It's a privilege to once again serve as a judge for this year's Australian Photographic Prize.

Congratulations to everyone who has entered. Putting your work forward for review takes courage and a willingness to challenge yourself. Every image submitted represents not only a finished photograph, but also the time, thought, persistence, and creative curiosity behind it.

Entering is just one step along a long and continuous creative path, and an opportunity to learn, grow, reflect, and continue refining your craft.

There is no single way of seeing the world, and I look forward to experiencing the breadth of creativity, skill, and personal expression that makes the judging process such a rewarding one.

Best wishes to all entrants!

Doing a happy dance!

I've now completed the upgrade of my UV exposure unit, and so pleased my re-wiring skills with the old enlarger timer haven't caused any short circuits.

Now that the winter sun is creeping in, I can't wait to start testing with it.

Thanks again to Men's Shed Tauranga for the modifications to the LED plate drawer, and InkjetMall for the LED exposure plate.

Afterlight ...

That fleeting moment when the world slows, the warmth and glow of the last light as it rests momentarily on the horizon.

Magical, and just a little bit breathtaking.

The second stop on today’s day off was stepping into the storybook world of Hobbiton Movie Set - rolling green hills, gardens alive with bees and butterflies, rustic fences, and whimsical architecture. A truly beautiful and magical place.

There's no better way to spend a day off than with sunshine, fresh air, good company, and beautiful scenery.

First stop: Ōmanawa Falls.
662 stairs, the equivalent of 55 flights. My legs may question the decision tomorrow, but it was worth every step!

BHS (behind the scenes) Process

There’s a quiet kind of magic in the waiting...

Today I’m making rust particles and rust water - steel surrendering to air, liquid, and time, transforming slowly into something beautifully imperfect.

Alchemy for the cyanotype project.
Time is all part of the process, and now I wait … and let chemistry do its dance.

Drawn from the archives and now finding its place in this new body of work. With rain outside and soft light inside, it feels like the perfect time to let 'Veil of Golden Light' surface.

Do you revisit old files, or prefer to keep moving forward?

While I wait for the arrival of supplies for the next stage of my cyanotype project, I’ve finally found the space to revisit image files from several years ago - five, to be exact 😬!

'Interlaced' is the first image in a new intentional camera movement landscape series, exploring the slowly unfolding landscape and the quiet exchange between breath, land, light, and time.

Sometimes progress arrives not by pushing forward, but by looking back, seeing old work with fresh eyes, and allowing it to speak differently.

Grateful for the time and space to let this work surface.

Creative play continued last weekend at a cyanotype printing workshop with the wonderful - and it was exactly the nudge I needed to get my own project moving again.

With a little more space to focus on my practice (currently only juggling one job), the timing couldn’t have been better. The weekend was full of experimentation, laughter, and learning - so much fun!

The sun kept us guessing - UV light is everything with cyanotypes - but produce we did. I met some truly inspiring artists and loved being surrounded by so much talent and creative energy.

Here’s a small peek into some of the weekend’s making. A huge thank you to the for hosting, and to Lynn for such a generous and energising experience. The weekend culminated in everyone hanging a piece in Artspost Gallery, alongside Lynn’s 'Drawing with Light' exhibition - a lovely way to bring it all together.

Grateful for creative community and time to play!!
