As a change, photography with people. Osaka is a busy place.
Osaka By Night, Pt. 1
Takayama By Night
Takayama is a wonderful little town. There’s several blocks of historically frozen preserved buildings which are the main tourist draw. The alleyways, and commercial streets are a wonderful alternation of light and dark.
Unazukionsen By Day.
Cherry-blossom cascade, and wood-grained concrete.
Unazukionsen By Night, Pt. 2
There’s something to these house-at-night works that I’m still trying to settle my mind upon. It’s a tension between how utterly tranquil the image is, and the fact you’re viewing the outside of a house, in which someone is asleep, blissfully unaware of the photographer outside.
Kurobe Gorge
Some images from Kurobe Gorge.
Unazukionsen By Night, Pt. 1
Quiet night in Unazukionsen.
Shin-Kurobe Station, Kurobe.
Shin-Kurobe Station, intersecting with Kurobe-Unazukionsen Station. Awaiting a train up the valley on the Toyama Chiho Railway, to Unazukionsen.
Itoigawa Staton, Itoigawa.
Itoigawa Staton, Itoigawa. Transitioning from a single-car train to the elevated Hokuriku-Shinkansen line, before proceeding to Kurobe-Unazukionsen Station.
Naoetsu Station, Joetsu.
Naoetsu Station skybridge, after leaving an intercity train to board a coastal village connection with the Echigo Tokimeki Railway Nihonkai-Hisui Line, on a single-car train to Itoigawa Staton in Omachi.
These amazing little trains were courtesy of typhoons, which had flooded the Shinkansen holding yards, and their new trains, servicing a leg of our journey.
Noosa Mnemonic
My latest residency project with Noosa Library Service.
The overall goal was to get multiple artists, starting with me, to recreate their favourite places in Noosa, purely from memory. Each artist will create the location within Virtual Reality, using an application called Tilt Brush, from Google.
Once the places were all created, the goal is to incorporate all of them into a single read-only VR environment, which will have its default state as a 3D topographical map of Noosa.
