My goal was to showcase the intricate relationship between the city's built environment and the bustling life that unfolds within it.

How Kids Survived the Last Fifty Years

How Kids Survived the Last Five Years (1959-2009)

This is how it was before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives for our own good. When we were kids there were no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets. As infants & children, we would ride in cars...

The Austin A70 Hampshire Utility

This is the very rare Austin A70 Hampshire Ute (or PickUp), albeit a little worse for wear and completely beyond restoration, is located on my father-in-law's farm on Kangaroo Island.
