I hope you enjoy this stream of modest photos made by yet another amateur photographer in Australia who takes their picture making seriously as a minor photography.

See Stan Brakhage's Defence of Amateur.

Originally from Christchurch, in the South Island of New Zealand, I lived and worked in Wellington and Auckland for some years as an economist before coming to Melbourne to study photography at the Photographic Studies College, and then to Adelaide in South Australia to study philosophy and visual art at Flinders University. I ended up with a PhD in philosophy and working in Canberra as a political/policy advisor.

I often link the diverse images by walking with two standard poodles in Adelaide and South Australia. Onel ong term explores the city's different layers, the particularities of its places, with a sense that all this history is being continually erased through economic "progress". This reaches back to Atget’s city and his photographs of old Paris. Another long term project explores the coastline and bushland of the southern Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia where I now live.
