nudes,
portraits & other pictures
1994 - 1999

Updated June 2009

Mainly nude black and white photographs, 1981 - 1993. I prefer the term naked portrait to nude, but for web clarity I retain the word nude. I also prefer the word women to models for the women who collaborate with me in these projects

These images are from the time I moved to Quinninup in the Western Australian Main Karri Belt. This juncture also marks my leaving the studio environment and returning to photography in the natural, when I can find it, environment. During the period 1994-1999 my work was exclusively the documentation of the defense and destruction of the karri forest, hence the total gap in personal work between 1999 and 2005 and now to 2009

Some of these images show pubic hair. However, there is no detail shown on this website, this is a concious decision

Gardner 08 State Forest, January 1999

The tree really was that big. The timber turned out to be useless and still lies on the forest floor.

Regarding the logging of Gardner 08 State Forest, Peter Beatty, CALM Planning Officer for this block stated "This [Gardner 08] was the most ancient and pristine area [of karri forest] we had. We decided to log it because the timber industry was locked out of Jane and Giblett Forests by protests."

The measured dimensions are; widest diameter 4.07 metre, circumference around butresses 14.03 metres
