I've have always maintained that the world is made up of millions and billions of photographs, it is our job and challenge to find these and share them to the rest of the world.
I'm always amazed with where I find my new favourite photos, they seem to be never planned and pop out of left field.
On this occasion I went for a walk with a friend of mine around the wharf areas of Fremantle. We weren't even going to go to the Maritime Museum but wandered down to have a look at what we could shoot.
Had some great shot, had a lot of fun in the rain and wind, and came away pretty happy.
Tip: take your camera everywhere with you - you never know when you'll get a new favourite!

Project Shoot from the Hip
I came up with the idea of 'Project Shoot from the Hip' a few days ago while walking with my girlfriend into see a travel agent to book our next trip to Bali.
As a photographer, I'm ALWAYS looking around to find new things to shoot, but in the area I live, I've pretty much shot everything in the style I'm familiar with. So I simply decided to change my style.
I've been looking into shooting abstract pieces that people could hang on their walls and appreciate its simplicity and textures, but didn't know where to start.
Long story short, I snapped on my 50mm Prime lens and just went for a walk. As i was walking along, i was simply taking shots without looking - Clint Eastwood style, shooting from the hip, with surprising results.
The shot posted here, I simply put the camera into a stack of wine barrels *click* and walked off. A bit of post processing in lightroom and done! SIMPLE SIMPLE SIMPLE!!!!
