recent tearsheets . July 16, 2009
A couple of my shots of furniture designer David Trubridge are in the current issue of Dumbo Feather. These were taken while I was at Bay of Fires earlier in the year. (See the original pics here.) I love what they’ve done with the opening pic.
A Fine Line used this shot of The Scandal on the cover of their winter issue.
The mag was originally designed by Hammer & Tong, but I’ve got a feeling they’re not doing it anymore which is a pity because it was looking pretty slick. I’m not really happy with the crop or the print quality of this one (see the original here)
black thunder . July 11, 2009
Check out my new black Trip 35. They only made a few of these so I’m pretty excited to get my hands on one.
I ran my first film through it yesterday and came across these horses. They were real posers!

odd + even = over . June 30, 2009
Odd + Even is over again, but what a success!
It’s the first time the market has been held at The Long Gallery , which proved to be the perfect space.
Billy Whims and Sam J Nicholson played a marathon three-hour set
And I sold all my cameras!
As usual, Jess and Cat did an awesome job organising everything
Check out these fun photos from the day, courtesy of partybooth.
Me and Jo with our wares

ivy st. . June 25, 2009
Ivy St needed some new promo shots. This is what we did:
These are probably the least flattering photos I’ve ever taken. But hopefully they stand out against the constantly recurring band shot cliches and air-brushed posing that seems to be standard in music photography (see some funny examples here)
Ivy St are a great band doing some exciting things. They were snapped up by Wireless Records after a recent gig in Melbourne and they’ll be putting out their debut album in September, followed by a national tour and even some gigs in New Zealand.
maybe a white one? . June 22, 2009
I’ve been collecting Trip 35’s for a little while and some are in pretty bad shape, so I’ve been experimenting with replacing the leatherette.
Check out this one in white.
Here’s a couple of shots taken with it:
I’m gonna have a bunch of cameras and prints for sale at the Odd + Even market in Hobart this Saturday. The market is organised by my girlfriend Jess and her friend (and awesome artist) Cat.
Come along and check out the creative bits and pieces at the Long Gallery, Salamanca from 10am.
want one? . June 19, 2009
You need one of these cameras. It’s an Olympus Trip 35 and it’s awesome.
If you’re in Hobart next weekend I can sell you one.
More details soon!
weekend in the wild west . June 15, 2009
Just spent the weekend on Tassie’s west coast. It’s about as rugged as it gets.
The Queenstown air strip
Queenstown has been largely untouched by the tourist boom that’s taken over nearby Strahan. It’s very much still a mining town, with the bare hills of Mt Lyell looming over the main street.
Downtown Queenstown
Jess took some photos too
The reason for the trip was to check out the long-abandoned Lake Margaret village, which will feature in an exciting project that’s in the works. More news soon!
feature shoot . June 08, 2009
I’m a bit excited about this profile I got over at featureshoot.com
It’s a relatively new photo blog that “showcases work from up-and-coming photographers alongside work from established photographers who have completed a project or whose work has taken on a new direction.”
It’s one of my favourite sites and a great resource for finding inspiring work by photographers around the world.
I also got a few pics from a series I shot in Shanghai posted at lost at e minor, which is a cool site full of creative bits and pieces.
