journal flash photography london

Living in West London in 2003, under the Heathrow flight path, meant that I got to see airplanes flying over head all day every day. I recall counting one plane every two minutes.

I took to photographing them, as they had become such a pervasive part of daily life. Later, I conceived of a Flash app that would randomly compose a tiled image from a list of photographs

The output shows a grid of rectangles, displaying every hue and shade of London's crisp blue winter skies. Clicking the app would produce a new composition and set of relationships to enjoy.

The image below is a screenshot and not the app.

News

New Season

A busy Perth winter is turning into a busy Perth spring. Which is just the way we like it.

Cicerellos

I had fun working with Busara on the new Cicerello's website.

Inspiration

Thinking for a Living

Serious inspiration, on tap. Thinking for a Living is an online magazine for designers and other aesthetes. The main attractions for me are the thoughtfully written feature articles and the carefully curated list of links.

Pictory

Pictory is a beautifully designed and tightly curated photography showcase. The combination of large beautiful images with human stories delivers a compelling experience, not dissimilar to that of pouring over a high quality book.
