Review: Many thanks to Elsie for looking after our four cats while we were away. Elsie was a real delight! She was incredibly kind, easy to communicate with, and was a dream housesitter. Four cats can be a lot to look after, but Elsie seemed genuinely excited to look after our crew and really enjoyed spending time with them. She kept us up to date, when necessary, and sent lots of photos of our fur babies. She took excellent care of our home as well, and it was sparkling clean when we arrived home. I have no hesitation in recommending Elsie as a housesitter and hope that we might get the opportunity to have her look after our fur babies in the future.
Review
Elsie and Kerry arrived a day early to make sure they are prepared for their stay. Everything went well. Elsie and Kerry were reliable and managed to take care of a large breed dog without any trouble. We found our house and dog in great shape when we returned. As this was our first pet sitting experience we are looking forward to many more possibilities to leave our house in trusted hands. An extra kudos for Elsie sending great text updates and photos every 2nd day!
Analogue Technical Prowess
Kerry Phillips's artist biography reveals a profound exploration of emotion, connecting simple, natural subject matter to our human experience of impressionism. His fine art photography captures moments that are 'made in camera' using a variety of vintage lenses, particularly his favorites from the 1950s and 60s, including Leica, Hasselblad, and Nikkor. Over his lengthy film career, Phillips’s photography techniques have evolved immensely, as he has collaborated with award-winning directors of photography, learning to blend time, movement, and composition at the right intuitive moment. His exploration is less about a specific place and more about creating timeless, captivating visual poetry. Viewers are drawn to his deliberate, unstructured rhythm, glowing natural light, and his clear disdain for the overuse of AI computer alteration. This technical mastery, combined with a loose and lyrical allure, allows us to experience the sublime essence of photographic impressionism.
