Is it true that Australians are to blame for “Uggs”?

Is it’s true and proud of them we are.

In your humble opinion, what is the worst movie of all time?

I haven’t kept a list of movies I hate. I tend to see the good in all
things. However, I felt physically nauseous while watching Cloverfield on
the big screen and really really needed to leave the cinema. Those
handycam shots made me feel like I was on a two hour roller coaster.
Took a day to recover from the experience.

I was immediately drawn to the humour in your work, especially in your “snaps”. Do people ever laugh out loud when they encounter your work in a gallery setting?

That would be a great reaction if people laughed out loud. The people that
look at my work often have a bewildered expression on their face. I don’t
think they take the time to really LOOK. I feel the need to explain the
photograph to them. I can not decided if my humour is just personal or
universal.
