My latest exhibition is called 'Visual Synergy'. It is being exhibited in the Red Wall Gallery in the Republic Bar and Cafe, Elizabeth St, North Hobart June 21st - Aug 8th. The opening was a great night. Plenty of good people, good wine and beautiful Flamenco guitar by the legendary Paul Gerrard (thanks again Paul!). And good sales too!

AUSTRALIAN PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY AWARDS - Epilogue



Well, I'm just getting my feet back on the ground in Tassie after an amazing couple of weeks in Sydney. To summarise my APPA Results...
Highest Scoring Print and Gold with Distinction Award in the Self-Commisioned Category.
Silver with Distinction Award in the Landscape Category.
Silver with Distinction Award in the Environmental Portrait Category.
78 Bronze Point Award in the Wedding Photojournalism Category.

Talk about stoked!!! I'll be having another go again in Melbourne next year for sure. Such a wonderful event - so much talent and hard work on display. I really got a sense of how much passion and comittment Australian photographers have for their craft, and also the depth of tradition and history in the AIPP organisation. I felt very welcomed as a newcomer and relished meeting so many gifted people. Peter Eastway, Christian Fletcher and Jackie Chan all gave me so much of their time - Jackie a whole day later in the week - I never expected such legendary photographers to be so open and giving with their time!!!
This is the other entry that won silver distinction in the environmental portrait category and the wedding photojournalism entry.
over and out for now...
