So a quick recap of the highlights over the past year if my mind can go back that far.A vox pop fashion street sheet for the City of Melbourne in the lead up to their Spring Fashion week last year. Great fun I will post some pics from that on the site shortly.A trip to Europe with the family for a wedding in London and then 2 weeks in Brittany on the coast of France. Just superb all round and a good mix of hustle and bustle and then relaxation.Construction shots for Albert Street Food amp Wine bar locally here in Brunswick. This shoot was done in around 6 stages from very early cave like interior to the finished product including portraits of their chef Philippa Sibley and product shots of her marvelous preserved vegetables.Two months of shooting portraits for the RMIT Founders Day Magazine which is due to come out in September this year. Great fun with my assistant Rebecca Rocks as we travelled t... 2012-5-16 01:22:12 http://www.cgphotography.com.au/page19.htm#97270 Well the first half of this year has been flat out and every time I get set to write about it something more pressing happens so the time has ticked away for nearly 12 months before I have been able to write another post. A few highlights this year have been shooting again for RMITs Founders Day magazine an annual publication that gets distributed through the Australian Financial Review Newspaper. Such a pleasure to work on and meeting a very diverse range of academics and trying to capture their research in a photograph. I also had the opportunity to fly up to the Gold Coast for Bloomberg to shoot gold yes you read correctly flying in over Broadbeach at 7am with the beautiful surf and sun just hitting the beach. I was going to a gold shop just a street away from the beach and I thought a little too optimistically that I would get time to nip over and put my toes in the water after the shoot finished. Did this happen No. I was given a very small meeting room to set up and shoot i... 2011-6-29 02:16:28 http://www.cgphotography.com.au/page19.htm#71001 2010-7-22 01:46:16 http://www.cgphotography.com.au/page19.htm#71000 Apologies to those who may have tried to view the site or email me over the past 2 days both my website and email disappeared off the face of the earth.......... Last week ended in a trip to Corowa just north of the Victorian state border. My mission was to photograph the pork processing unit of Rivalea which included the abbattoir boning and packaging areas. The slaughterhouse was an assault to all senses although not as much blood as I thought there would be. I will get around to putting some of the images up it was very theatrical in nature and I was able to cope by just switching off. The wall in my office is covered with pictures of peoples hands the Glenroy extravaganza is nearly ready. Unfortunately the launch date has been changed from August 21st until a later date yet TBC due to the election. 2010-7-22 01:46:14 http://www.cgphotography.com.au/page19.htm#69100 2010-6-29 05:33:37 http://www.cgphotography.com.au/page19.htm#69099 Freezing cold such a stark difference to the Pilbara last week. This week is turning out to be a busy one before we head up to Sydney for a few days over the weekend and next week. Housing feature Orica chlorine plant a Bendigo piggery followed by an underwater shoot for the Melbourne City baths 150th Birthday celebration due to happen tomorrow night but with Melbourne as cold as it is I am not sure I am looking forward to it as much as I thought I would. Might need to get out the wetsuit. This will be a good chance to put the Pentax underwater camera to use after my first one died while shooting under water at Ant Atoll in the middle of the Pacific. Yep had to name drop that oneThe Moreland project is nearly ready to go to print but the logistics of finding a printer installer and anti graffiti company are driving me quietly insane. Having said that after this is complete I will have some great contacts to use again for future projects that require similar outcomes. Having to d... 2010-6-29 05:33:35 http://www.cgphotography.com.au/page19.htm#68786 End of the week and in need of the weekend. Returned from Perth yesterday morning at 6am I fully appreciate why that midnight flight from Perth to the East Coast is called the redeye. Had three days travelling through the Pilbara visiting Gindalbie Metals and Atlas Iron mines. So much red dirt EVERYWHERE lots of travelling on little buses and little airplanes but the view from the planes were just beautiful and my first time in the Pilbara I can appreciate why people rave about it such a magnificent looking country. The contrast between the pale moss green of the spinifex and the red iron ore rock makes any photo worth taking. 2010-6-25 02:01:26 http://www.cgphotography.com.au/page19.htm#68055 This week is leading up to a busy period. The Glenroy documentary is well and truly underway with the last families being interviewed and photographed this weekend. If you havent heard about the public art project for Glenroy Moreland Council watch this space or better still watch the streets of Glenroy during August. The project is a documentary involving households of Glenroy. Each household member chooses an object that is precious to them and in their own words describes what it is and why they have chosen it. Only their hands are photographed holding the object. The photographs and stories will be printed on metal panels and installed on the pedestrian barriers that line the streets of Glenroy. Next week I am off to Western Australia on a mining trip for Bloomberg. Very exciting as I have never been to the Pilbara before will make sure I post some favourite shots when I get back. Last week I visited Great Western just outside of Ararat to photogr... 2010-6-16 02:25:04
