As far as I can see all these shots are uneven in focus/out of focus, this is due to me Dropping the camera last summer, probably the last ones I will shoot with the camera

On my second visit to Lake Cowal back in early December, I was told about a place that was of great interest to geologists visiting the nearby gold mine. This trip I headed out to have a look.
Following is the information I was given to explain what I was going to see.
"The outcrop is part of the Booberoi Fault and features sheared Late Silurian-Early Devonian Edols Conglomerate (Sherwin, 1996) showing stretched quartzite and vein-quartz pebbles in a quartz white mica-chlorite matrix, which was probably a muddy sandstone. Mesoscopic kinematic indicators show at least two movement episodes: a horizontal sinstral movement and a near vertical reverse (west side up) movement. The movement direction can be discerned from the asymmetry of the matrix surrounding the pebbles and the mineral elongation within the matrix."

There's a lens fault in my camera: a dark smudge appears on each photo top, just right of centre. It gets worse the more the lens is zoomed (it's pretty weak in this picture, partly because the sky is quite dark, partly because it's not zoomed much).
I've edited it out of several of the photos (including multiple occurrences one of the panoramas), but that's a right pain. Looks like I might need a new camera (it doesn't seem to be on the outside of the lens).
The Cuban people are falling behind everyone except North Korea. It isn't capitalism's fault, but a Malignant Narcissist named FIDEL CASTRO.
In fact, had we gone into the reservation we would have missed this... along the edge of the slope in the foreground there is a slip of the land. I'm guessing a small earthquake has caused a fault line. It was around a kilometre in length.
LANDeSCAPES
I am intrigued with parallel universes, space/time warps and other manifestations of altered, alternative realities. In these pieces, I have often used a mirror to reflect one direction in a landscape while photographing the other.
I stage my “landscapes” at the boundaries of differing scenic features such as natural/man-made, mountainous/desert, hillside/beach. In this way I am readily able to show two realities at once. In essence each image shows two points of view; I (as the documentarian) am located between these two views. Essentially, I am in the image (sandwiched between realities) yet not visible.
In some pieces I have digitally pierced the mirror to create a portal, a door, from one reality to the other.
The resulting photos are then manipulated in my computer; recombined, layered, to best convey the duality of reality.
