I can’t believe that it’s two months today, since I last wrote in my blog. At this rate, it can hardly even be called a blog!

The truth is though, that a lot has happened in these two months, and right now, it’s hard to pull myself away from life and the stuff that it is throwing at me; even for five minutes.

Everything that is going on seems to be of the nature that does not translate into art, or it’s just practical stuff, that just needs to be done, and leaves nothing left.

I’ve been buying a house for the last few months, and I can’t believe how complex and demanding that that can be. I won’t write about it here, but between living a life that the banks want, and finding a home, art has been pushed to the distant corners of my life.

My photographic practice, which can no longer wear the title of “practice”, has become a distant and almost abstract concept. The weeks and months I spent in Korea, almost entirely devoted to photography, have become a nostalgic memory.

These days, small things catch my attention, in a visual sense, and have to be captured with a camera phone for later study; or I drive past something that I find interesting and can manage to safely stop the car and get out to make some images, on a good day.

My output has dropped down severely; but I am not giving up on it. There is certainly a radical transition happening in my work however.

Images, which were engaged heavily on studies of people and concepts of the street, have become far more distant and abstract landscape compositions, at best.

The concentration and rigor that is required to become at one with the energy on the street no longer seem possible in the far more dispersed Australian city.

The knowledge of vastness and the sheer scale and mystery of the Australian situation seems to have an influence on one.

With this in mind, I managed this weekend, to make some images that I’ve wanted to make for some time now. I made it out to Mount Macedon, near Hanging Rock, somewhere that has been of a lot of interest to me for a long time. I also made some images of the largest drive-in movie screen in Australia, which is located in Coburg, North of Melbourne city.

I hope you find these images interesting, and I will post an image of hanging rock next week.
