Crossing supervisor hats with rain protectors, Kelvin Grove, QLD

One of many quirky photos taken over my fifteen years of working in a school environment, A love for capturing light as a photographer, there's not often a plan of what to do with this kind of image,..... except maybe make a quirky pattern.

Cafe Chair, Fortitude Valley, QLD

On an endless quest to capture light, carrying my camera through Brisbane's Fortitude Valley, Noticing an amazing green chair across the way at a cafe. the chair is less evident in the pattenn, the stronger pattern is of the spaces around the chair.

Wedding shoes on glass table, Bundaleer Rainforest Gardens, Brookfield, Qld

The creative process of making wedding photos interesting for the client, whilst remaining true to your own artistic credibility, is what I love about wedding photography. On a bright sunny day the reflection of the wedding shoes on a glass table was superb. Focusing on the shadow which is sharper than the actual shoes. taking on a whole new look as a pattern.

Beer Kegs, West End, QLD

Walking through the streets of West End, camera in hand, preparing for a photographic walk with West End State Schools photography club students. This image was one of my earliest patterns, to me it looked almost tribal or Maori, I remember just meddling around while watching Friday night footy, there must have been a lot of tries in the game, cause I'm hopeless at doing anything else if there;s a good game of footy on.

Black and White Rope, West End, QLD

another image from wandering around school,chasing the light. Not even sure why these ropes were in the school. love the light edges on the dark rope and the clarity of the white rope. The pattern almost has a three dimensional look about it.

Country Town Cafe, Bowraville, NSW

Wandering through the streets of a little country town, the light fell beautifully into this little cafe. The pattern is really lifted by the greenery outside the screened window and the strong light flowing through. A great combination of Brown tones with a touch of blues and greens.

Blind Dots, Fortitude Valley, QLD

Going to all lengths to not photograph what everyone else is, this photo came out of one of those moments, where I force myself to see different things to photograph. I love what's happened in this pattern, how the lines in the pavement have created such a dominant feature in the diamond shapes.

Convex Mirror, West End, QLD

West End outside the old Pauls Milk factory. Always fascinating what a shaped mirror will produce. The blue sky and blue timber panels, give this pattern a rich blue shade overall. looking closely to the image you'll see me taking the photograph with a notepad under my arm.

Sun Drenched Sidewalk, Bowraville, NSW

Wandering through a small country town, I was fascinated by the different facades of the shop fronts, with in a small area. Must have been a really sunny day,and those awnings weren't offering a lot of shade. The harsh sun and the shadows are what makes this pattern interesting.

Spiky Plant, Russell Island, QLD

This plant can leave a lingering pain if you accidentally get jabbed by it. As a pattern, the edges create something unexpected in a refreshing bright green pallet.
