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...

Exhibition Opening, May Contain Traces Of Nuts Version 1 I think about 40 people turned up for the opening, which is all I was expecting. It’s a good crowd and quite easy to “circulate” around. Richard Bennett said some quite nice things and his notes ended up in the hands...

More than one thing happened at the falls festival. I went to the Falls Festival. I even managed to get a media pass. I took some photos, some of which were great, some of which would have made a less moralistic and ethical photographer quite a bit of cash. I...

Airport… I kind of like airports. I’ve been in this one for 3 ½ hours. Not because of delays (but I’m here longer because of them). I just came early so that I could get some work done. I’ve been in Melbourne for a week and have accumulated a few...

Shooting A Python. Some of the more attentive readers may have noticed the addition of Michael Palin to my Portrait Challenge last wee. For those of you who don't know who he is i recommend you have a go hire a Monty Python video, the movie “A Fish Called Wanda”...

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...

Cleaning and Cleanering I’m sneezing. Means I’ve been making a bit of a dust storm doing the spring cleaning. It’s more of a Spring Organise than clean. The bookwork is up to date and in a friendlier format so it won’t take me ages to get it done. I’ve moved...
