UNLESS YOU WILL

Who doesn’t love airports? Apart from the over priced food and bad coffee… I simply adore them because we either get to go on adventure, pick up some great friends (others aren’t really worth picking up) or watch people meet again after a long absence. A couple of years ago I got in contact with a few people from Melbourne Airport and asked if I could document comings and goings. They told me if I manage to get a photography grant I might, but I never finished writing that application as Australia hardly fund the arts…. So, last year I was almost arrested in Melbourne for taking some pictures at the airport, and then again, no one seemed to mind this time…. strange blurry little world.

I have been trying to photograph the Australian bush for a while now. I find it “too messy” just too much going on…. and the light is harsh and too white. I absolutely enjoy going bush walking, but when it comes to photographing forests I find the European/Japanese much calmer. So this time instead of concentrating on the bush I started to look forward to photographing my way…. I feel these images leave my walk up to the imagination of what it looked like, without giving evberything away, ie, where I was heading, if I was going or coming…. Some walks are hard to follow and even harder to find your way back. I remember last year, I am sure we wouldn’t have been able to make our way back without pink little ribbons around the trees, as we were in full jungle land and it all started to look a bit the same after 7 hours.
