10 Murray Street Offices bathed in Spring Glow

 
 

First light bathes the concrete cantilever of 10 Murray Street Offices in warm golden spring glow. I loved the way that the light played on this building throughout the day and seasons. For me a lot of what inspires my photography is capturing the geometric and sculptural qualities of a building. 10 Murray Street was a wonderful building to get to know and document over many years and along the journey I became friends with its Architect, Dirk Bolt who was such an inspiration with his commentary on my photographs and being able to ask him questions pertaining to the design of 10 Murray as well as his other buildings in Hobart. Through him I found out his brother, Frank, was a photographer and had a love of documenting the built environment of Tasmania. I enjoy his photographic books I've collected over the years and they serve as an inspiration and reminder of the importance of photography in the documenting and preserving the built environment. The joy perhaps of photography isn't just making photographs, but its the people and history of a place you learn along the way that makes the entire process so rewarding and gives me a reason to wake up early and stay out late. You can view the 10 Murray Street gallery from my many years of documenting on my website here, they are just some of the edited photographs from my collection. I have a selection of limited edition prints available too, all printed using archival papers and pigment inks, signed and numbered available here
