When I took on Murray, I wasn’t really looking for another photographer.  But those of you who already know Murray will know what a persuasive and charismatic bugger he is, so after chatting to him for half an hour or so, I agreed to meet him and have a look at his work.  His architectural work was subtle yet impactful, and when he introduced people into his scenes, they weren’t just blurred graphic devices but rather added playfulness, or dare I say ‘Life’ into the scene.

But it wasn’t until I viewed his film SALT, that I decided my roster couldn’t live without him.  The film and the work had a spiritual element I had never really understood before then.  It sounds rather dramatic to be speaking this way, doesn’t it?  When the film comes out (very soon at the Adelaide Film Festival – and we will be running exclusive, really intimate screenings), I highly recommend that you immerse yourself in the landscape.  It’s full of surprises.

To all my Melbourne friends, I hope to see you all at Arc One next Tuesday.  Murray will be there too.
