Hawkesbury Sunrise

The sun rose near Windsor, just north of Sydney. Shot on film with a 16mm Angenieux 9.5mm – 95mm zoom. As the sun climbed and the light got more intense I had to stop right down to F22. This made tiny faults on the surface of the lens visible. It caused the unruly light spots around the main shafts. It's pre-digital, before perfection deleted glorious mistakes. Music made the wrong right.

    Australia's Nullarbor is the plain 'without a tree' – or just one of them. The cloudscape above is more interesting than the landscape below. And those clouds have a say over heat and cold and rain. They make a tree grow and make our moods. They are the actors in the drama of the sky.

  • Requiem for a Loser

    We hear a starter gun and the galloping of horses. A race is being run. Money will bet. The winner gets all. But so aloof, the sun keeps rising over outback Australia.
    Finally the last horse trots along. No applause, yet a glorious burst of light - for the loser.
