Callanish no.1 Photograph

Australian born, I have lived and worked on 5 continents over the past 30 years and have been involved in the creative media fields for more than 25 years. I have been interested in photography since a boy and am most attracted to alternative process photography and the traditional and vintage printing formats. Over the years I have shot with all types of cameras but prefer large format and often use an 8x10 camera for producing large size negatives required for many of the vintage printing processes such as platinum or albumen printing. During the late 80's thru the mid 90's I was part of the video/performance art group Hyperdelic Video. Hyperdelic was based in Tokyo and then San Francisco. During that time, Hyperdelic produced and directed both live-video VJ performances and music videos for many of the musicians and DJs that were part of the early electronic dance music movement of the 90s. I also worked closely with many in the alternative/underground community in the United States, including Timothy Leary during this time, producing videos and real-time VJ'ing during Tim's lectures and public appearances.
