MICHAEL HAVIR - Music, Sound, Performance. BORN IN A TAXI. THE MELBOURNE SKA ORCHESTRA. I have been taking photographs of everyday objects for many years now. I’m particularly interested how looking at a detail or from an unusual angle can make something ordinary appear extraordinary, capturing a fleeting moment and transforming it into something special. I've been experimenting with mirror imaging to create abstract landscapes and geometric patterns.
