2025 catch up
Well here we are again. Back. Spring in the clearing in the forest, feeling like it will be a hot summer. Firstly. Made a video of “Oldies”, venturing into images from AI. Pretty happy with it as a guide. In an ideal world, I would find people and places and re shoot it with actors…

Skittering ibises
Sunset smoke at my friends’ place in Sunshine Coast hinterland. Lots of birds settling down for the night, playing in the lake.
