Conjunction Road

The dirt road leads to the crescent Moon and Venus under the Milky Way.

As we move out of lockdown in the ACT I am sure there are a lot of people looking forward to getting back out and moving back into some sort of normal. What does that look like, only time will tell.

I'm grateful that as the restrictions have been easing gradually I've been able to get out into nature again. There's something soothing about being able to be out under the stars into spaces that I haven't been able to access for a while.

While out here running a day to night timelapse I had some time to reflect on how thankful I am for my wife. She knows how this time helps me and my mindset and without her support I am not sure I would be doing a lot of this. The weather had been fickle and I'd been letting all the weather apps dictate whether I was going out or not, then realising later in the evening that I should've gone. So after some sage advice - "If you're not our there, you aren't capturing anything." - I took off on Saturday night to make the most of the night and the stars. Thank you. ❤️

Stay safe everyone as we loosen up.

2019 – A YEAR BEFORE LOCKDOWN

200+ AUSTRALIAN ARTISTS
58 AUSTRALIAN PHOTOGRAPHERS
100% LIVE MUSIC
[Proud Supporter of Support Act]

Prior to COVID, life was a lot simpler. Experiencing live music was a lot simpler.

Australian artists toured the country, Australian audiences filled the venues, and Australian photographers captured many of these shows.

This entire portion of our lives has been put on hold since the beginning of 2020, and everybody involved in the music industry is hurting.

2019 – A YEAR BEFORE LOCKDOWN is a short-run publication that documents life leading up to lockdown, where 58 Australian photographers captured 200+ Australian artists during simpler times.

“Remember to look up at the stars and now down at your feet.
Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious." Stephen Hawking

The dark skies of Namadgi National Park make it so easy to behold the wonder of the Universe near us. I am extremely grateful that I have this so close to us.

Serenity!

"Peace is present right here and now, in ourselves and in everything we do and see. Every breath we take, every step we take, can be filled with peace, joy, and serenity. The question is whether or not we are in touch with it. We need only to be awake, alive in the present moment." Thich Nhat Hanh (Peace Is Every Step)

"When your world moves too fast and you lose yours

"When your world moves too fast and you lose yourself in the chaos, introduce yourself to each colour of the sunset.” – Christy Ann Martine

A few shots from sunset and the moonrise Tuesday evening from up on Mount Taylor.

The amazing colours that are on tap when you look around. East or West, there is a riot of colours in our skies at the end of the day. Then add in the cheesy look of the moon when it first rises in our East and even in these weird times, there are things to be grateful for...

“For most people, we often marvel at the beauty of a sunrise or the magnificence of a full moon, but it is impossible to fathom the magnitude of the universe that surrounds us.” — Richard H. Baker

Dream Horse 🐴

This shot from one of the last times I was able to be at my favourite place before lockdown.

I wanted to create a dreamy feel to the shot. So by doing a long exposure during the day which would allow me to blow out all of the highlights and help achieve the effect.

I can't wait to be able to go back.

Until then, it's a dream I'm looking forward to living again.
