Rain City
First shots with my Canon A1. Got up early to shoot everybody making their way to work in this shitty Melbourne weather last week. Tmax 400 shot at 1600 iso and self developed. Still getting used to the light meter in this camera which has resulted in a few under exposed frames but you get the idea.
The World Is Stable Now, People Are Happy
Who are we? How do we live, try, succeed, fail and die? What motivates us to learn, interact, change and progress, and ultimately, how do we justify our existence?
The photographic works included in this exhibition are the product of four minds that began to take notice. As students, workers and citizens of the world, their home town of Melbourne initialised the approach while the greater global community aided in informing the outcome. Although these four artists have come from varied backgrounds, their love of film and the art of chemical photography has brought them together and provided an avenue to take a discourse of their environment and represent it visually.
The questions being raised and the works being exhibited are one and the same, insofar as these artists could be asking: this is what we see, we know you see it too, so what can we do? But then again: “The world is stable now, people are happy”
So My exhibition with homies Tim Regard, Mick Thomas and Damien Melchiori opens on Thursday 7th June at E55 bar. If you live in Melbourne, come and check it out. There will be free beer courtesy of Dos Blockos!!
Facebook event is here.
After Dark
This was for a school project a few weeks back. Shot on my Mamiya 645e with Portra 400 film, at F16 and an exposure time (on average) of 30 seconds.
This is my first attempt at this kind of thing. Just wish I was Will Govus or Patrick Joust.
