Reflection of the photographer and the Qantas signboard on an airport glass wall, with a plane on the tarmac outside visible through the glass, and the strap of a backpack on the foreground.

Buzzing airport lights;
seeking a different high,
solo traveller.

Photogenic

close up photo of a pink rose bud

Typical subject:
shies away from camera—
portrait of a rose.

Trees of life

Photo of the Western Australia landscape as seen from the window of a plane. Green forests appear as patches in the desert.

Tiny blobs of life
coloured green, outside the lines,
trees keep us nourished.

Build

Photo of multiple high-storey buildings as seen from the top floor of another high-storey building.

We make those buildings
constellation defying,
masking our night skies.

Rolled

Close up photo of a yellow rose bud, with tightly wrapped petals.

Roll of fresh bank notes—
happiness for most people;
tightly bound rose bud.
