The Facilities

The Typologist

Soon after starting this series I showed them to a gallerist.

Partly in hope that he would be interested enough in the project that he would be open to the potential of showing them.

Needless to say, that didn't happen.

But what he did say was that there was something in the typology of the objects.

Needless to say, that had little relation to my concept, but it did make me consider that particular aspect in later shoots.

Okay, so maybe I didn't consider it that much.

Though once I even went all rock'n'roll on yo arse.

And decided it was rubbish so went back for a reshoot.

And sanity prevailed (though not to the Becher extreme).

As did more or less level horizons.

The Douglas

The Thought

When thoughts get too heavy ...

They fall over.

This is from the TVC I worked on a few weeks back. It was for an American forestry company, so I doubt whether we'll see the ad in NZ.

The concept was about growing ideas (I think - didn't really pay much attention cos I didn't have to).

This is what a film set in the middle of a douglas fir forest looks like - lots of people in fluoro vests and hard hats.

The Golden

I'm off to Nelson today (to be more precise I'm actually off to Christchurch to pick up a car so I can drive to Nelson today) to help an overseas photographer (this guy in fact) fill in a few days. So here are some shots I took last time I was in the city (of Nelson) - on a day trip when I was working for that nasty corporate a few years ago (the one nice thing they did for me, he says somewhat bitterly).


Two vernacular sites and one iconic.
