We have hung the first installation of x pollination at Retford Park, the National Trust property gifted by James Fairfax to the National Trust NSW in 2016. I’ve been a member of the artists collective The Artists of the Round Yard for the past 4 years or so. No doubt this is the most dynamic […]

a small series of works has opened for show this past weekend. The works have gone through a series of modalities – I created backgrounds using plaster, washes with alcohol inks and powdered dye, I then photographed these. All the while during summer I had been collecting things that caught my attention as I went […]

I will be having my first showing with Linton & Kay Gallery in Subiaco, Perth. The works in this exhibition “The winds of change (…and 2020)” were created initially during lockdown stemming from COVID-19.  The whimsical nature expressed in the works came naturally, an inclination perhaps towards a desire to escape, to float from the relentless […]

Great chat with Adam Williams – we explore my work, why I have gone the route I have, and I’ve hopefully lobbed a few grenades into the ‘play nicely’ brigade that is considered ‘proper’ Landscape Photography …. with constructive ends it’s hoped. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1Cpu9OFdgw&feature=youtu.be

Just received a copy of a book I have been working on. It incorporates all images to date in the series Terra Australis Incognita (unknown Southern Land). There is a superb forward by Tony Hewitt and it has allowed me to evaluate the progression of the work which began, in earnest, 2 years ago.

I missed the announcement on this one!!!  Only saw it when I went to enter this year’s (2017) competition… I received two honourable mentions in two categories – Self Portrait and People for The Hatters Exit in the 2016 competition.  Not too shabby considering there were 26,000 other images …

Only just got word that I received a few more citations than I had realised during the annual ‘Supremo’ Black and White Awards last year…. I got an Honorable Mention for Kickoff along with two further images that were nominated as contenders for the Architectural and the Still Life Categories not too shabby for 7,500 […]

Two Silver Awards and one Silver with Distinction Award in this outing….

I’m very appreciative of my peers in the regional arm of the Australian Institute of Professional Photographers for giving me a gold and three silver awards for images I submitted into the regional (NSW/ACT) Professional Print Awards in Sydney this past weekend.  Especially gratifying is that the gold was in a category which I have […]

Fortunate news – after having got only 3 images as nominees for awards at the 2014 competition I’ve been fortunate this year to have 6 images nominated (shortlisted) for the 2015 Spider Black and White Awards.  The most encouraging thing is that the images were in a wide variety of categories from ‘Children of the […]

I feel very humbled and fortunate that the veritable Stark Awards have awarded me winner of the Fine Art Category of the 2015 competition (with luminaries in the photography firmament judging the competition such as Michael Levin, Scott Kelby, Michael Freeman and Ted Forbes). One of the judges had the following commentary on my image: […]

Two of my images have received Silver Awards at the 2015 Australian Professional Print Awards – it’s always a harrowing experience where five Master Photographers of the Australian Institute of Professional Photographers (AIPP) get up to inspect your (physical) print and pass commentary (if you’re lucky!) and their scores… it was a particularly tough year […]

Two images (see below) have been voted to be include in the book published annually of what is considered the Top 101 Landscape Photographs of the Year as voted for by my Landscape Photographer peers – very rewarding, particularly in light of the fact that my images were selected against 2600 others.

As part of the Australian Professional Print Awards regional outing I elected to enter two images into categories I’ve not entered before (with much seriousness) ie. Portrait and Illustrative.  I was very surprised and proud to have been given a Silver and a Gold image respectively – a real honour as this is my first […]
