  4. This just arrived in the mail. Resisting Police in Queer Spaces was just published by the University of Alberta Press. Not only am I super interested in reading this important work by Alexa DeGagné - this is my first book cover! I photographed this image during the Edmonton Stonewall 50th Anniversary Rally and March in 2019.

  6. A capoeira demonstration stopped the crowd on a side street at the Boundary Street Festival and a ring formed instinctively. I watched two full sequences before touching the shutter — capoeira at speed requires pre-visualisation rather than reaction; the inversions happen faster than expected. By the third sequence I could frame the space and wait for the body to arrive. The ring of spectators is what makes it an image rather than an acrobatics photograph.

  8. Boundary Street Festival, West End, Brisbane, 2014. The samba schools come through in costume and the photographic problem immediately reverses — instead of looking for something worth making, you are trying to decide what to leave out. Three dancers, three entirely different expressions of the same thing. The energy required nothing from me except a fast shutter and the sense to get close.
