New Exhibition – Stones Corner

June 9th, 2010 — 9:44pm

Hello Again for the second time today!

It’s late notice I know, but I have an exhibition starting tomorrow that I would love you to attend…

In celebration of the diverse and exciting culture around the beautiful village of Stones Corner, for the
very first time, the Stones Corner Street Party will explode onto the street on Thursday 10th June 2010
from 3.30pm.

Free to the public and to make room for a mega-goodtime, the main street of Stones Corner (Logan Road)
from Old Cleveland Road through to Jeavons Lane, will be closed to traffic allowing the area to come alive
with everything from Belly-dancing, Punjabi Dancing, African Henna Tattooing and Zulu Dancing to Ice
Sculpting, Choirs exotic food tastings, music and more.

Headlining the brilliant Street Party Concert will be indi/electro sensations Tin Can Radio, timeless
alternative-country and folk favourites Lion Island and indi-popsters Charlie Mayfair.

Imagine an entertainment precinct from 3.30pm when the kids finish school right through till around
9.00pm – the Stones Corner Street Party will include plenty of children’s activities including art and dancing,
The Brisbane Live iPhone Orchestra (BLIP), visual and sound art installations and market & food stalls.
Stones Corner, since it’s early beginnings in the late 1800’s, has always been home to a diverse range of
cultures and people. This Street Party celebrates all that is great about the Stones Corner and surrounding
communities and is supported by the The Stones Corner Community and Economic Development
Association (SCCEDA) and the Brisbane City Council, Creative City Initiative.

Featured amoungst the street party is a set of rising star Photographers, and I’m proud to announce I was one of the 3 selected for the event.

I will be exhibiting four Canvas prints which are available for sale privately. Should you be interested in a limited run, please email me via my contact details

Canon AIPP Australian Professional Photography Awards 2010

June 9th, 2010 — 9:38pm

Hello All!
Sorry for the slack amount of updates, I’ve got many exciting things in the pipeworks, and many of you will be interested to read it all, unfortunately you will have to wait a few more weeks.

Last weekend was the hosting of the PMA Australia 2010 Digital Life Expo, which each year hosts the AIPP Australian Professional Photography Awards. I’m very proud to announce this year was my first year as a judge for the awards, and I believe I may have been the youngest judge available on the weekend. I was offered the position to judge late last month and sat in on the following 5 Categories; Science Nature & Environment, Portrait Open, Portrait Environmental, Illustrative and Documentary. The experience is one I will remember for a long time, having judged along side those who I respect so highly.

Amidst the weekend of craziness I entered 4 prints into the Landscape category and am happy to announce I’ve returned to Brisbane with a Silver award on one of my images.

Silver Award – 82
