the fine art of photography
My latest gallery to be featured is the “waterworks” gallery. Everything to do with water can be found in this gallery, sea, boating, animals, beach, macro work is all in there. A lot of the images were taken around the Docklands area in Melbourne, Australia, others around the Mornington Peninsula.

I’ve added many new images to all the galleries, some really moody and atmospheric works. Have a browse through and let me know what you think. Just click on the image below.
I’ve also created a new gallery which is exclusively pictures taken with my iphone and processed using instagram.

A number of my works are currently on display at Pekish Restaurant as part of the Hobsons Bay Council’s “Art in Public Places Exhibitions” 15 works in total plus a number of other prints located around the bar.
Art in Public Places is held in a number of venues around Melbourne’s West and is now in its 7th year. Please check out the website for locations near you.
The exhibition runs from 8th March to 17th April 2011.
To view my works head to Pekish 1 Mason St, Newport, Melbourne.
I discovered a wonderful new world of macro water photography recently while washing my car. The fine water spray coming to rest on the roof and windows caught my eye as they glistened in the sun.
Here are some of the results.
I kind of got carried away with the photographing and as a result, the car is still dirty! All images are available for purchase by clicking on the image and following the prompts or simply by contacting me.
I thought I might post some before and after shots that might interest you.
The first was taken from a moving train in Beijing. I spotted the buildings and thought they looked interesting. The original shot is nothing special as you can see here.
I cropped a lot out of this image, converted to mono and added a second texture image for mood. I also cloned out distracitng buildings and ended up with (what I think) looks like something from an old Eastern block country.
The second shot was also taken in Beijing at the Forbidden City. The original has lots of distractions in it including people, light posts and tunnels.
First I converted the image into square format, removed the posts, people and tunnels, filled in the holes and added texture and colour layers to create some mood and atmosphere.
I enjoy reworking otherwise ordinary images, changing their original appearance to make them more appealing.
Both of the reworked images are available for purchase in the “image galleries” inside the “simple by design” and “urban art” galleries.
I’ve added a whole lot of new work into the galleries. Here are just a few.

I’ve been busy lately working on some new images for the galleries. Here are just a few examples of what I’ve been up to.

I have entered in to an exciting new venture with a very good friend of mine to have my artwork displayed on the walls of his new restaurant, “Pekish” @ 1 Mason St, Newport, located in Seagulls Hotel.
There are a number of works hanging on the walls and around the bar area and I’ll be rotating the pieces regularly.
If you’d like some fine food followed by some fine art, please drop in and say g’day to Dave (formerly from ET’S Hotel in Prahran) who will definitely look after you.
The prints are all for sale. Please speak to Dave if you’re interested in purchasing them.
