Subject: Hoby dragon
Location: Crow's Nest National Park, Australia

Artist Notes We had crossed a dry gully while walking in Crow's Nest NP and this little lizard ran across our path. It ran into the dry grass and tried to become a stick – This is what Hoby Dragons do. I followed and while not really expecting it to stay put long enough to point a lens at it, I went through the motions anyway. Close-up attachment, camera settings and all that, then I started shooting. I inched closer trying not to make any sudden moves as I removed some badly placed blades of grass. In the end I took 31 digital images and 2 frames of film before my knees complained too much. After a morning of mainly photographing Angophora bark I was pleased to find something from the animal kingdom to focus on. I chose this as the best shot, little hoby peering out of its world on the dry forest floor and into my room. Not everyone would want the hoby's lifestyle but sometimes I put myself in its place for a while.
