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 [...]

A Boy’s Toys
Friday, August 28, 2009
A young fella contemplates life with his hand full of bounty. Slightly blurry (as Diana’s can be) but I find the selective focus of his right (on our left) hand holding the toy interesting.

Sabra
Thursday, April 23, 2009
This talented young fellow is one of the Melbourne Flickrites and I caught up with him early in April, along with many other photogs at one of our monthly meets. Most of us take a camera or two and this meet was no exception, I myself took a Polaroid 600SE, EE100 and the little Superheadz [...]
Girl with Mother of Pearl
Saturday, March 28, 2009
One slightly overcast, but quite lovely day a couple of years ago we went to Williamstown, a bayside suburb where my Mother grew up and where my Great Aunt, who is now 93 still lives. The children just love exploring rock pools so they were amply entertained (or rather entertained themselves on this occasion.

Portrait of a Young Woman
Friday, December 19, 2008
A talented young artist I know named Hazel Dooney held an exhibition earlier this year. The exhibition was (predominantly) of her photography with a couple of graphic works as well, the subject matter of these images being intimate in nature. The title of the exhibition was PORNO and the gallery staff all sported a T-Shirt [...]
Girl with a blackbird,fly
Thursday, November 13, 2008
A lot of blue happening here, blue dressing gown, blue eyes, blue background, blue blackbird fly. One of my favourite bbf shots (taken with my orange bbf, yes I’m spoilt – I have two of these cool cameras). I think I love this shot so much because my daughter just looks like she is made [...]
Jun’s Cool Hat
Saturday, November 8, 2008
(originally posted on the old site, February 2008) This is Jun, a nice guy I met randomly one day in Brunswick whilst photographing old buildings with my pinhole camera. He stopped and started a conversation about photography and we chatted for a while, then I took his portrait (a different one to this) with my [...]
