I found the church to be pretty in a gothic-y old-ish sense of why :))

CAPITAL TERRITORY

«In my core I am a landscape painter. When I started making images I was painting outside with my easel in the middle of the night, trying to capture the night in oil-painting. I explore(d) my urban environment by foot or by bike, carefully mapping my battleground. From day one it was all about capturing places that had an atmospherical charge to it. Through a shit-storm of soul-searching and surrealist detours in painting, photography has brought me back to the essence of my love for image making: portraying fragments of (urban) reality, attempting to construct images strong enough to carry the mood I wish to create. I can’t restrict myself to one particular concept, although the vowels and consonants of the landscape’s alphabet dictate my phrases. Moving from Belgium to Australia has made me into a photographer (painter) in exile. As a permanent tourist, an alien, I capture things on this side of the world. I seek refuge in my images, trying to create a sense of belonging for myself. These days my preferred weapon of choice is my trusty Mamiya 7II. The slowness of film is soothing. Future ideas and projects? I would like to get a little book or magazine published featuring some of my pictures. Whenever I got the funds together I will work towards another exhibition, but there is no rush. Future ideas would be to do exactly what I am doing now but better. I hope to stay the exiled, permanent, tourist I am, and build up an archive of holiday-pictures.»

Me on the boat about to dive into the Great Barrier Reef!  Coolest day ever! I ended up following a Bat fish for like 5 minutes and almost got lost haha Go ADD in the ocean! lol  I’m so upset though, my friend saw sharks because he was experienced so he got to go out farther.  It was my first time and I kept floating to the surface and the instructor had to literally hold my hand the entire time in order to keep me under water hahaha
