."

I was assigned to run a Voight-Kampff test on Misteriddles - he just laughed and showed me pictures. End report.
A wide variety of intruiging characters, hidden stories and surprising angles. Voodoo, alchemy and rhythm make misteriddles a very sexy shapeshifter
When writing an old 'Testy' I first have to relook at 'my victims' work, and oh, what a body of work this is! He has a back catalogue to die for, the images have this noirish quality you get from the old magnum photographers, each image has a breathtaking, dark, rich smoothness and depth you don't see too often, … Read more
When writing an old 'Testy' I first have to relook at 'my victims' work, and oh, what a body of work this is! He has a back catalogue to die for, the images have this noirish quality you get from the old magnum photographers, each image has a breathtaking, dark, rich smoothness and depth you don't see too often, he's both a photographic craftsmen, artist and a very talented and gifted writer. I'm very pleased to have him as a contact

He scares me. It's what I like. Don't try to psychoanalyze me with Freudian / Jungian bullshit. From Misteriddles noir buddy icon to those dark surreal portraits, masterful fantasy / horror images and to his recent images out in nature ( yes he goes out once in a harvest moon ) that can only be captured by a seasoned master. Visit this stream once, you will come back for more. I'm hooked, thru the heart. Misteriddles...........play on brother. S.S.

In the city there are a million stories that lurk in the shadows and sinister geometries of corrupt modernist architecture. Misteriddles has worn out plantations of shoe rubber on the trail of the unsavoury wildlife that call themselves Brisbanites and whose ill deeds are captured in an underground miasma of light and moral darkness that seeps out of the mancovers and sewers of the night, away from the incriminating sunlight of Down Under.
