This Year I was commissioned by the Port Augusta City Council to photograph and design a range of venues and  scenarios for the Council web page.

These are composite images that have been designed to provide the big picture but also include a focus on the people of our town. There is the added component  of use on various implements such as phones, tablets and wide screens to consider.

Melissa and Neil's Wedding

The second wedding for 2014, and the weather was not hot.... just windy... there is always something to contend with.

At least the bride wanted some different scenarios which stopped the wind winning on the day and resulted in some great images.

A Brush With Art and ARID

Well what a busy couple of months it has been!
An Exhibition and demonstration at Rawnsley Park for "A Brush With Art"; Sculpture pieces for FIBRESPACE and CURDNATTA installed at The Australian Arid Lands Botanic Garden; Life on the Edge exhibition at Curdnatta, pieces exhibited in FREE RANGE and BLOOMS; a photoshoot for RUOK.  And in the middle of all this a visit from Tamsin, Polly and Elliot which lasted for 3 weeks and included catch ups with the rest of the family and Tam and Polly getting sick.

I must admit I am enjoying the slower pace of this week.

The great news is I sold a half a dozen artworks and several books, bags and cushions  and to top it off Curdnatta's sculpture was judged second in the ARID sculptural event. 

Family get Together at Horsham

A quick family holiday at Horsham provided the opportunity for everyone to reconnect, especially
the cousins who are still developing their awareness of each other. 

There were some fun times together and an early birthday party for Polly.

We also saw some of the local attractions.
The journey to Halls Gap gave us an insight into the devastating bush fires that occurred last summer. There is new growth but the trees took on an alien presence with their deformity. Hopefully the area will get back to its former beauty soon.

A trip to the "Top End"

A quick trip to the "Top End" provided a fantastic opportunity to photograph a different kind of  rugged Australian landscape. 

The pics of Edith Falls have been well received on Australia.com.



An aerial view of Kakadu showed the landscape as an ethereal world with the fires of the dry season smoking eriely below and winding rivers glinting in the sun.



Katherine Gorge provided some challenging lighting  but the reflections added  to the sense of grandure.



Although I wasn't particularly intereted in crocodiles we found that they are a huge part of  tourism in the territory and I now know more about them than I could have ever imagined.
