Tasmanian oak This story was told to me by a guy on the Spirit, he just decided to tell me out of the blue. He wondered why he hadn’t seen and Tasmanian Oak trees on his trip to Tas. He was at a forestry interpretation centre and they had displays...

I'm busy. And this is not supposed to be the very busy time, that is still coming, this is just the busy time. Being busy means that i am also tired. My office, car and room are all a mess, a variety of papers, clothes and rubbish have invaded anyplace...

Bat on TelleBeing Filmed and interviewed is somthing I have to work on... the filming part is OK, I just have to work on the answering questions part. I don't think alot and when someone asks questions I have problems thinking of good things to say... I do think of...

General Update On StuffWell, my exhibition prints are all done and at the framer. I can't believe it's only 2 and a bit weeks till the Sydney part opens. It's good to be doing somthing in Sydney a place where I have never shown any works, and also good that...

Media Week What a interesting news week, there was a nice feature story about me and the time I spent working for the Launceston Uni taking photos of cadavers. There was a little in there about by past achievements and a bit about what I’m doing now and planning, but...

Why do I do Wedding? At the end of the wedding season in May, we have the professional photography awards. These awards normally inspire me to want to take more photos, especially wedding photos. But i can't as the season is over and i have to wait about 5 months...

Melbourne Again, Yes, Melbourne call once again, this time I have had a few calls to return, and one from Sydney too. Time to go take all those comedy festival poster shots I’ve been trying to take for years. There are not a huge amount of people wanting them, but...

Work Contrasts It’s s busy time. It’s getting to the pointy end of the year and once the year finishes, my real work starts. I have 9 weddings booked for the first 3 months of 2005 plus the Falls Festival, Hobart Comedy Festival and my little exhibition. As soon as...
