Found a couple of forgotten rolls of HP5. Pushed both the cunts to 1600 to be safe. Some good stuff. 3rd image, Andrew and Charlie, is at Bootleggers in Newtown, right before the final All Mother performance - at least for now. Then some scattered images of my friend April and their new musical project, also including Charlie. Other special people include Abby and Rachel. Motorbikes, date nights, and the beach.

A tough, if spiritual September.
The process of self sabotage is now self-sustaining. I have buried it beneath a facade of ‘minimalism’ or ‘life optimisation’ but the truth is I’m just afraid. Afraid and ashamed that I am no longer contributing to the beautiful fabric that is the world around me. My tank is empty, I’m running on the fumes of potential and creative possibility.

My photography is automatic. I will walk, I will seek and study the quality of light, because it brings me peace. Is that enough? Why do I feel compelled... obligated to make something of this ‘work’? Instagram was the relief valve to this feeling, but I have left the platform for now. Instead I will surrender my photos to this stream of self-indulgence and reflection, for no reason but to liberate them from my hard drives, and my conscience.

Please enjoy these photos, all from a single roll of colourplus, almost exclusively shot within a few blocks of my home.
