Who thinks photography is bigger and grander than subject matter?

35mm never looked looked better. It’s a strange format. Nowhere does lighting affect the final result so much as with 35mm.

I remember there being so many amazing crops to do, where lines, limbs and shapes interlocked.

It’s hard to transport myself back from the colourful mid summer tropics of Australia to the deep mid winter fashion of Europe - but I can do it via my pictures 🙌

How times have changed since I started photography. Models are the stars now. A 180 flip. Who cares? Not me. Photographers stars? So what?

Really, the important things are the ‘quality’, and the ‘vision’ - and both have taken a swan dive due to accessibility, commodification and sexualisation.

Yeah it's a highly subject dependent medium for sure. I like it - "Peeling Paint Appreciation Society" :)

I often naively wonder what would happen to the general appreciation or interest in my photography if I changed the subject matter, to abstract architecture, or something 🤣

COVID 2020 was the best for boredom turned creativity and other forms of madness.
