If I seem a bit distracted this month, in no small part it is due to this gentleman. Let me explain, this is Jeff Moorfoot, one of the primary driving forces behind the Ballarat International Foto Biennale. Jeff is the festival director and with the help of the committee, volunteers and participating artists from Australia and overseas has put together the 3rd Foto Biennale held in country Victoria, the first two being held in Daylesford in 2005 and 2007. I’ve been looking forward to this years event for oh, 2 years now, ever since the last one! The Ballarat International Foto Biennale is about to kick off (tonight in fact) and anyone who is even vaguely interested in Photography would find more than enough to entertain and enlighten them in the month of September in the beautiful country Victorian town of Ballarat and it’s surroundings. Comprising 20 Core exhibitions, 60 Fringe shows, workshops, seminars, portfolio reviews, affiliate events, artist floor talks, camera market, special events…and much more it should be a fantastic start to Spring!

Great to see a Polaroid photo!
What a great portrait! Love it.
I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to go to the Biennale this time. I’ve heard great things about this year’s event. Did you enjoy it?
Thanks all! Susan, it’s been great. I’ve been volunteering (gallery sitting & such) so have not seen all the exhibitions in Ballarat, but it is on until October 4th, so I’m hoping to catch some more! Cheers!
