THE SIDE DISH
I would like to share with you my interest in photography, even if your interest lies in furniture. I am fond of outdoor photography because I have to be there at the right time to get the image, that's part of the joy, but that can be difficult to schedule into this busy world. Studio work allows complete control which is a different experience. I started out with a film camera a long time ago but its all digital these days. Capturing the image is only half of the process now, with computer editing being at least as important a skill, and there's always another trick to learn.
Furniture design and photography are both technical and creative at the same time which is the attraction for me. From there they differ substantially. Making something out of solid materials is a total contrast to being somewhere on location recording flat 2d images. Although I studied Fine art at VCA in Melbourne I have not been a big exhibitor of my photographs in galleries. This site is a way for me to share my interest with you, I hope you enjoy it. "
