I’ve managed to keep very busy over the last couple of weeks, mainly trying to get on top of all the work that I have with wedding reprint and album orders plus also the back log of work made in Melbourne. I also have just finished a week of traveling...

Melbourne Wrap Up Well, the big final presentation went off without a hitch. A small crowd gathered to fil the 600 seat venue (well 40 of the seats anyway). There were a lot of people talking afterwards and the laptop was propped up on three different bars that night to...

A bit of a clipping from Melbourne Justin Hamilton Interview in 2004 Comedy Festival Guide in Melbouren street press Inpress. Cameron Burke Q. – It’s a great photo you’re using as your program image Justin Hamilton A. – “How amazing are Wombat’s photos? I mean, he used to be the...

It’s all got big. I’ve been flat out talking photos, even sold a few. First major stuff up yesterday, my batteries in the hard drive went flat and didn’t download a shoot with Danny Bhoy. Also got to get moving on the Big Revolving Faces Live audio visual spectacular. I...

Day 13 Sunday was initially spent sleeping, then I got up and went west to meet Vaya and Jo, my next comedians. We ended up in a large grass, kinda scrubby area behind some houses in the western suburbs. It was a challenge as there was little shade and lots...

Melbourne Day 11 Hmm… Friday. I thought I’d better go off and do catching up today, I had a shoot with Matt King in the afternoon and a whole morning to fill in. I ended up heading down to Phoenix Studio in South Yarra to investigate prices for studio hire,...

Day 12 Saturday was a really good day, I spent most of it on a little drive in the country with Tori, a friend from Uni who is about to go overseas for an extended period of time. I thought that she needed to get out of the city for...

Melbourne Day 11 OK, in the last couple of days I’ve shot The Bedroom Philosopher, a good shoot which included his tie collection. I also saw Justin Kennedy (great show, well crafted), Lee Mack (classic UK stand up, very good and a great intro video), Rob Rouse (yet another UK...

Melbourne Day 9 Today started with the shooting of Richard McKenzie, after a few locations that suited the hair I settled upon the first image I took that day. It was in his bathroom silhouetted against his shower curtain which had some shells that matched his hair. From there I...

Melbourne Day 8. I don’t really like springy couches, and so I didn’t have a great nights sleep. I still got up early and saw that it had rained during the night, proving that I did get some sleep as didn’t hear a thing. I gave my recently relocated friend...

Melbourne Day 7 Up at 6am to catch a boat back to Melbourne. I’m not sure about you but the prospect of spending 10 hours on a floating RSL love boat does not excite me all that much. This was my 25th trip across bass strait, the first time I...

Melbourne day 6. Today I am still in Tasmania, but had a rather nice wedding to take photos of, plus had a good catch up breakfast with my friend Frog, down at the seaport with almost perfect reflections of the autumn colored willow trees on the other side of the...
