Believe me when I say I’m going to spare this photo a day project from photos of ‘roses’. #1 I’m searching for a different kind of image this time round and… #2 They are almost finished for the year… ; ) I just couldn’t resist these blonde brick beauties. Brunswick, VIC.

THE SEARCH / 2023

Happy New Year! Melbourne.

Somewhere along the way, when I was editing Penguin Bloom in 2019, I couldn't find the energy to do ' The Search' anymore.

The Search, a personal challenge of making a photo and publishing it here, was a practice I held dear.

The Search fed a hunger to create and kept my eye alert. It helped me tune that sense of what draws my eye to something. Perhaps most importantly, because I had to take the photo on the day and publish something regardless of quality, it helped breed a healthy attitude of 'not letting perfect get in the way of good'. Something all artists struggle with.

A few years later, during the 'Lost Flowers' edit, even though I took my camera with me everywhere, I found it was weeks, maybe months, between photos. This felt weird to me. Wrong even. But towards the end of a long film project, I'm drained physically, mentally and emotionally. There is no room for anything else.

I get so much joy from photography, and I need to find that joy again. So the daily practice is back.

Whatever I may find regarding images, I hope it helps me rediscover my love for photography, of observing and searching.
