Devils Tower is a butte of igneous rock in the Black Hills of northeastern Wyoming. It is 867 ft (264 m) from the base to the summit. The name originated in 1875 during an expedition led by Colonel Richard Irving Dodge, when his interpreter reportedly misinterpreted a Native American name to mean "Bad God's Tower". For Native American tribes, Devils Tower is a sacred place. It appears in oral histories and narratives, and is also known by multiple ancient names.
Narrative. Narrative! NARRATIVE!
I went for a walk in nature recently and came across a man shouting Narrative! Narrative! Narrative!
I enquired as to what was distressing him so.
His dog had run away from him and wouldn't come back.
I enquired why he was shouting "Narrative!". It turned out that was the name of his dog.
I pointed out that he had lost control of his own narrative...
He seemed less than pleased.

"The locust trees were in bloom and the fragrance of the blossoms filled the air. Cardiff Hill, beyond the village and above it, was green with vegetation, and it lay just far enough away to seem a Delectable Land, dreamy, reposeful
and inviting.
Tom Sawyer appeared ... with a bucket of whitewash and a long- handled brush. He surveyed the fence, and all gladness left him and a deep melancholy settled down upon his spirit......
Aunt Polly was determined to punish him by turning
his Saturday into captivity at hard labor, whitewashing a fence. .... Sighing, he dipped his brush and passed it along the topmost plank; repeated the operation; did it again; compared the insignificant whitewashed streak with the far-reaching continent of the unwhitewashed fence, and sat down discouraged."
Mark Twain
When I approached this man painting this infinite fence my intent was to make a picture where everything has a meaning. Where no one thing is the center of attention and all things are dependent upon each other to complete the narrative.
It took me a while to structure this shot getting that hill in the middle ground just above the fence line, that distant fence, the tree, and foreground all nicely tucked together.
There was an air of strangeness and beauty hovering above it all. I decided to leave the center empty and allow the viewer to read around the scene.
Is he in the act of painting? - or looking at the coyote out on the fallow field?

the airport is a place of passage, a liminal zone where lives intersect briefly, then scatter. here, under the sharp geometry of steel and glass, a lone traveler walks, dwarfed by the vast structure that frames her journey. the parallel lines of the moving walkway stretch into infinity, a quiet reminder of forward motion, of destinations yet to come. the muted sepia tones soften the harsh modernity, wrapping the scene in a blanket of nostalgia. it’s a moment caught between departures and arrivals, between now and soon—a fleeting whisper in the echoing halls of transit.
a fleeting symmetry between two strangers separated by glass, each absorbed in a private ritual — one reaching for the sky, the other lost in the glow of her screen. between them floats a promise: crafted by hand & heart.
This is an image from my Fragments project.
Knowledge consists of fragments of information, of facts, of experiences. We arrange these fragments in some order and we get a narrative which forms into knowledge. If we arrange fragments in a different order, we will get a different narrative. But all the information remains.
The assignment that I am working on is narrative. Please let me know what you think. I have looked at it for so long now that my brain is totally frazzled and I feel totally incapable of coherent thoughts.

An exhibition of photographic narrative by 5 Melbourne-based photographers.
19 June 08 (Thurs) to 5 July 08 (Sat)
2nd floor, Guildford Lane Gallery,
20-24 Guildford Lane,
Melbourne 3000.
I will be presenting six of my photographs at this exhibition together with:
Hope to see many of you there!
I will be relocating to Los Angeles soon after the opening. For those who will be in Melbourne, I'm looking forward to catching up with you at the opening night!
Photo taken in Southbank, Melbourne.
This exhibition is on at The Box in Plymouth until the 27th Feb 2022.
The exhibition features over 300 paintings and objects by more than 100 artists. Songlines takes visitors on an epic journey that traverses three states, three deserts and some 500,000 square kilometres, travelling from west to east: to places in the deserts of the Martu, the Ngaanyatjarra and the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) peoples. Using the power of contemporary art, performance, song, photography and multimedia, the exhibition shares ancient stories from the world’s oldest continuing culture.
Songlines are a map of the land as well as a pathway for complex spiritual, cultural, political and historical truths or knowledges – and so much more. They crisscross the land, creating a network of stories that ‘map’ the Australian continent, linking narratives to geographical features and serving as vehicles for naming and locating sites critical for survival physically and culturally. It is through Songlines that Aboriginal people can locate and learn from significant sites and pass on laws, ways of living and moral codes to the next generation.
=From the 4th Report Of The Inter-Dimensional Expedition=
The window we came through is broken. The building it stood in was destroyed in the bombing. It is rubble now, and the inter-dimensional portal is gone. We cannot find our way back. We are trapped here, as the fires rage. Trapped in this dying world.
We will keep looking. We will not give up. We will search for another portal, another world – one in which peace reigns.
I do not know if you will receive this message. I do not think you will. But tell them at home: it cannot end like this. It cannot //
I think I got the Ansco Color Clipper about ten years ago. I haven't "seriously" shot with it in a few years, but I brought it along with me this past weekend.
I'll probably shoot more with it this season. I'm not really sure of its purpose just yet, but I'll find one. Or I won't, and that's fine too.
This was taken in the early morning inside Yakima Canyon. I also shot a similar scene with the RB67, but it didn't work out so well.

i sat with them, though not really. two men, basking in the spill of midday sun, locked in a timeless ritual—exchange. the crumbling stone of palma watched on, silent and stern. the beard punctuated the air with gestures, while the can of soda burned red like a thread through their banter. below, a painted shadow slipped between newsprint columns, anchoring them to the everyday. here, the sacred and the ordinary blend—words, walls, and a whisper of history folded into the folds of conversation.
I photographed this street vendor January 7th 2016. I was amused at the variety of pop culture now 'vintage'.. oddly Davie Bowie died 2 days later.. it is poignant and culturally interesting that he was 'vintage' while still alive.. I found this particularly fascinating given the random, component elements unwittingly arranged in the bins

MAAT - Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology Lisbon Portugal by Amanda Levete Architects
The MAAT - Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology, which opened its doors to the public in 2016, presenting itself as a new cultural centre in the city of Lisbon. The MAAT represents an ambition to host national and international exhibitions with contributions by contemporary artists, architects and thinkers. A space for debate, critical thinking and international dialogue, which offers an intense and diverse programme conceived for all audiences and ages.
The MAAT also represents the EDP group’s intent to help revitalise the riverfront of Belém’s historic district. Designed by the prestigious British architecture firm Amanda Levete Architects, the project involves approximately 3.000 m2 of exhibition space plus 7.000 m2 of public space. The new building rises on the riverfront with an architectural narrative that is sensitive to the city’s cultural heritage and future, offering, among other features, a pedestrian roof that offers a privileged view of Lisbon and the Tagus, and which immediately became an iconic location. With this proposal, the EDP Foundation has created a unique space in the city: a campus measuring 38,000 m2 where the new building, with its cosmopolitan design, coexists with the iconic Tejo Power Station dating back to the early 1900s.The Tejo Power Station has been modernised, maintained its dedication to science and provided four galleries for the MAAT programming. The two buildings are united by an outdoor park, conceived by landscape architect Vladimir Djurovik, offering an outstanding leisure space along Lisbon’s riverbank.
The pedestrian route on the riverfront now includes the roof of the new building, creating an undulating movement which merges with the surrounding landscape. In this way, the pedestrian roof, which also has a garden area, becomes both a crucial element of the local route, and a public space with a privileged view of the city and the river. The vast south facade is the building’s most iconic feature and it works as a large reflector interacting with the light coming from the river. The angle and position of the tiles were planned in order to create specific luminous effects according to the time of the day and year. The north facade, built in glass, includes a system with different levels of transparency which can be adapted to the different uses of the space. Inside, the building holds four exhibition spaces: the Oval Gallery, the Main Gallery, the Video Room and the Project Room.
