I made this photo in Santa Monica, near the city’s center. This is before our California kiddos move to Northern California, so it’s been several years ago. The Rooster was atop a property loaded with similar items. I used Prisma’s Parrot filter on this shot.

While much of my work centres on the theme of memory or its fallibility (this is more strongly evident in my pieces that incorporate or recreate childhood artefacts and toys) a continually re-occurring theme or motif that runs through much of the work is that of the wheeled box or tower. This theme developed through concerns with notions on containment and the urge to possess, and with the lack of mobility or freedom that material possessions bring.
Being the most architectural and theatrical piece in a series of four tower sculptures, all of them on wheels, 'The City' is predominantly made up of fragments of found objects and curios. Yet through the use of tiny display cases and cabinets (themselves made from found materials) I intended to elevate these oddities to the status of artefacts, giving the sculpture the overall appearance of a nightmarish, mobile museum.
“Chisnall’s towering wooden piece is made up of tiny display cases and cabinets made from found materials like skulls, insects and fossils, a kind of modern cabinet of curiosities. Or a nightmarish vision inspired by Jorge Luis Borges. He explains that much like the inhabitants of a big city, each compartmentalised environment plays out its own narrative, seemingly oblivious to that of its neighbour”. Julia Kollewe (journalist – The Guardian & The Independent), 2009.

Michael Rawling’s Elemental Series uses Film and Found Materials at the pictures’ location to create a new type of Landscape artwork.
.
Tiny amounts of water, organic and mineral samples are collected at the site of the photograph, from the very landscape depicted within the picture - and chemically bonded with the film over 6-12 months = the resulting image created more deeply representative of the world we experience.

One problem that I have had is that my Sony Cameras [A7RII and A7RIII] did not have GPS and because I take so many photographs I often cannot identify where I took a photograph or sometimes I incorrectly describe a location.
A few days ago I upgraded to a Sony A7RIV and of course it did not have GPS. However, I explored the possibility of getting my camera and iPhone to communicate via Bluetooth and hopefully geo-tag my photographs. Sony does supply an application that is supposed to do this but according to most reviewers it does not work or at the best it is very intermittent and is to be avoided. Anyway, over three days I devoted much time and effort to trying to get the idea to work but with no success.
Today I decided that maybe the issue was that the camera was confused by all the Bluetooth devices in my home so I went to a local park and went through the setup procedure one more time and immediately everything began to work as required.
