Sometime mid 2014 Queensland University Press approached me with a request to use a photograph of mine that designer Sandy Cull had found on my Flickr feed, for the cover of an upcoming publication ‘The Ash Burner’ by Kari Gislason. This was a new gig for me and working through the release process was a healthy learning curve and possibly an exasperating on for the publishers. The reality of having a well respected designer in the person of Sandy Cull and Q.U.P. having the confidence in the image to carry the book to its conclusion and, in a nice way, validated what I do on a day to day basis.

Giant rotating funnel cloud @ Casey’s Beach
Sometime earlier I posted stills of this event. However I recently uncovered some video footage of this massive spinning cloud mass. It’s been sped up somewhat to make the rotation nice and clear. About 90 seconds of footage dropped to around 10.
Tamar River | Last light
Not long back from a few days in Tasmania. Albeit a short trip, it served to remind me that Tassie is still quite a unique place.
Great Southern
This is old country and all that’s left of part of a range of mountains that formed some 80 million years ago. Getting lost in this is a nasty business.

Witness
You could take the entire population of Australia, dump it in New York and the land wouldn’t miss a beat. There’s a majestic solitude out here that’s hard to define at times let alone capture.
