Print & Exhibition.

I would like to announce that a few days ago (20th Jan 2015), my work was featured in The Brisbane Collective, edition 4. Hoorah! A locally owned and printed mag celebrating and promoting local creativity in and around Brisbane.

Established in 2014, a number of articles showcasing their work. With occasional pop-up exhibitions (more on that soon...)

My feature includes 4x locals and their favourite hangouts. Bonsai Botanika (Brisbane CBD), Fonzie Abbott (Ascot), The End (West End) and Bosc (also in West End). Great places to grab, something to eat and relax. Brisbane's food and drink scene has been on the increase lately, offering many cultural delights.

All images shot on colour film (Kodak Ultramax 400), with my Canon A1. The use of natural or available creating some wonderful portraits.

Technique and Approach #5.

This time round I'll be looking at this piece. "Essence of Bird."

My fascination with light and reflection /refraction. Not what I see, but how I see it. Fascinated by my cars rear view mirror and it's affect /effect on and with light, I set out one day to an industrial area. A flock of birds rummaging around on the ground, fluttering about. Pointing my camera at my rear view mirror (in night time mode), I snapped this. A bit of double exposure (sort of). 

The lines to the left I think are the result of the hard sun hitting the rear windshield anti-mist elements, with the birds on the right (essence) from the refraction / reflection of the mirror. Later I looked into how the mirror worked, giving me a slightly better understanding of what resulted that day. Interesting.

Happy new year!

This year will bring new experiences and challenges. The main event being my trip to Europe. Cultural, food, language. It's going to be incredible!

Thank you to everyone who has been part of my journey so far. I look to sharing with you all this new year and the next chapter of my photographic journey.
