Creating photogaphic artworks
I'm Robert and this is my passion and retirement activity
About me
At the end of 2024 I retired to:
travel within remote Australia
return to an earlier passion, photography
Fortunately these dovetail nicely
I aim to show the beauty and complexity of life in arid Australia
This artwork, "A great Place Mum" was taken at Imperial Lake (Broken Hill) in 2024. It is triptych piece, showing the grand vista (Macro), the middle view (Meso) and the fine (Micro) view, all three adding up to the vibrancy of arid Australia.
The MMM model is a guiding principle for my work. I am showing my background in that the MMM model comes from my research background and refers to the wellbeing of an individual, now the wellbeing of the land

When I travel the cameras are not always out.
