Long Term Projects

A great deal of my photography is place based and watching those places change over years and decades. I’ve lived in Melbourne since the late 1990s and seeing how much things have changed is fascinating. Looking at the ABS website they say that the population has changed from 3.4 million in 2000 to 5.3 million in 2024. Seeing how this is changing the city in many different ways. The impact of this change can be seen on every aspect of the city. We’re currently suffering from a housing shortage and watching the various governments tackle this is quite interesting. Also watching the changes in regional cities like Ballarat, Bendigo and Geelong is quite interesting as many people move to other places for a theoretical improvement of lifestyle.
