The Most Beautiful Image I have Ever Seen. Digital photograph, 2007
The first piece of photographic machine-art by me that I considered "worthy", and even then I must give credit to where it is due, which is nowhere: this was a freakishly lucky shot of a 10x10cm photographic printing plate I came across in the university typography workshop (it is the most wonderful room in the whole of university, tiny room with workbenches and odd machines and case after case of old metal type; the whole place has such a wonderful and inspiring feel to it). Right after I had taken the photo I looked at the result on my camera's digital screen and my heart stopped. It was, and still is, the most beautiful image I had ever seen, the ideal of my work immortalised there in front of my eyes.
