NYD 2024

Every year on the 1st of January, I embark on a special journey with my 4x5 camera equipment to capture photographs that, for me, reflect hope, new beginnings and endless possibilities. This year, I cycled along the Maribyrnong trail in Melbourne's west and was fascinated by the beautiful shapes encountered. The photographs are part of my ongoing series “Bike paths of Melbourne” (2020 –).
