trip35.net now live!
I’m very pleased to announce the arrival of my new project: trip35.net
There’s already some great content on there by photographers from around the world.
And I’m really happy with the understated design. Head over and check it out!
SOYA 09
I’ve been shortlisted in the SOYA awards. Exciting!
The prize is $5,000 in QANTAS flights, $5000 cash and a mentorship with phenomenal New York based photographer Tim Richardson.
Previous winners include Joan Cameron Smith , James Brickwood and Joshua Glenn Heath, so the standard is pretty high (I’m not holding my breath)
I was actually shortlisted in 2006 as well. Second time lucky!?
Check out the rest of the shortlist here.
shashin collective
I was pretty excited to be contacted a little while ago by UK photographer Tim Cochrane inviting me to submit some pics for a website he was planning.
I kinda forgot about it until I got an email from him this week saying it was live. Check it out: The Shashin Collective
Tim says the site “has been created to showcase the work of today’s most cutting edge photographers from around the world.” Not sure if I fit that description!
It’s cool to have work shown alongside some photographers I really admire, especially Phil Sharp, who takes amazing portraits.
Make sure you check out Tim’s work - he does a bunch of stuff for mags like NME.
night at the museum
After a little bit of wrangling with the nice people at The Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery I was allowed to take some pics of this cool old diorama.
I always loved the quaintness of this display - the owl dangling from the roof is my favourite.
Patricia Piccinini liked it so much that she had a new one made from scratch for her awesome Evolution exhibition that recently finished up at TMAG.
Sadly I think these sort of dioramas are on the way out in favour of interpretive panels and touch screens, so I was keen to document it before it disappears.
southern exposure part 2
The exhibition is up and running at 146 Elizabeth St. If you’re in Hobart, check it out during business hours till the end of the month.
Here’s a few of my favourites:

And here’s a couple of mine that I haven’t blogged before.
