Circles and Cycles: Last night I photographed a party at Aurora Place, my favourite Sydney commercial building. I hadn’t been inside since 2003 when I went for a job interview with Challenger Financial Services. They had an impressive office on the top floor with an amazing view of the harbour and botanic gardens. They offered me the gig - ‘Web Design Specialist’ (or some similar corporate title). It was one of those ‘sliding doors’ moments: choose a stable job in finance or embrace the life of a freelance photographer. Needless to say I opted for the later. Last night, back in Aurora Place after 20 years, had me reflecting on that pivotal decision and feeling grateful for everything that’s happened since. I would 100% make the same decision again today.
