2012 Moran Contemporary Photographic Prize
I was really happy to hear this week that one of my photos – ‘The Offering’ – had been selected as a semi-finalist in this year’s Moran Contemporary Photographic Prize.
Some welcome news after a pretty tumultuous year…

I’ve bitten the bullet, and finally made a facebook page for my photos.

Sleeping under the stars
And the stars they bleed together like the flames inside a forge
The Earth is molten, time is stretching on a rack
From “Highplains Mailman” by Gareth Liddiard
Weep
One of the challenges I’ve found so far in my Project 366 is finding inspiration, and after two weeks I was a bit over it, expecting ideas and images to just be there for the taking. Once I accepted it wasn’t going to be easy – especially when you’re already busy and not getting out and about much – and realised I’d have to work hard for a decent image each day, it’s renewed my interest again. And this has been one of the results – a double exposure, combined in post with a failed polaroid:
Northern Line
We went up to the northern rail line so I could test an old Polaroid camera. Long story short, Polaroid didn't work, so I photographed some weeds instead. Image taken with Nikon D90 and Nikkor 85mm 1:1.8D lens
Swimming & soft grass
