Kilometres to where?

I took this image while travelling by camper van along the A1 Princes highway in New South Wales earlier this year, it was a devastating sight to see so many areas of natural beauty destroyed by the bush fires that took place at the end of last year. This particular image completely encapsulated for me the depth of destruction and the lengthy rebuilding process that would inevitably follow. The road sign has an arborescent effect with the brown and green insignia and the singed lines of metal reminiscent of the charred trees behind.

I am constantly striving to observe and form my own unique frame of the visual situation laid out in front of me either in colour or in black and white, studying the subject matter and exploring its potential visual connection/interpretation beyond just representing the view in front of the camera, reshaping its context.

Many of my photographic projects originate from a desire to invite the viewer to witness some of the subtle unseen details of our environment, whether it is an offbeat street scene, a conceptual observation of the natural world or a more intimate study of a person's life and how they function within it, respectively.
