NFT - A new way to own art

the future is here

now you can own
an original photograph

The collectible art market is an ever growing, ever evolving entity that is stretching beyond the realms of what we used to know. As more and more people spend more and more time online in digital and virtual spaces the desire to decorate those spaces has grown as well as the ability to do so. 

I’m not about to try and explain NFTs to everyone here. There are many resources online that do a much better job than I can and those are where you should be educating yourself about this new amazing technology before diving in. In a nutshell, it is now possible to legitimately own the “original” of a digitally created photograph.

If you already know all about NFTs and would like to view my collections and 1/1 offerings please check out my images and links within this page. I hope a piece speaks to you and you welcome it into your life.

rust never sleeps

My first (genesis) collection in the NFT space.

20 night photos of abandoned vintage and classic cars light painted using off-camera flash and various flashlights using old plastic theatre lighting gels for the various colours. All captured in camera during a long exposure. This collection are all 1 of 1 offerings, meaning the buyer will be the only owner and own the original photo solely by themselves.

This Collection now on OBJKT.com using tezos
The Battle Inside
Long exposure light painted photograph representing the battle of good and evil, darkness and light that exists inside all of us.
Dragons in the Yard
When opening this image for the first time something instantly reminded me of a reoccurring nightmare I had as a child. Thus the title.
Frank
When staring at this image looking for a sign of what to call it I focused on the dark slightly evil looking metallic smile which suddenly reminded me of the "rabbit" named Frank from the film Donnie Darko.
Awakening
Long Exposure shot at night in Old Car City, USA. Located in White, Georgia on the 411 Highway. A massive junkyard in state of arranged decay where the cars are slowly being taken back into the earth.
Voices
Long exposure photo with lighting done in camera. An old Caddy in the forest of Georgia.
Feeding Bears
An old vintage fire engine in the open California desert. Lit by the full moon with some added red for mood.
Coming Apart at the Seams
Light painted over a long exposure during full moonlight. Representing the multiple layers of cracks we all have.
Aware
A long exposure night shot of a half buried truck in a strange desert art installation known as The International Car Forest of the Last Church near Goldfield Nevada.
The Rythm of Extinction
Captured in a weird art installation called The International Car Forest Of The Last Church which is located in Goldfield Nevada
Fired Up
Abandoned vintage fire engine in the open desert of California.
Junior Prom
A little 80s pink illuminating this vintage old school bus reminded me of days long gone by.
Phantoms
Long Exposure shot at night in Old Car City, USA. The lack of chrome reflecting an ambient like made this one challenging. How to bring the details up, how to make it interesting.
Threesome
Light painted over a long exposure during a full moon in the California desert.
Thanatophobia
Thanatophobia is an intense fear of death or dying - Long Exposure shot at night in Old Car City, USA.
Better Than Real Life
Captured in a weird art installation called The International Car Forest Of The Last Church which is located in Goldfield Nevada
Dreams and Hallucinogens
Being completely free with my light and colour choices on this one I was able to create such a colourful vibrant image within the darkness. The "Two Ton Flower Pot"
Marcellus Wallace's Briefcase
The title for this one literally jumped into my face. Based on the scene from the film Pulp Fiction.
Quiet Passings
I often conceptualize that the light I'm projecting into or through these old cars is illuminating the energy of past owners and their stories. What happen inside these cars, what took place? So many potential stories held within the fabric and the air between the glass.
Empty's Theme Park
Captured in a weird art installation called The International Car Forest Of The Last Church which is located in Goldfield Nevada
Meany
This one was one of the first of the night, just a bare flashlight off to the right as the sun set behind the hills.
Glowtime
Exterior light is the full moon, interior light is a orange gelled off camera flash fired through the back window.

Small Portions
A banged up old vintage Volkswagen Beetle waits out another incoming storm in the rural Canadian prairies.
You Can't Touch The Bottom
An old vintage sedan that was once gifted a second life as told by the mag wheels finally succumbs to time and now rests in rural Saskatchewan Canada, facing a secondary highway.
Last Ember Of Burn Out
The empty remains of this old sedan, riddled with bullet holes Bonnie & Clyde style. Found in the badlands of rural Alberta.
Mini Bar Blues
This old sedan reminded me of a traveling salesman, going from town to town, motel room to motel room, until one day, he wasn't. Found in rural Alberta, Canada
Don't Tell Me The Rules
The famous old Chevrolet Coupe which is found in the ghost town of Bodie California
Stray Bullet
An old vintage work truck aged and weathered in a rural southern Alberta field in the Canadian prairies.
Arthritic Hands
An old vintage work truck aged and weathered. A popular stop for photographers along highway 3 in rural southern Alberta, Canada.
If Everything Was Fine
The mere shell of what's left of this very old vintage car, being reclaimed to the soil in rural Saskatchewan
Run Daddy Run
The dark damp derelict garage, cracks of light coming in. It made my mind wander to thoughts a little more on the dark side. Like a bad 70's horror movie.
When Lights Go Out
An old vintage Nash Rambler waiting out the rest of its days in a rural Alberta field.
My Bitter Hands
An old vintage farm truck in rural southern Alberta. Also the same truck I took photos of NHL great Theo Fleury on while doing promo photos for his country music album
All New Materials
Found in the junkyard that sits in an arrested state of decay known as Old Car City USA. This old iron behemoth is being overtaken by vines, never to escape to the open road again.
A Better Set Of Days
This old vintage Austin sedan rests peacefully an overgrown field close to the abandoned church in Niedpath Saskatchewan, Canada
Peace, Love and Understanding
All the vines remind me of the flowers hippies used to wear in their hair back in the 60s. Hence the title, which also works well with the fact that there is three vintage classic cars together here.
Old Standard Folk Songs
Two old vintage farm trucks. One with an expired Saskatchewan license plate which made it even more out of place in the rural badlands of Alberta, near Drumheller.
Waking Up The Trophy Man
An old classic Dodge rooted in an abandoned rural field surrounded by the remains of drifted snow in the rural Canadian prairies.
That Metallic Taste
A classic 60's Mustang discarded and stacked in a junkyard, wishing for the days of sun and open roads.
Mother Reads Aloud
Another old classic Chevy sedan found in the forest junkyard of Old Car City USA in Georgia.
A Dog's Discipline
This old Ford pick-up truck found in the junkyard that sits in an arrested state of decay known as Old Car City USA.
Momma Left In June
I've driven by this old classic sedan a few times and that door has been open every time. Not even the wind can close it.
