Hi everyone, welcome to this space where I present my photography and some of my writings. I’m a photographer and curious mind working at the intersection of people and the changing world they inhabit. My primary photographic motivations tend to be trees, wildlife and the natural world. I also love to travel and soak up the ambience and light in little and big places.

My last exhibition of recent work focussed on eucalyptus and hence the name "Well covered". The exhibition provided an intimate look at “EU KALYPTOS”, Greek for well covered and referring to the caps which protect the developing flowers of gum trees. These little icons come in an astonishing array of shapes, colours and sizes. This personal exploration of eucalyptus also pays homage to the bark of the eucalyptus tree, an ever-changing palette, pattern and texture showcased in an extraordinary series of grand photographic canvases.

The exhibition included studies of eucalyptus trunks printed on to 1m wide canvases, large fine art prints of majestic trees and A3 fine art prints of the wondrous minutiae of eucalypts .

Archival, limited edition (5) prints of each work are for sale, some, like the one below, are now almost sold out.

My most recent blog or the blog index is a good launching pad to venture into my explorations, I can't believe it was 2013 when I started my blog, and I'm still going after ten years! Of course, as you would expect over that time, things have waxed and waned.

With more than 100 blogs to date it is hard to choose my favourites, but these ones come to mind

From our second European motorcycle tour, reflective in Germany, and from Matera in Italy, and enchanting Andalucia Spain. From our 2019 return, in the Cevennes, andalso in France, a photo essay, this time from Narbonne, and a last look back over Spain.

Moving now on to trees, blogs I return to sometimes include "The Kissing Tree", because I am a romantic at heart, an astonishing River Redgum in the southern Flinders Ranges, and my homage to the Jacaranda.

And finally, one on motorcycles from the Isle of Man.

Please also take look around my on-line gallery of fine quality, limited edition prints, and delve into my blog where you can read the stories behind some of these pictures. Prints can be purchased directly and securely in the portfolio galleries. More details about the prints themselves can be found here. Also check out The Social Image gallery for an exploration of peoples reactions to some images.

Anyway if you’d like to ask me about ordering prints etc or to talk about life, wildlife, the universe, photography, motorcycling, or what might be a good bottle of South Australian wine to try, send me a message via the Contact Murray Page, I would love to talk to you. Be a little patient though, I still have one foot firmly in the analogue world and don’t necessarily read email everyday!

Thanks for visiting, Murray
