“Taking into account the knowledge of time, evolution, species and the
universe our existence seems monotonous, rendering it a pointless
excursion. But taking into account such phenomena’s as human emotion
and human experience which exist in engagements within this life,
somehow makes this place seem somewhat meaningful, but easily taken for
granted.” I have a love affair with documental photography. Photos that
record and capture life and times, culture and consequence in places
around the world. It allows us to look back and reflect on times gone
by. The work of Danny Lyons and Robert Capa excite me and inspire me to
document the world. I have traveled to places such as Greece, France,
Japan, Singapore and Indonesia to capture and record original glimpses
of reality that evoke beauty in my eyes. The photos I have submitted
are film prints taken from an island named Lombok in Indonesia. They
are apart of a small series i produced for my photographic studies in
Australia depicting people i came across or met during my stay. They
depict workers in the 'Mataram markets' who sit for hours at a time
amongst the vibrant swell of barter and prices, the tattooed adolescent
criminals of 'Sengiggi' relaxing by their motorbike workshop, joyous
innocent children amongst the street poverty and limber street mutts
and the eyes i'll never forget owned by the girl i fell in love with
during my stay. The photos depict my trip, sentimental perspectives
that hold information concerning the environment and day to day living
of the people in the area. All in all i will continue this process
throughout my life regardless but having the opportunity to work and be
mentored by a professional photographer on assignment would obviously
be an amazing opportunity to learn capture.
