I was delighted to hear that Dr. Julia Dolan, the Curator of Photography at the Portland Art Museum, has selected two of my images to feature in the The Art of Photography Show on October 12th at the San Diego Institute of art. I have decided to pack my bags and head to the U.S. for the opening. Can't wait!

It was a chance of a lifetime and a dream come true to be selected to participate in the 2013 Sydney Magnum Photos workshop with photographer
Eli Reed.
The workshop was put on by the Head On Photography Festival and include two other Magnum photographers, Ian Berry and Chris Steele-Perkins. Participants had to construct a Sydney based photographic essay consisting of 10 images over a five day period. The Pressure was on but the results and the experience proved to be rewarding. Magnum Photos will compile the images from the workshop and will release a book of work. Check back for release date........

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Kiandra Ski Film Project Stills - I made a film about the skiing history of Australia for the NSW Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water as part of a research project for my Masters degree. Links to parts of this film to come soon.............

Looking upon this empty landscape you would never have known it was here in 1861, the township of Kiandra first introduced skiing to Australia. To the detriment of many, the remains of the town were leveled in the 1960’s because at the time, preserving sites of heritage was not considered a worthwhile endeavour.
On one level, these photographs simply convey the natural beauty and stillness of the Australian landscape. However, through the stories and memories of the people who once lived there, the photographs become imbued with a deeper level of meaning. In this way, the landscape gains a voice and it is my hope as a photographer the viewer will reflect on the importance of documenting such histories to ensure their significance and survival for future generations.
This body of photographic work was constructed in conjunction with a film, to commemorate 150 years of Australian skiing and the people who have fought diligently to keep this history alive.
