Pinboard. Zig Zag Courant.

One of the highlights of June 2017 was taking part in ZigZagCity's collaborative workshop with the Flaneur Magazine team – one of my favourite magazines – to produce ZigZagCourant. Over a weekend a team of inspiring international creatives from across Europe came together to make, print and distribute a newspaper in Rotterdam's south.

Pinboard. Four Hundred And Counting.

The 400th Lurker was spied in London's Kew Gardens in 2012. Stay tuned for more London followed by Liverpool, Blackpool and Manchester in coming weeks.

Pinboard. Lurker's German Covers.

I'm posting a new Lurker cover each day with the current series being Hamburg. Stay tuned for Kassel, Haarlem and Amsterdam over the next few weeks.

Pinboard. Blink Bounces Back.

Blink returns today following a little refresh. Stay tuned for more spontaneous drawings, in fact one new one every day, with short tales to set the scene.

Pinboard. Parting Shots.

Anna Brown's book Parting Shots: The Last Nights of the Arthouse in Mugshots is out now. The portraits in this book are not of the idolised rock stars that dedicated followers throng to see, but the audience themselves. It's a warm study of hardcore rock fans, and it was a pleasure to write the foreword.

Pinboard. Lurker In Helsinki.

The next run of Lurker covers are ready to go. We're back to Finland for the next batch with ten or so from Helsinki, moving onto Turku and then Mariehamn. Stay tuned.

Pinboard. Photo Grab.

The first Photo Grab will take place on 31 August 2014 between 15.00 and 18.00 at Photographic Centre Peri in Turku, Finland. It'll be your opportunity to take as many photos as you like from the Wunderwall. Free. Vapaa. Gratis. Come along and join the fun.

Pinboard. Turun Sanomat.

So pleased to see such a nice article in the Turun Sanomat about current Wunderwall That's Just a Nun with a Bag of Oranges. Stay tuned for news about the Photo Grab coming at the end of August.

Pinboard. Wunderwall Five.

That's Just a Nun With A Bag of Oranges is my fifth Wunderwall. Comprising 1,296 images across 16 metres of wall space, there's sure to be something for everyone. That's Just a Nun... opens at Photographic Centre Peri in Turku on Thursday August 7, 2014, so if you're in town around 6pm stop by for a drink and a look. Stay tuned for more information including the closing Photo Grab on 31 August.

Pinboard. Out Now - Lurker.

Lurker's first outing was in an exhibition as part of the Vivid Photography Festival in Canberra in 2008. Since then I've continued to shoot potential covers wherever I have found myself. From today Lurker's archive has its own home, where you'll find a new cover, perhaps even two, each day. The archive is chronological starting in 2003. I'm up to Estonia, 2012 with some 250 covers to date.

Pinboard. Blink Drawings.

Three years ago I began making very quick sketches of the people I saw as I went about my daily travels. The project has blossomed into Blink, on ongoing series of drawings coupled with fictional tales of the characters who caught my attention momentarily. With well over six hundred drawings, it's high time to give Blink it's own home on Tumblr. Why not take a look?

Pinboard. Guest Who 2.

A good part of my time in the Satelliet Groep studio in Den Haag recently was spent researching a new project called Parliament, the title taken from the collective noun for a group of owls. Whilst there is a slightly humorous slant involved, the work aims to question the role of surveillance, privacy, ego and photography in an installation utilising audience performance and webcasts. To kick things off I took part in Guest Who #2 a month or so ago giving a very quick ten minute intro into the ideas, references and likely outcome of the project. The image above is the poster for We Live In Public, an intriguing documentary that has provided a source of inspiration for Parliament. Recommended viewing. Thanks to everyone who responded to the questions I gave out, I was quite interested to note a general indifference to the idea of privacy. If you have a few moments to spare, I'd be interesting to hear your thoughts:

How do you feel about surveillance? Privacy?

What books or films can you recommend on the theme?

Do you think our democratically elected governments work? How could they be improved?

Any other thoughts or comments?

Pinboard. Westduinen.

I'll take any chance to go walking, particularly somewhere I've never been before. Wednesday's weather was perfect to visit Westduinen in Den Haag with DCR's Jacqueline (thanks for the intriguing anecdotes), Heath Bunting and Juanita. The plan was to experience nature, but with the Netherlands being significantly reclaimed from the sea, just how much was natural? It seems the dunes are not, complete with old bunkers from wars past. Out to sea you could see oil rigs, and at either end of the beach industrialisation in the form of leisure at one end and steaming smoke stacks at the other. Thanks to Heath's knowledge, we sampled various edible weeds and flowers, though I have to say my baked prawns from the fish shop at the end of the walk was the taste sensation.

Pinboard. DCR Den Haag.

From today I'm in Den Haag staying at the DCR Guest Studios working 24/7 on art. Aside from the ongoing tedious task of re-keywording — don't ask — 250,000 plus photographs, I'm planning to develop a couple of new installations, produce two new blogs for existing work and spend the rest of the time taking in what this inspiring city has to offer. Stay posted for a new photo each day along with other posts detailing my adventures.

Pinboard. Interested Party.

As often happens to me, a man called out as I walked around Amsterdam Zuid. "Meneer! Meneer!" said the Moroccan man. My initial reaction was to keep walking, I knew what was to come — questions. The man had seen me photograph a port-a-loo, those mobile toilets available in a range of colours across the spectrum that have become a common sight in many parts of the world. He was curious, perplexed even. Perhaps I bring on this attention myself, I photograph odd things from plastic bags to undies and much more besides. The man was genuinely interested and we ended up chatting for some time despite my limited Dutch. He spoke of his daughter's interest in photography, and how eager she was to study it. But he wanted her to do business management so she could make a lot of money, perhaps more than he could in his coffee-shop. We bid farewell, and I left with a warm experience bought into being by an orange bio box.

Pinboard. Bystander.

For several years I've been collecting snippets of witnessed occurrences which, for whatever reason, I've been unable to photograph. You'll find them all on Bystander, a column on my website Turnstile. Hit Goggle to read more from the ever-growing Bystander database.

Pinboard. Textures Of Place.

The Textures of Place: Laws, Geographies, Poetics symposium takes place in Sydney at UTS on December 16. This fascinating program coordinated by Dr Olivia Barr is sure to be an informative and enlightening discussion. I'm chuffed that my image Depending on the Day was used, with its direct reference to Chippendale's changing face. The drawing was created while on residency in 2009 at Queen Street Studios and traced my every step in the Chippendale boundary area.

Pinboard. Natural Characters at Create 2308.

Natural Characters is on show this week as part of the Create 2308 festival at the University of Newcastle. If you can't see them in person, check them out online at Turnstile or at Four Feet.

Pinboard. B3 Back In The Ring.

It's been almost ten years since B3's first outing, so it's nice to see them on show on campus at the University of Newcastle. If you're nearby pop in and see them, if you're not you can see them on Turnstile. Martyn Jolly's B3 essay is insightful and well worth reading.

Pinboard. New Wunderwall.

De giraffe reisde in een rugzak/The giraffe travelled in a backpack opens this Thursday at SBK Dordrecht in the Netherlands. Drop by and see my latest Wunderwall with a distinctively Dutch flavour. Opens 8pm, 31 January 2013.
