A time-lapse shot of my laptop running its screensaver. Though shot on film, I used a digital camera to get the aperture / and timing settings right before committing a film shot.

The same setup, but with a chest xray hung between the camera and the regulator. It would be interesting to shoot with backlighting behind the whole thing.

This is the regulator for my airbrush. I like the shadow was set so that it had this creepyness, it lurks there behind the regulator itself.

Another shot of the reservoir gatehouse. Also burned to darken the sky down.

In theory, it’s bad to have the edges (or any part) of the image left paper-white. At least, that’s what my photography teachers said.

One of the gatehouses for Petersham water reservoir. I love the fact that old-timey utilitarian public infrastructure has such decorative architectural details.

This pic was shot on film, and hand printed. The sky was originally blown out and white, so a bit of hand burning was required (exposing the area to be burned for longer, so it darkens).

The Petersham water reservoir. It looms over the suburb like a fighting machine from War Of The Worlds. There’s something very physical about the grainyness of black & white film, and it kindof has this interesting flatness because of the highish depth of field.

I’d like to empty it out and convert it into a house. The tank itself is over three stories tall.
