		<title>Galerie Verticale - A Exhibition at The Silo, Saarbruecken, Germany</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At last, a stirring in the rubble of my creative life. 

Great things have happened this week. It has been one of the best weeks for me since arriving back in Australia. 

I have found a wonderful artists' community site called CultureInside, which is run by Gila and Dominique Paris. It has a vibrant collective [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not working for the man&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How refreshing to have time again. To experience a momentary reprieve from working to pay bills. 

The last week has been incredible. People will ask when I return to work: "what did you do?". I'll answer: "nothing, absolutely nothing". 

Actually my answer will be false, but it will be necessary, as in their eyes, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Street</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I've often wondered at why the street proves so elusive to me in Australia? Or, what is it about the street in other cities that attracts me?

The fact is: In terms of photography, my practice turns completely inward when working in Australia and this is becoming very interesting to me. 

When I first arrived here [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flickering</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I'm probably the last person on the Internet to open one of these accounts at Flickr. At the moment I'm having fun experimenting with the interface and learning how to use it. I'm thinking that I will use it to show an edited selection of my images. Whereas with my photoblog I had used it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sweet, sweet suburbia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Flat, featureless, car humming, impersonal suburbs. Fences, walls and roads; neighbours ducking out of front doors and into cars. One division after another. The enemy of thought and pill of despair. The last place I wanted to be, yet with somewhat bitter irony, just like the place where I grew up, albeit in some suburb [...]]]></description>

		<title>Some Dark Images</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A brief note about some of my recent images on my photoblog. I've been scanning some black &#038; white negatives that I've recently rediscovered, not having had access to a darkroom for many years now. I was fortunate to find the Epson V350 scanner, which is a low end flatbed scanner with an option to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Back on my back again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What an interesting day it's been. Dreamy, unreal, disconnected. Not the kind of words that might describe a recipient of violence, but that doesn't change the fact.

I've often noticed this kind of feeling (almost out of body) when involved in arguments, accidents and physical fights. Not that I've seen any of those since my school [...]]]></description>

		<title>Crash</title>
		<description><![CDATA[2:30 AM. Last night. Deafening sounds of splitting metal, breaking glass. A cacophony of sirens, shouting, moaning. 

Just a few metres from my bedroom window, a car had ditched into the park, directly across the street, just metres from my bedroom. I jumped out of bed in a state of total disorientation. First thoughts were [...]]]></description>

		<title>Absence &#038; Guilt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I've found a new job for myself, and the writing I was doing about working in a factory has been put on the long finger, which is dangerous, I know. I've been aware that I should write those things down, while they're still fresh in my mind, but the excitement of the new job, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Four Grey Walls</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back again after a short break to regain my thoughts and recover from a string of thirty plus degree days with high humidity.

A lot has been written about the effects of architecture and space on the psyche, which would be interesting for me to explore and read about in a thorough way, so I can [...]]]></description>
