"The story behind my latest photo series Fourth begins in 1997. It was the year that I started to have a lot of international shows of my photography and films. I was told that someone from the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games Committee had telephoned and asked about the possibility of me, being available as the ‘official photographer' for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. I expressed interest but after a while I didn't hear back from them. This didn't disappoint me; it only got my imagination going. I fantasised that if I really were to be the ‘official photographer' for the Sydney 2000 Olympics I would photograph the sporting events with my own take on it all - I would photograph the losers."
