Silent Spaces

Silent Spaces

"This is how space begins, with words only, signs traced on the blank page. To describe space: to name it, to trace it, like those portolano-makers who saturated the coastlines with the names of harbours, the names of capes, the names of inlets, until in the end the land was only separated from the sea by a continuous ribbon of text. Is the aleph, that place in Borges from which the entire world is visible simultaneously, anything other than an alphabet?"Georges Perec silent space over the inlet at dusk...ツ ツ ツ * Sony Alpha a77 DSLR with Sony 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 SAM lens My work is for sale via Getty Images and at Redbubble and 500px ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- © All rights reserved.

Into Futures Past

Into Futures Past

"We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations."Anaïs Nin New Zealand is a strange country... in some ways stuck in the past in others busy leaping into the future ツ ツ ツ * Sony Alpha a77 DSLR with Sony 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 SAM lens My work is for sale via Getty Images and at Redbubble and 500px ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- © All rights reserved.

Sunset Breeze

Sunset Breeze

"After all, reading is arguably a far more creative and imaginative process than writing; when the reader creates emotion in their head, or the colors of the sky during the setting sun, or the smell of a warm summer's breeze on their face, they should reserve as much praise for themselves as they do for the writer - perhaps more."Jasper Fforde ツ ツ ツ * Sony Alpha a77 DSLR with Sony 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 SAM lens My work is for sale via Getty Images and at Redbubble and 500px ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- © All rights reserved.
