PHOTOS SPEAK A THOUSAND WORDS

There is something spectacular about the decayed and the destroyed. There is an honesty behind everything that is left behind to grow old with its surroundings. My grandfather worked on Cockatoo Island for most of his life and as a child he would take me past the island on the ferry and tell me stories. I don't remember most of them but somewhere in my photographs they resonate. A photograph will speak to me just like a piece of music and transport me to a new world, whether it be the place in the picture or somewhere unrelated.........every photo speaks a thousand words.
