Doing a standard Wednesday morning browse through one of my favorite Sydney photographers, Alex Jennings, portfolio I was just as surprised as I was delighted to stumble across these montages featuring yours truly...

Not sure that I am meant to admit I am "delighted" by coming across works starring me, myself & I but hey as I keep reading lately, blogs are all about unashamed ego stroking right? Wrong.

Alex is probably one of the most passionate, knowledgeable photographers I have encountered. Rarely do I admire someone's work with such genuity, a true artist in every sense of the word.

art·ist/ˈärtist/Noun
One who is able by virtue of imagination and talent or skill to create works of aesthetic value

Whenever I'm around him I catch photography fever - it's highly contagious I tell you - being able to "rabbit on" (as he likes to say) about his ideas and inspirations for many, many minutes without stopping. I always walk away craving film and the desire to create a distinct, organic vision of my own.

Do yourself a favour; brew a pot of tea, settle in, keep that online ADD we all have under control, and allow yourself to have a long browse through his portfolio. I'll refund you your time if you're not inspired.

Not realising your getting on a roll with a colour pallete until reviewing your Tumblr at the end of a sesh = great feeling. Almost as great as Giseles bod (boobs), but not quite.

My friend can testify to the fact that I went into a man coma as I stood jaw ajar in front of the larger than life Indigofera posters currently hanging in the windows of Paddingtons That Store.

I still don't really know what else can be said. But yeah. I'd be happy if the Father of my children resembled that long haired male creature in any way shape or form. Meow. 

Massive love for Calle too. Absolute master at capturing essence.

come together

I need to start collaging digitally - PVA glue is limiting my visions.
These are messy enough for me to feel comfortable and together enough for the individual images not to get lost. Nice

cut paste

If collaging was a job I would definately apply. Theres nothing that I love more than finding, collecting, grouping, cutting, arranging, pasting pictures together.

As an after thought...I'm sure it is a job. Art director, editor, layout graphic something-a-rather. Note to self: find out specific role and requirements.
