I shot the Laneway Festival for the first time yesterday. Despite the sweltering heat, it was a nice, laid-back festival, with plenty of time between bands for wandering around the very compact site. Although I shot 22 bands during the night, I still managed to get plenty of crowd photos as well. View fullsize View […]
William
As much as I like taking portraits, I generally suffer from a chronic lack of willing subjects. My nephew Will visited for a few days recently, so I jumped on the chance to take some shots. I won’t go so far as to say he was a willing subject – after the window reflection shot […]
Jack Johnson, Tegan and Sara and Ash Grunwald
Last night was probably my last live music shoot of the year, with Jack Johnson performing at the Brisbane Riverstage, supported by Ash Grunwald and Tegan and Sara. Next up will be Sunset Sounds at the same venue in January. As usual, shot for the AU Review.

Twelve Apostles
One of the most photographed spots along the Great Ocean Road. The afternoon these shots were taken, there were at least 4 other ‘serious’ photographers, along with countless tourists. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize

Just a couple of late afternoon shots on Collins St in Melbourne. View fullsize View fullsize

Barossa Valley
A cold, rainy day (and my aversion to wine) meant not much vineyard visiting during today’s drive in the Barossa Valley. We did visit Maggie Beer’s Farm Shop, which has all kinds of produce, from quince paste and olive oil to dukkah and ice-cream. View fullsize Rather than a traditional ‘restaurant’ menu, Maggie Beer offers […]
Day 7
A tale of woe before the photos. My trip’s been cut short. My campervan had a malfunction today so I decided I should skip the trip to Lake Mungo. The van has a pop-top roof, which, when popped, is the sleeping area. When collapsing the roof this morning, one of its brackets snapped and the […]
Day 6
For the first time this trip, I’m spending a second night in the same place. I spent most of the morning exploring Kinchega National Park, and when 2:00pm came and I realised I hadn’t eaten all day, I figured the 3-ish hour drive to Lake Mungo probably wouldn’t be a good idea. So, I’m back […]
