The right hand window in a pair of small "gothic lancets" illustrarting the Fruit of the Spirit. They were installed in 1993 opposite the entrance to the TAS Chapel, in memory of Mac Abbot, an old boy of the School who was highly regarded in the community.

To accompany the figure of Christ in my new memorial window at St Edmund's Anglican Church, Maroubra, I've used the fish as a long-standing symbol for Christ. It first appeared in Roman times, during the persecution of Christians, as a secret code denoting a follower of Jesus; the letters of the name in ancient Greek also form the word for fish. This panel is the ventilating steel sash at the top of the window.

Warrambungle National Park New South Wales, Australia The scribbly gum is an Australian eucalypt named after the ‘scribbles’ on its bark. These zigzag tracks are tunnels made by the larvae of the Scribbly Gum Moth and follow the insect’s life cycle. Eggs are laid between layers of old and new bark. The larvae burrow into the new bark and, as the old bark falls away, the trails are revealed (taken from Wikipedia) 3H0803.6305 Nikon D300 | Nikon 18-200VR 1/500s at f/11 ISO200 | Raw Featured in Nature's Macro Canvas (13 July 2009) Featured in Closeups in Nature (20 June 2010) Featured in Natural Textures (11 August 2010) Featured in The Weekend Photographer (4 February 2013) Featured in The Best of RedBubble (7 February 2013) Featured in Ab...

This window is one of a pair of windows which were commissioned for the Chapel at TAS , (The Armidale School) in Armidale, northern New South Wales. Both the client and the Chaplain requested windows which would speak to the community of boys in a contemporary manner. However my first designs were roundly rejected by the School committee as being too modern, so after much discussion about subject matter I created two windows which would illustrate in text the Fruit of the Spirit.

On a sunny day in the Minnamurra Rainforest, the sunshine created dark shadows on the edge of the cliff but at the same time gave the falling water a special glow. I set the composition to avoid more of the heavy shadows. This is Minnamurra Falls in the Budderoo National Park in the Illawarra region of Australia.

After the sun rose over Cathedral Rocks on the NSW south coast, I snuck into a small cave that I'd had my eye on. Luckily, the tide about an hour off high tide, so I was able to stay in the cave and shoot water coming into it without getting stranded! It was definitely a difficult place to shoot, since every time the water came rushing in my tripod sunk into the sand and I got splashes of water on my lens, which accounts for the slightly dreamy appearance. It was worth the hassle though!

This is the lower ventilating panel to a new window installed in 2013 in Maroubra Anglican Church. The Biblical quotation was chosen by the donor and the window is in memory of her husband Wally Williamson. Wally was a warden and staunch supporter of the Church, always fixing things and maintaining the building. It seemed appropriate then to use the images of carpentry tools to both identify the figure in the window and celebrate Wally's contribution to the community.
