A reference to a common journey. No matter where we are from, no matter what our race, our ancestors traveled here by boat. Each made the decision to undertake the arduous journey over many months, traveling here from distant shores in search of a new life on new lands.

Image number 3 of 9.

I have a lot of fun with this. Truth be told my intention was to make an entirely different picture this day but the act putting vision into practice eluded me. Instead this picture was an unexpected but welcome result.

It's important to for a picture to tell a story or invite the view to find their own in order to give an image a presence.

It would be all to easy to explain each piece, the meaning, the process but with this series the process is the viewer drawing out a part of there own experiences and relating it to what they see in front of them.

It's all in the Gallery

"HEY I AM BACK". I have been absent for a long time but would like to get this blog back to what it used to be starting with news of my first solo exhibition at the Whakatane Museum Gallery.

The exhibition opened last Friday with at least 80 people turning up to show their support which was quite humbling. I will be posting image from the exhibition over the coming days starting today.

Enjoy.

Model: Emma

Emma was a first time model who was as nervous as any I have worked with before. With minimal instruction she understood the concept and certainly exceeded expectations.
