Abandoned Calder Park Thunderdome
I’m drawn to abandoned places, where the echoes of past lives linger in crumbling spaces like the long-forgotten Thunderdome stands at Calder Park. Visiting on New Year’s Day 2021, I found the area open and unmanaged, with fences falling away to the elements, and explored only where access was clearly already open. My approach to abandoned photography is simple: never break in, never damage or deface, and always leave a place exactly as I found it.
ANZAC Day 2018
This year I resumed photography study to learn new techniques and get critical feedback; a highlight was a 12‑shot photo essay I practiced on Anzac Day.
Rising at 3:45 a.m. to secure a prime spot, I captured the Dawn Service, the gunfire breakfast and parade, and a striking group of foreign veterans in varied uniforms that offered a fresh perspective on ANZAC Day.
#MelbHenge
Twice a year the setting sun lines up perfectly with the street grid of the City of Melbourne. This phenomena has become known as #melbhenge.
