panorama - Wilpena / South Australia (Tue 12 Apr 2016)

Drew Kelly on Photography:

photography should allow you to transplant yourself to the moment it was taken

via Instagram of the Week: Candid, Vibrant Street Photos From Inside North Korea by Jenna Gattett.

This photo I made on my Phone as the sun set over Wilpena on the distant horizon near the lone tree

The panorama covers more than 180 degrees and I used the tree to hide the sun and my shadow is hidden in the shadow of the tree on the left. My Mum and Joanne are in there also.

Everything about this photo reminds me of this memorable moment so far from anywhere. A moment I will remember for a lifetime.

Eric Kim on Monochrome:

I find myself shooting more black and white recently is because I feel that there is some sort of aesthetic beauty and bliss that comes from the simplicity of a monochromatic image

Stance - Streetshooter (Wed 11 May 2016)

trees / rocks / shadows - Wilpena (Tue 12 Apr 2016)

Streetshooter on Stance:

I felt an energy come into me, not over me but into me. [..] What was born back then was not just me as a photographer but a photographer with a stance. I mean it gave birth to a realization of my own self worth. [..]

I don’t practice photography, I live it. I don’t just make photos, my photos define me as well. [..]

It requires a firm appreciation of the whole that we are and a total committed love of what we do and why we do it and how we do it.

Perception - Colin Pantall (Tue 10 May 2016)

trees / water / reflection - Wilpena (Tue 12 Apr 2016)

Colin Pantall on Perception:

To open the doors of perception we need to go beyond this world. Which is not easy because it is familiar to us and provides a foundation for us. But if you really want to step beyond this world, all you have to do is step – and you are out.

Tim Winton on Australia:

[Australia is] a place where there is more landscape than culture… Everything we do... is still overborne and underwritten by the seething tumult of nature
