I finally got around to making the trip to the aforementioned isle to check out some of the 2010 Biennale of Sydney. And I figured it could be a good opportunity to try some new bits of gear as well, namely a fisheye lens (for the tight spaces) and a point ‘n’ shoot (for the [...]

I’m involved in another head on
No Mum, it’s OK. It’s not a nasty traffic accident, but the prize for photographic portraiture. Having been selected as a finalist in ‘09 I was chuffed to learn that an image of mine has been chosen as part of the 2010 Head On Portrait Prize exhibition of 40 prints.
Formerly a stand alone show, Head [...]
unplug the x-box and do yourself a favour
I harbour fantasies about being a contestant on the SBS TV show Rockwiz - you get to hang out at The Espy hotel in St. Kilda, flirt with the lovely Julia Zamiro, meet an Australian music legend or two and generally have a good time. But I dread the first part of the show where Julia asks contestants to come clean about the first [...]

“I Heart Kings Cross”, part of the City of Sydney’s 2009 Art and About festival, is an initiative of Sydney [...]

laneways by george!
Today I got a sneak peek at the City of Sydney’s “Laneways By George! Hidden Networks” art programme, part of the larger “Art and About” arts festival that is officially launched this Thursday, October 1.
Laneways By George! sees eight artists transform some of the CBD’s narrowest, darkest alleys into outdoor interactive, creative spaces, each interpreting the ideas of art, architecture and the urban [...]
