Omote-sando dori, Tokyo. The road (dori) running between Hara-juku and
Omote-Sando, Tokyo's fashion suburbs. The architecture of the fashion
houses Dior, Louis Vitton, Prada and Tod's is as stunning as the
designer fashions they are home to. During the winter on a cloudy day the glass and concrete almost blend into the background, a far cry from those that cloth themselves in these stores.</div>

<br />
Overseeing the mighty steel and coal port, cargo ships coming and going, storms arriving and leaving almost with the frequency of the ships. A mighty experience and an even money challenger to what was going in the studio itself. Having experienced the painting process on a couple of occasions I had decided that if possible to capture I'd attempt to photograph the studio where Dino Consalvo lets go of everything and his paintings are born.<br />

'Big Beach' (or Oneloa in Hawaiian) is referred to, in the guide book, as the crowning glory of this park. Climbing over a volcanic headland we found 'Little Beach' or (don't go there with your daughter; it's a nudist beach in any language).<br />
<br />
This part of Maui is just stunning. With fish tacos we picked up along the way this was an awesome spot to enjoy the late afternoon. A little late and pretty well all swimmed out from earlier in the day we regretfully stayed on dry land. That won't happen next time.<br />

With great luck and perseverance I will attain my goal and achieve happiness, fitness and enlightenment etc. (or at least a hearty appetite)<br />
<br />
It's an honourable quest, well within my abilities, and so rich with rewards. Some of the beautiful landscapes I have so far encountered.<br />

It's been a while, and though things are beginning to change it was a lovely walk. The air is fresh and clear, the only sound the waves pushing the sand back and forth. As usual the beach, for a time belongs to only me. It's a fine feeling knowing there is somewhere so natural and unaffected so close by. I am surely spoiled here and aim to make the most of this amazing place while it lasts.<br />

Looking to the East not much has changed, though further up off the sand the ugly signs of the upcoming development are in full bloom. Most of the bush has been cleared. Areas that were meant to have been remediated after the mining operations (but never were) have now been pushed around into a series of hills and dales reminiscent of every other development site you've ever seen. Mulch from the minced up native bush borders the site to prevent the loss of sand erosion with the runoff, with large mounds of 'mulch' sit at regular intervals around the perimeter.<br />
<br />
Saving the bush walking community a good deal of effort Rosecorp has conveniently relocated the native bush into easy to access mounds which walkers are free to circumnavigate at their leisure. The experience is exhilarating.<br />

Could this be a sign of things to come? Sadly, I think it's inevitable.James Murphyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16944299777512295767noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6187056639089138165.post-2044726985147967382014-06-15T04:48:00.001-07:002014-06-16T03:44:55.807-07:00Everyones Best FriendI have a friend who loves dogs. She fosters neglected dogs at her home and when a new owner comes along, with a tear in her eye she farewells her four legged friend. She does this selflessly and totally out of love for an often forgotten minority.<br />
<br />
Spending more and more time making images on the coast, particularly around the ocean baths of Newcastle I started to pick up on the number of dogs that were out taking people for a walk. Starting to watch the dogs as they passed I realised that they were already sussing me.<br />
<br />
I began to note that there was a fearless eye contact being made by almost every dog I passed. Whereas it's often difficult to engage a fellow human eye to eye, the humble K9 is totally up for it. As the human cruises coolly by, trailing haplessly behind and sticking to the correct side of the path, the dog is making full eye contact as it passes by. It's almost a staring contest, and they never blink first.<br />
<br />
I decided to start responding to their gaze and snap some images. They are truly the perfect subject. Completely relaxed under the stare of the lens. Humble and unselfconscious. Full of emotional responses and comfortable with the display of any emotion they happen to be feeling from moment to moment, love or rage, joy or sorrow.<br />

I think that everything of beauty had the intent at it's heart to be something of beauty.<br />
It was not necessary to go to a gallery to find art. Is it ever?<br />
<br />
(Hey and please don't get me wrong and think I am comparing a Japanese art gallery to a toire, I'm just saying that art is where you find it)<br />

A bit further south from where I have been walking and into the Wyong Shire. I walked into this area on a fire trail with the usual accompanying debris by the side. Washing machines, wheel rims, bottles, paint cans etc. If it can rust or shatter you'll find it in the bush in profusion. Oh and it helps if it is not particularly damaged by fire like the rest of the environment. Even the dumped bundles of newspapers haven't burnt, while all around them is ash.<br />
<br />
After walking for a distance I leave the track, something now possible since the fire came through. It's beautiful and liberating to walk through the trees and really feel the slope and curve of the land. None of the pungent prick, the stab and scratch, the spiny barrier the bush usually provides to block free access - there is no bush. The only impediment to my progress across the land is the frequent fallen tree and these are easily circumnavigated.<br />
<br />
The thing I begin to notice after a while is an absence of the usual detritus. No rubbish anywhere. In general I cant avoid the rusted metal and broken bottles that litter the landscape. Now I've started to look for it and to my astonishment I find nothing. No rotor from a washing machine. No rusting car body. No soft drink can or bottle top. It's extraordinary and it feels very odd after all I've seen in the past weeks (and years).<br />
<br />
The conclusion: no tracks into the bush = no dumping of rubbish. Simple.<br />
<br />
I believe I have discovered an area free and clear of any human interactivity. I believe, in a haze of fantasy, that I have stumbled into some sort of bushy paradise. Has any fellow human set foot here before. Am I the first upright walking biped to navigate this zone. All evidence points in that direction. I revel in these notions for a time as I enjoy this experience. It does feels like as though I am an explorer. And perhaps I am one of the first to see the landscape here in this way at this time.<br />
<br />
The bush at the moment, may not have the natural beauty we usually associate with our natural environment, but right now is an extraordinary time to go into the bush for a walk.<br />

Of course it is the darker tree with the blackened bark. Severely burnt to a char. Or is it the tree with the blackened crevice on the side which seems to indicate a hollow. This tree has actually been burnt out completely through its centre. There is nothing but an empty shell, but this tree will continue to grow and thrive in it's own way.<br />
<br />
Is the odd tree the third image? They are not all gum trees. This third tree is an Angophora and not a member of the Eucalyptus family at all. These beautiful trees look similar to the gum trees common to the Australian bush. They also share the same habitats as many of the Eucalypts, but on closer inspection they are not in the same botanical classification.<br />
<br />
Perhaps the fourth tree is the odd tree out due to the particularly beautiful patterning of the bark. I believe this is a Scribbly gum, it is a member of the Eucalyptus family. It is an outstandingly beautiful tree and shares habitat with all of these other specimens.<br />
<br />
If you picked the last of the images then by my classification you would be correct. This tree tree is an outstanding specimen, it has beautifully textured and patterned bark, it has been burnt by the fire but not in an area visible in the image. It is actually an Angophora as well.<br />
<br />
No this tree is different to all of the others because it is no longer a living specimen. The fire had gotten into the tree at the base and burnt out the roots, They were still smouldering the day I made this image, some two weeks after the fire had passed through. The tree in the last image is lying on it's side, burnt off at the base. The roots have a reasonable chance of surviving and regrowing a new multiple trunked tree, but this trunk and branches will return to the earth from which they came.<br />
<br />
Sad yet still a beautiful and magnificent tree.<br />

Every day since the fire I have walked in the once familiar bush behind my home and in the surrounding area. There has been no time since I began walking here that I have had this feeling of discovering something new every single day. There is so much that I have never seen before and may never see again. Each day, even each moment, the landscape through which I traverse is different.<br />
<br />
It surprises me the resilience of this fire. We were evacuated two weeks ago tonight. The fire burnt through, the flames went away, the RFS mopped up, the days have cooled down, a heavy rain storm hit the area... Every day when I walk in the bush, I find many smouldering tree trunks, red hot coals, wafts of smoke through the once solid and impenetrable bush.<br />
<br />
I pissed on a burning log today, as I do everyday. I only wish I had more to give. <br />

I've written before about distinctly difficult and memorable camping trips. About fears and dangers in the Royal National Park. About that precarious cliff-side drive north from Wollongong. This was the special occasion route on the way to or from the fortnightly visit to my grandmothers home in Wollongong.<br />
<br />
Not sure what brought about any of these special occasions, beauty, boredom or belligerence. I've always liked the south coast's rugged and precarious landscape. Coal peeped through the cliff face along which we drove and collected in our swimmers in the surf of many of the beaches. Back to the unscathed small towns I have again started to trek with my girls. This is the simple life.<br />
<br />
Three nights in a tent. iPods blazing through the night. Wind blowing non stop. Icy waters and the constant half glimpse of that elusive shark, dolphin or whales fin amongst the white water between sand and horizon. These images collected on the recent visit a fellow image maker alongside, and a sculpture on an early morning walk with the youngster.<br />

But I haven't. I've just noticed that I've been collecting these things all of this time, and just not realised. I've called these things 'urban features' because that's what they are. They are the furniture (literally sometimes) that we live with.<br />
<br />
I continue to watch the world around me, and I was going to say, crumble away. I don't mean that as a bad thing. Another quote from a young Woody Allen, "I read in the paper that all matter is decaying" Young Woody was trying to use this as an excuse not to do his homework, "What's the point" (Annie Hall)<br />
<br />
It's interesting the amount of things that people want and then don't want. The cycle of life and death, decay and recomposition. The things I am drawn to are myriad. I know I'll never have the time to survey them all, but I'm on holidays right now so I'm going to give it a red hot go.<br />

Some of whom come to visit and stay over. It's a special time in that I get to see kids of my children's age behaving nicely, politely and with respect. This behavior also has the flow on effect of somehow influencing my own children to adopt a similar approach around the house, at least for the time their friend is about.<br />
<br />
There is another benefit that comes from these visits, and that is unending source of models for my photographic experimentation. One such friend new to the modelling world made a recent visit. It is always lovely to have this friend around and, I believe she enjoyed the session in front of the camera as much as I was pleased with the results. Thanks to you FH.<br />

South-west into the cold mountain air and the colours of autumn. Perversely I have chosen to render these images as toned Black and Whites. They are toned to a sepia, so the colours are at least slightly heading back to the orange of the title. Here the lady of the manor sits in quiet contemplation wondering, where did I leave my iPhone.<br />

We had five lovely days on the road (less one day off for good behaviour). First we returned to an old favorite town, Bathurst. A visit to the Regional Gallery and some top nosh at the local Angus beef specialist. We had the Barra and the pizza (no cheese which raised the eyebrows on our waitress) starting off with dips, tapenade, olive oil and balsamic and more crostini than I could jump over.<br />
<br />
Next stop Orange, where all of these images were taken. We stayed at the the Duntryleague Guesthouse. An amazing colonial home. We had the chapel. Disappointed as the Regional Gallery was in the midst of a changeover, however they still had one gallery operating with an inspiring selection of drawings from their collection. Some wonderful work there including some very fine drawings by John Forrester Clack.<br />
<br />
Dubbo was the site of the third Regional Gallery on our list. We had a disappointing beginning in dear old Dubbo. I think we could have just kept on driving but it was getting late. We stayed the night in a brick fortress planning an early start after running through the gallery at top speed. How wrong our plans were to be. The exhibition Dream Weavers was the best show I have seen in a long while. And that was not all, the other two shows were also show stoppers in their own way. Lagau Dunalaig (island lifestyle), Brian Robinson and Joel Sam, two Torres Straight Islanders and excellent Printmakers. The work was spectacular beyond my initial expectations. We had coffee (and nearly toast) in the sun and chatted with the gallery manager and ended up having a very nice time indeed.<br />

<br />
So happy to have such helpful kids to step up and suffer the glare for their father. Grace's favorite curry tonight is the reward. Olive played the role of stylist (mainly hair) and studio assistant when the need arose.<br />

I'm looking at Edward Muybridge and Sol Lewitt at the moment and there god almighty huge influence in the art world. Take it as bankable that I will be continuing this series with gusto and aiming for exhibition in a gallery space in the future.<br />

After a day in the shops here is some of the new gear we came home with. I'm thinking that we did pretty good.<br />
<br />
Of course any excuse to turn the new flash gear on to get a snap of my girls flash new gear.<br />
