A few months back now I entered the Brisbane Lord Mayor’s Photographic Awards 2010. The finalists have been announced although I was not successful with my Photograph ‘Lazy Sundays’, it is however eligible for the People’s Choice Award. If you like my photograph and think it deserves a vote then click here and show me your support!
Field sketch – King Island.
Wellington Point [Erobin] is the bayside Brisbane suburb where we were living up until only a couple of months ago. I spent many weekend mornings and afternoons down by the ocean watching the sunset over the ranges to the west. It is such a beautiful place to be whether you are taking the low tide walk out to King Island or enjoying fresh fish ‘n’ chips by the waters edge. These are some of my photographs from time spent down the point.

Earlier on in the year I had the privilege of photographing the wedding of Kim + Rod. The weather came together on the day after a little rain on the lead up to the big weekend. Fortunately we had everything we needed photographed outdoors before it set in once more.

Thank-you to my wife Céline for accompanying me on the day and assisting with direction and the load of gear and also shooting with a second Canon body/lens, I couldn’t have done it without you.

At the former Polaroid factory in Enschede (NL) a small team of experts has embarked on an exciting analog adventure. Their mission is to save Instant Photography from extinction by inventing and manufacturing entirely new and creative instant film materials.
The Impossible Project, have made the impossible possible. After closure of the original Polaroid manufacturing plant in the Netherlands, a void lay in the world of Instant Photography. That void has now been filled thanks to a group of die-hard analog enthusiasts and their fresh stock of their new PX 100 + 600 Silvershade films.
I received earlier this week my package direct from Europe via factory mail-order, 5 packs of PX 100 monochrome + 4 packs of expired Time-Zero, both for use with my beloved SX-70 Polaroid Land Camera.
Below is the first frame using the expired TZ-Artistic (Paul Giambarba Edition), deadstock from the last year of production in Enschede (NL) in 2008. Thank-you Céline for the portrait and Impossible for bringing back the joy of Instant Photography.
