The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

I thought I would base the title on the exact words that came out of my mouth when I first walked into the ladies' room at the airport. I never really considered myself a photographer until this moment. Because a year ago, I would not have been so very excited to see such a tacky sight.

a wish upon the wires

that transcends across the sky,

an angered soul

out of control

he left her there

in deep despair

and still she wonders why,

for was it not a time ago

the moon so soft and bright,

afore the doom came rolling in

to gloom the maidens light,

and angered soul

out of control

and still she wonders why

is it real or surreal? what time is it and when? who knows...

 

'figure in a landscape' On Black

I wish I could say that I was taking a self portrait (the younger gentleman)... But as they say, time is the meanest bitch of them all. Speaking of time, spring has sprung, and that means outdoor seating in the cafe's of Tel Aviv. At some of the more popular ones, this can entail a wait, just sort of standing, and watching for a table to open up. Happy spring everyone!

Ostende, Belgium on a cold winter day. It's cold and lonely.

A child in red danced (utterly by chance) on this interesting rock formation. Shot at Granite Island, Victor Harbour, South Australia. There's something so surreal about this. One of my most favourite spontaneous images. Shot in around 1992. Scanned photo image originated on film.

 

Added to the Cream of the Crop pool as most favourited.

 

Thanks to my colleagues Barry & Peter for assisting with this image.

And all the journey down through space,

In cool decent, and loyal-hearted,

She builds a ladder to the place

From which she started...

The things which the child loves remain in the domain of the heart until old age. The most beautiful thing in life is that our souls remaining over the places where we once enjoyed ourselves.

20" x 20", Oil on canvas, 1984.

 

I painted this in 1984 when I was 20 years old. I have held onto this ever since and to this day I am still very pleased with it. There's something about it which I find very tranquil and balanced and just very easy to look at.

 

I was trying new techniques back then in oils. No paint brushes were used at all, the background is oil paint mixed with linseed oil rubbed with a rag into the canvas, the little white 'window' was applied with a pallet knife, as was the aqua 'sky' and little vase with flowers.

 

What intrigues me about this little painting is that I feel it was one of those epiphanies where things become clear and you realise that you've reached a point and learned a certain amount and now things are coming together in the creative process.

 

I look at this little painting almost everyday, and after all these years I can see a familiarity with colour and composition that I am inclined to use these days in my photography.

 

I guess what I am trying to get at is that I am very proud of that 20 year old boy who painted this simple little picture back in 1984. I think he was onto something.

 

I think I would also love to paint again, but it's not as easy as that. Who knows..maybe one of these days...

This is the companion shot to this. At risk of being a little repetitive, I almost forgot I had this image.

 

Both images were taken in quick succession as the hawk flew past. I thought this deserved to be here too. I like the placement of the hawk in the frame. Slightly different processing here because I felt like it.

Photographed from my street (outside my house) on Saturday evening March 3, 2007. One of the most amazing sunsets I have ever seen in my life. I couldn't resist photographing it and sharing this wonder. For the record very little manipulation was done to this image.
