May Exhibition

Every year in May the Curdnatta Art Group holds its "May Exhibition" .

Traditionally it is a time for artists to produce new works for the gallery and freshen the place up for the tourist season . Thousands of "Happy Campers" and "Grey Nomads" head north looking for some sun as the weather cools in the southern cities. Hopefully they will take some time to do the cultural / historic walk which leads them to our door; we are housed in the original railway station.

I have a few pieces ready and a couple of portraits left over from the exhibition earlier in the year I guess this will be a surprise to people used to the usual souvenir trade ;-DD

INVITATION

The morning tea on the opening day is just as popular as the ART ;-))

Tassie Pics

I have been taking photos of aspects of the new Tassie Hotel and Primo Restaurant as promotional images for a range of projects and events. A great opportunity to work with a range of lighting and to continue to develop and use panorama images to advantage.

This also fits in well with the Curdnatta Photographers current theme of INDUSTRY.

Outback Pouches

A few snippets from this week ;-))

• The hamburger article in SA Life magazine was published with several of my images included ;-)
• Flinders Ranges and Outback SA Tourism association ordered 100 pouches made from marbled fabric to be used in their forthcoming seminar. The pouches will be gifts for delegates and contain business cards and a USB memory stick with images and information about the region.
• The Department of Education and Children's Services purchased images of marbled designs to use in an educational publication.
• I received the feedback sheets and statistics from the FACE UP exhibition. 776 people attended during the month! I sold 8 pieces and I am negotiating a few more ;-)). You can see the review HERE.

Brad and Carly's Wedding

Carly and Brad were married on Saturday March 27th. Although the day was hot by evening there was cloud cover and a slight breeze and the night was walm and balmy.
Good food, wine and fabulous friends and family made the occasion memorable. The consensus is it was one of the best weddings we have been to for a while. ;-))
I'll continue to add photos to the SLIDESHOW .

Wedding Preparations

On Saturday Brad and Carly will be married.

What a joyful celebration it will be. The wedding will take place at the Willows Restaurant between Port Augusta and Quorn and will be an elegant, no frills affair organised to perfection and incorporating good food, wine, music and the company of good friends and fabulous family... all the elements they most enjoy in life.

I am looking forward to playing the role of mother of the bride for the second and last time and relishing the prospect of spending time with family and friends who will travel from across Australia to be with us at this time.

All the outfits have been lovingly sourced, created and prepared and are in waiting for the big day ;-)
