Field Notes – Newstead Walk, 17 Aug 2025

A Sunday photo walk through Newstead, part of an ongoing practice of urban photography where each outing brings new discoveries in familiar surroundings. Scenes found along the way:

Mischief with signage turns No Parking into Parking Anytime.
Magic dusk sparkles scatter across the wall from a sequin dress in the window of ONS Boutique.
An abandoned sofa sits heavy on the sidewalk, evidence of lives shifted on.
A cap from ‘Life Without Barriers’, a national not-for-profit dedicated to social justice and reconciliation. Learn more.
Making self-portraits through shop windows, reflections fold strangers and self into one frame.
Mirrors flank a garage door, splitting the light into sharp ridges.
A cactus shows new growth, stubborn against concrete edges.
And a letter, addressed to a dear darling diva, waits folded in the street.

Selected prints from my Newstead walks are available for purchase.

I explore and document urban and natural environments, often focusing on reflections, shadows, and patterns. My camera walks allow me to capture found objects and scenes that tell stories through everyday details. In my journal, I share these explorations and offer a glimpse into my process.
