Staring down the storm

Who knows what the morrow brings

Will I prevail

Or drown beneath the waves

• One of my early pieces, based upon a photograph I snapped when I was visiting Tanah Lot in Bali. There was this young lady standing about fifty metres in front of me, posing for a photograph for her boyfriend. It was a very windy day and she was struggling to hold on to her hat as she attempted to pose for the photo. I don't know why but I found that scene rather hilarious and snapped that scene.
