Elementary Portal, NSW. Australia.
Elementary Portal, NSW. Australia. Elementary Portal was created when I had taken on a major back injury mid 2015. I was unable to walk properly, unable to sit for more than 10 minutes at a time and was on a travelling time of less than 30 minutes and a 5 kg lifting limit. Along with an extreme level of pain. This been said, my normal photographic activities and journeys came to a sudden halt. This lead to an extreme onset of depression, anxiety and a loss of all social time, I spent nearly the entire 6 weeks after the accident either laying flat on my back or in and out of specialist, Dr and chiropractic appointments. MRI's, X-Rays and the likes of MD's telling me I would have to spend the rest of my life on pain medication. Once I could move a little 6 months after the accident. I was searching for new locations less than 5 mins from my home I could get to. This lead me to play equipment in the local park. At the time, this became my gateway back to my creative side. Hence the naming of the image Elementary Portal. Despite the likes of the workers compensation, insurance company and Dr's advice. I fought for my right to have chiropractic treatment over pain medication. Simply because my belief of pain medication is that it is the simple gateway medication that destroys all of your organs making way for the pharmaceutical industry to make a life time of wealth off you later in life. We all know why? The damage the pain medication leaves behind requires the use of these other drugs they have created which also kill you. It's all about jumping on the multi billion dollar wheel of fortune for the medical industry. Well not for me. I told my Doctor that western medicine is the largest "Bleep, Bleep. Bleep of Rubbish. I will take on the natural remedy of chiropractic. 10 months on and I am nearly back on top of life. My chiropractors saved my life and with a quality of life. My kidneys and liver are still in great condition. Where as if I had taken on the pain killers I would still be on them with zero quality of life. An image that gives you and Elementary Portal to excitement and joy the freedom of riding a slide. Go ride a slide today and feel like a child again, be born again. This is what this image did for me, It created and an Elementary Portal back to the great side of life. Product Number _V9A0056

We were very lucky to experience the Lunar Phenomena. of a Moonbow or Halo which ever you prefer wile shooting this sweet hut. The Halo is said to be the warning of bad weather to come, The tale continues with, the number of days till that moment can be predicted by the amount of stars inside of the halo. This occurs when the light from the moon is refracted by ice crystals in the higher atmosphere causing the halo effect you see around the moon. Product Number _KSP3952

Lift Off into the air in a hot air balloon over the Hunter Valley in NSW Australia, at sunrise to watch the beautiful landscape unveiled from an aerial perspective. I captured the image at an event run in the Hunter Valley of May 2015. Where I made a presentation to the LPN, Landscape photographers network. Alongside the likes of Ken Duncan, Jaime Dormer, Glenn Mckinnen, Danny Irvine, Neil Burton, Adriano Carrideo, Ian Berry, and Craig Lambert. The morning was frosty, foggy and amazing at sunrise. All of these conditions when mixed together always provide an abundance of opportunity as a photographer. I particularly love how the balloons appear to be bowing just before the big performance of lift off! The golden morning light lit up the mountain and balloons while lifting the previously near white out fog only 10 mins before. Giving the image a great mix of warm and cool tones, stark vines and luscious light, all at the same time. This image is available as a 50 inch print only. Product Number _V9A4028
