The Performance

Unnamed Forty One — Sidelong :: (click image to see more) When I first began to seriously shoot black and white in University, my parents gave me the three Ansel Adams books - The Camera, The Negative and The Print. In them Ansel says something like the negative is the musical score and the print ...

Something Interesting

Unnamed Forty — Sidelong :: (click image to see more) There's an element of chance or accident to what I do that I welcome and embrace. I'll have an idea for a project and work out the parameters and methodology to execute it, but during the execution I'm open to chance and accidental happenings that might ...

Shadows On Our Eyes

Unnamed Thirty Nine — Sidelong :: (click image to see more) As with all the other things I do, when I make images I don't think too much while I do it - or maybe I adopt a benign neglect as I perform it and perhaps that helps the images work out. The problems begin, ...

Memory – Of The Moment

Unnamed Thirty Eight — Sidelong :: (click image to see more) I find it really difficult to keep my perspective - I'm perpetually in the moment, so it's really difficult to see growth and change. It's good to be in the moment for creativity but it leads me to despair when I can't see improvement - ...

Still Struggling Along

Unnamed Thirty Seven — Sidelong :: (click image to see more) That about sums it up - nothing special, just struggling along. It's what we're all doing.

Funky Feeling

Unnamed Thirty Six — Sidelong :: (click image to see more) I was feeling a little bored with this series but yesterday while completing some images I felt renewed interest. It seemed less of a struggle to get what I want which felt good - so I'm continuing on. Surprisingly I've shot a lot of material so far ...

Bike Clamped Camera

Unnamed Thirty Five — Sidelong :: (click image to see more) Lately I've had several people stop and ask me about the somewhat crazy looking rig I've got clamped to my bike for making these images - even in traffic while riding. It always surprises me that anyone would notice but how could you miss ...

Vehicle or Art Form

Unnamed Thirty Four — Sidelong :: (click image to see more) When I first began thinking about this post I thought I had a clear argument, but now as I write it - not so sure. In this year's Toronto Contact Photography Festival catalogue it seems a lot of the publicized exhibitions are photography as ...

Loosen Up

Unnamed Thirty Three — Sidelong :: (click image to see more) I spend so much time wrapped up in my own mind trying to work out what to say with my images I forget it's not really necessary to do this. What I do photographically is what comes intuitively - as it should be, so ...

Motivation

Unnamed Thirty Two — Sidelong :: (click image to see more) I recently read some advice - sort of, from 5 different artists. Sort of, as in not all of them were necessarily spoken by the artist but perhaps gleaned from their work and statements. Reading the lessons made me happy and calm. They're mostly ...

Visual Cortex

Unnamed Thirty One — Sidelong :: (click image to see more) Still not entirely certain where my ideas or reasons for making this work come from, although I wonder if some of this might resemble some raw internal visual input. Perhaps this is akin to the raw signal from our optic nerve before processing and ...

Convergent Is Up

Unnamed Twenty Nine, 2018 — Sidelong :: (click image to see more) The Convergent series is up on my site — (click here to have a look) - which includes a new group of previously unpublished images! I've got a lot of work ahead preparing all the Convergent image files for printing but feels good to have the series complete ...
