SATELLITE

August 16, 2017 by Art & Photography

Both Mark Twain and Kahlil Gibran wrote that we all have a dark side. Pink Floyd are quoted as saying that there is no dark side of the moon, that in fact it is all dark, and William Shakespeare wrote that we should not swear by the moon for she changes constantly, like love. “The moon is a loyal companion. It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we […]

Bahia Salinas.Tamarindo.Monteverde.Lake Arenal.Samara: COSTA RICA

February 23, 2017 by Art & Photography

Some time ago I discovered that I prefer photographs that give a personal impression of a place, or subject, in contrast to the perfect & beautiful shot. I feel this is because ultimately perfection is dull, and beautiful can be boring. This shift in values, taste & perception was catalysed by No Matter Where You Go, a small collectable photo book by Jun Kawabata. I bought the book many years ago while living in London. Kawabata has a penchant for bad lighting, […]

PERFECT STORM: LYRICAL | part I

January 25, 2017 by Art & Photography

PERFECT STORM: COLLABORATION | MARTIN DAVIES & VESNA MILINKOVIC PERFECT STORM: LYRICAL | part I → The months leading up to December 2016 were some of the toughest I’ve experienced on a personal level, paralleling the emotions I had experienced when my father passed away in 1984 – my metaphorical car had careered off the cliff and I found myself free-falling into the abyss. As my plummet slowed, I came to a point of zero gravity, suspended like a rain drop in mid flow, […]

21 days in TAMIL NADU

November 2, 2016 by Art & Photography

I spent most of October in Tamil Nadu, India, celebrating Navaratri, festival of the Divine Mother (Durga Shakti). We were based at the foot of Arunachala holy mountain, one of the five most sacred places in India. A last minute trip, yet this turned out to be my most memorable life experience to date – Tamil Nadu is magical and the people are extraordinary. Here is a tiny taster of some of my favourite moments… click to enlarge & scroll… Namaste ∞
