Home Again I think I’m finally back in Tasmania for a descent amount of time. I think I am anyway. I’ve just got back from Sydney and the Cannon Australian Professional Photography Awards, which is just an excuse for photographers from all over the Australia to get in the same...

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...
