Not really a « pimp my speeder »‘s entry, more a « in an parallel universe »‘s entry. For those wandering what I mean, please see the first scene of the second trailer from Star Wars 7 : www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngElkyQ6Rhs
"What's the immaterial substance
that envelopes two,
that one percieves as hunger
and the other as food.
I wake in tangeled covers,
to a sash of snow,
you dream in a cartoon garden,
I could never know.
Innocent imitation, you are cast in gold,
your image a compensation for me to hold.
Parallel lines, move so fast,
toward the same point,
infinity is as near as it is far."

Quiet Is The New Loud, 2001
I've been wanting to head back to Wynnum to photograph these poles for quite some time but either the tide was wrong or I was working so yesterday afternoon I decided to give it a go. To begin with I was knee deep in water and by the time I was finished I was standing in mud.
When I was coming out of the water a couple who had been walking along the esplanade called out to me to find out what this crazy lady had been doing. They told me that joggers, walkers and cyclists all were watching me wondering what on earth I had been doing. This my friends is what I was doing and unless you get there literally you don't get the shots. Ahhhh at least I gave them all something to talk about. :)

At the rate I'm going with this project it's going to take me 3 years to get to 100 :))

Creating this photo came about intuitively, albeit, several steps and debate. The artistic process with self conceptual or expression can drown me for days before I resurfacing feeling like a jigsaw puzzle placed back together.
It began with myself, standing on a fallen tree gazing through a multitude of greens, but quickly grew into the idea of an alternate reality, a parallel universe, where I find myself now standing across from my 'other' self.
The idea and or theory of a parallel universe (or more!), and there being another carbon copy of myself, is a wild and somewhat obsessive concept. Working through concepts with my art is a gratifying and exciting process that helps with my insatiable curiosities.
********************************************************************************
I discover, there within the forest, we are no different. We exist on different dimensions and yet we walk the same path and explore the same mysteries. We feel and sense in the same manner. We find ourselves when we lose ourselves, in the silence of nature. Perhaps, we have always found each other, (our other self), there, just beyond our physical senses.
There is another presence...the air parts like a tiny ripple. The trees stir just the slightest, a whisper, a breath, the leaves quiver. She appears like a ghost in the night. Feathers graze the space that surrounds her pushing her forward with such grace.
She is our messenger. She is our guide through realms and shadows. She who flies silent and stealthy, she who sees all, she who appears again and again in all forms. She who we search for, together, there in-between worlds. She is our link, our connection. She is who transports us through time and space, dreams and multiverses. She is who binds us together.

I began to wonder are we not the same? The owl, myself and my other? Our skin just a veil we slip through like the parting of a curtain. We are parallel and yet forever intersected.

Hill River and Hill River Station.
The Hill River which runs parallel to the Hutt River rises in the Clare Valley near Penwortham. The Hill River was named after early explorer John Hill. William Robinson was the first lease holder of the Hill River run around 1841 with a partner but he was soon the sole lessee. Records show that in 1844 Robinson had 8,000 ewes and 2,500 wethers on his Hill River run. He gave explorer John Horrocks of Penwortham thirteen goats to take with him on his 1846 expedition to the north of South Australia. William Robinson sold the lease of Hill River run to Charles B Fisher in 1855 as Robinson thought Yorke Peninsula was better country but he was mistaken. Robinson built the first part of an impressive homestead at Hill River in 1849. In 1855 after he sold his leasehold to Charles. B. Fisher of Bundaleer, Fisher converted 60,000 acres of leasehold land to freehold land. He ran 40,000 sheep on Hill River and grew wheat. By 1875 50,000 sheep were shorn at Hill River and cropping was also a major activity. 4,250 acres were cropped in that year with a ploughing team of 34 horses and it was harvested by 37 strippers each with a four horse team! Hill River run was the largest farm in SA. In 1876 Fisher ( a son of James Hurtle Fisher, First Resident Commissioner of the SA Company) sold Hill River to John Howard Angas , a son of George Fife Angas. John Howard Angas paid the amazing price of £220,000 for the property which was then about 60,000 freehold acres. The Angas family still reside in and own Hill River station. The homestead was enlarged and extended in 1827 with the same sandstone as the original 1849 part. The stone was quarried on the property. These extensions were made when Dudley Angas married Mary Abbot in 1925. But the government forced closer settlement at various times and Hill River station today is a mere 4,000 acres but with extensive stone outbuildings from the grand days of the station remain on the property.
I took this inside the O2 Dome (formerly the Millennium Dome) in London recently. It's basically a big advertising sign, where waves of colour flow up and along these spheres.
I was in London to visit some friends and also to see my prize-winning photo My Eyes on the Prize? in the Digital Camera Photographer of the Year 2007 exhibition at The Mall Galleries. Buckingham Palace is at the end of the road, and evidently Prince Charles and Prince Phillip pop in to the gallery on occasion, so maybe I'll be shooting some portraits by Royal appointment? ;-)
