St Peters

The imagination, like the universe, has no bounds and our minds are triggered into a swirling creative space when confronted with the unknown. This is why traveling to unfamiliar and exotic lands can be such a transcendent experience. The extraordinary thing with photography is that the same can happen, even in familiar places, by concentrating on the particular rather than the obvious, and in that way, turning our observation beyond a routine range of perception.

This series of landscapes was the result of working for many years in Sydney’s unholy enclave of St Peters: a noisy, busy, magnificent part of the world surrounded by traffic on all sides and above.
