I’ve finally had a chance to add a few images to my portfolio, so far only a few of them are available for sale because I need to take bigger pictures or ones of the final artwork that actually has my signature on it. A few images will remain as “not for sale” because they are commissioned artwork that I do not have permission to profit from print sales. In addition, have three new dog acrylic paintings nearly completed that I will be adding later this week, hopefully. Yep, as you can probably tell, I’m mostly a dog painter. Some people see dead people. Well, I paint dogs. And other animals, specifically pets such as cats and horses, because I am a pet portrait artist, but dogs are my usual subject matter and the major inspiration for my artwork. Ready for a shameless plug? You can have a look at my online gallery here http://www.pencilportraits.com.au Ta-Ta for now Michelle / (that dog artist)

I guess over the years I have developed a niche or love for photographing certain subjects more than others. I have a huge thing for hot rods, classic cars & trucks. It stems from a childhood spent at race tracks with my dad. I grew up in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s when hot cars and rock ‘n’ roll were king (and in my world they still are!). I’ll be sharing some of my favorite cars here. I also have a thing for getting into the “heart” of flowers. I find macro photography both fascinating and challenging. I enjoy getting out and about around San Diego photographing what I think is “America’s Finest City”. There are so many exciting places in this county…and many of them are free to enjoy! I don’t really enjoy photographing people. In fact, I can get a little annoyed when they are in my shot. ;) However if someone adds to the shot then I am pleased. I also love shooting portraits of my beautiful daughter because she doesn’t get annoyed with me. My sons are a different story however. I’m looking forward to sharing my photos and getting to know everyone here!

New Networks for Conservation Photographers / More than just pretty pictures – these institutions promote the use of photography for conservation purposes. / Source: PopPhoto.com | December 5, 2007 | Breaking news from America’s top photo magazines / BY RODDY SCHEER / September 2007 © Jeremy Woodhouse/Wildlight Nature Photography / A Japanese macaque captured by NANPA’s Jeremy Woodhouse. Click photo for more images. / No longer content just to take pretty pictures, many nature photographers these days have refocused their efforts on something more meaningful: the conservation of landscapes and the wildlife and indigenous peoples that inhabit them. Once the domain of a handful of National Geographic shooters, conservation has emerged as perhaps the driving force linking today’s aspiring and established nature shooters. / In response, a number of institutions have arisen to address the needs of this fast-growing group of eco-conscious shooters. First and foremost is the Colorado-based North American Nature Photography Association (NANPA), which was established in 1994 at the impetus of famed ornithologist Roger Tory Peterson. The organization today marshals the collective power of more than 3,000 photographers, editors, and photo buyers to promote the use of photography for conservation purposes. / Hundreds of NANPA members have volunteered to work for environmental groups and government agencies documenting endangered species and landscapes across the continent and beyond. The group also helps conservation groups directly with ongoing campaigns: Recently it joined an effort by the Alaska Conservation Foundation to step up wilderness protections on some of the 49th state’s most endangered lands. The association has also been active as a voice for increasing federal, state, and local funding for, and protecting access to, public lands through its Resource Relations Committee. “There is something to be said for an organization with 3,000 members asking a park manager to reconsider a policy,” says Kathy Adams Clark, a professional nature photographer who currently serves as NANPA’s president. / CONTACTS / North American Nature Photography Association / Tel: (303) 422-8527 / Website: nanpa.org / Blue Earth Alliance / E-mail: info@blueearth.org / Website: blueearth.org / International League of Conservation Photographers / Tel: (703) 304-1440 / Website: ilcp.com Anyone interested can join NANPA for a nominal annual fee and take advantage of its many tangible benefits, such as good rates on equipment and travel insurance, discounts at camera retailers, and access to the myriad resources available from the organization’s newsletter and members-only Website. Networking and learning opportunities abound at NANPA’s annual member summit and at various hands-on instructional events around the country. / Another organization on the cutting edge of conservation photography is Seattle-based Blue Earth Alliance, which teaches photographers how to raise money for and stage documentary projects about threatened environments, endangered cultures, and related social issues. Photographers can essentially borrow the group’s nonprofit 501©(3) status to attract tax-deductible donations from interested individuals, companies, and foundations. Beyond serving as a fiscal sponsor in this regard, Blue Earth coaches photographers on how to organize, shoot, fund, and publish special documentary projects. Since its inception in 1996, the group has served as the fiscal go-between on more than $1 million for 55 different photography projects, including exhibitions, books, and Websites. / Executive director Adam Weintraub points out that the group works with established shooters such as Frans Lanting and Gary Braasch as well as passionate upstarts like Benjamin Drummond, whose project Facing Climate Change tells the story of how climate change is affecting groups all over the world. “We are always on the lookout for great photographic storytellers with compelling projects,” says Weintraub. / © Benjamin Drummond / A reindeer herdsman in Norway by Blue Earth’s Benjamin Drummond. / While anyone can join NANPA or the Blue Earth Alliance by writing a check, the recently formed International League of Conservation Photographers (ILCP) is a more exclusive club. New fellows can be nominated and approved only by the existing membership. And quite a club it is: The group’s impressive list of “fellows” includes Art Wolfe, Chris Rainier, David Doubilet, Jack Dykinga, Joel Sartore, Kevin Schafer, Michael K. “Nick” Nichols, and Robert Glenn Ketchum, along with 38 other acclaimed nature photographers. / The ILCP was launched at the 2005 World Wilderness Conference in Anchorage, Alaska, at the urging of photographer Cristina Mittermeier, to “help create a culture of appreciation, understanding, and stewardship for the natural world.” Mittermeier directs the fledgling yet prestigious organization from her home in Virginia. / The group collaborated with the nonprofit Wildlife Conservation Society to publish Human Footprint: Challenges for Wilderness and Biodiversity in 2006, a richly appointed coffee table book showcasing imagery by ILCP fellows that documents man’s impact around the globe. In addition the group recently launched its first Rapid Assessment Visual Expedition (RAVE), in which a team of ILCP fellows and researchers descended on Mexico’s Triunfo region for ten days to document all aspects of this environmentally threatened area, then distributed their findings through the media. This kind of high-profile operation, a photographic Delta Force tasked with saving specific regions, is at the heart of the ILCP’s mission. / Of course any success in conservation photography must be measured one individual action at a time—so it’s up to individual photo enthusiasts to point their cameras in the directions that will make the most difference. That said, organizations like NANPA, Blue Earth Alliance, and ILCP are making it that much easier to amplify and harmonize what might otherwise seem like lone voices in the wilderness.
On occasion Mr. Axford has stirred the bubble cauldron with what some have coined ‘elitism’ due to the high standards that he expects of himself, but also from those around him, or at least a spark from the ‘photographer’ to understand commercial quality and what it means to the professional. Steve’s pursuit of the photographic eye has turned his attentions to some incredible scenes from below the equator. Jungles, volcanoes, poverty, sulfur mines. Scenes that are varied but most have some tinge of sadness, people studies from Indonesia show exactly how lucky we are… that makes me sad… tall growth forests that are being demolished… that makes me sad… hard working men emerging from massive green/yellow clouds of sulfur… that’s confronting! It’s the fungi and the volcanoes that Steve photographs which show a natural contrast in the delicacy and ferocity of our natural world. He’s even been known to do some conceptual portraiture, which he is better at than he would admit. As a big fan of the ‘volcanolotographer’ and the very competent (yet tough) co-moderator of the Wild Nature Group I interviewed Steve about what got him going, a sad story, what keeps him going and what he likes to see. Thanks to Steve for pouring his heart out… tripper! 1. Why do you do what you do…? / Do you mean why I take photos and why I take them of volcanoes, travel, people and fungi and things? A long story really, but here goes. / / Way back at the end of the last century – that would be about 10 years ago – my then wife, Pat, had just died of breast cancer and I was at a bit of a loss as to how to cope, when a travel brochure appeared in my letterbox. It was for adventure holidays, and among other destinations was one entitled “Volcanoes and Dragons”. I thought, that sounds different, so I booked myself on a 3 week adventure holiday traveling by fishing boat, bicycle and bimo from Flores to Bali. I didn’t even have a decent camera, so that bit comes a bit later. / / At that time I had been feeling a bit sick with stomach problems, so, just before I left for the holiday, I got a referral to see a specialist about it. I thought it was probably just a stress thing after Pat’s death; but apparently not. It seemed I had Hepatitis C. Now this was not good news as Hep C in 1998 was not a curable disease. / It seemed there was little I could do about it so I determined to carry on regardless and off I went to the volcanoes and dragons (the dragons being Komodo dragons). Since it was a malarial area, I thought that I’d best take some prophylactics and my doctor gave me some pills called Lariam. Lariam is out of favour now because it can cause some nasty psychiatric side effects, but the drug companies downplayed this at the time. It was a once a week pill and I had to take one a week before I left, which I did. A couple of days later I had an intense panic attack, which I thought was due to my general state of depression at the time and nervousness about traveling while sick. I recovered after a couple of days and flew to Jakarta. There were riots there at the time due to the monetary crisis which was expected to put 20 million people out of work in Java alone (can you believe that – the population of Australia!!), so I stayed in an airport hotel. I’d had my second lariam tablet the day I left, so it was working nicely when I arrived in Jakarta. That was some night. I started to “freak out” (I think this is the correct technical term) in my room and I felt I just had to get with some people or I would go mad. The journey from my room to the bar was terrifying as I felt totally lost and panicked the whole way. Eventually I found the bar and managed to relax by talking to the barman. He was a student who had had to quit studying when the monetary crisis hit. He traveled 5 hours, each way, to get to work every day. I was stunned and fascinated at the same time. I wanted to learn more about how people really lived in places like Java so maybe there where the people thing began, though I suspect the seeds were deeper than that. / / Anyway, I survived the night with the help of a couple of beers and a friendly barman, but then I had a long day’s travel the next day, first to Bali, and then on to Maumere in Flores. I was having panic attacks again, but managed to hold myself together for the flight to Bali. After waiting for 8 hours in Denpasar airport, they finally located a plane to take us to Maumere. I was starting to feel panicky again as I walked out to the plane. It was a Merpati airlines flight, though the plane was almost unidentifiable as all the paint seemed to be worn off and it was mostly down to bare metal. On board the seat I was in wouldn’t stop tilting as it was broken and the window had holes, both through the inner AND outer panes. Not surprisingly, we couldn’t fly above 3,500m as the pressurisation didn’t work; nor did the air conditioning so the plane was still very hot. / / Why am I talking about this flight? Well, perhaps it was because it was so intense and I was resigned to my life coming to an untimely and abrupt end on the side of an Indonesian mountain, ........ but then there was the volcano. We were flying through clouds when suddenly there was a clear patch. We were flying at about 3,500m, which put us 500m above a 3,000m volcano with the biggest crater I have ever seen. It was Tambora. The crater is 1km deep and 5km across and we were flying right along the edge of a 1000m cliff. I was suddenly no longer depressed or having a panic attack, I was just mesmerised. Check it out on Google Maps – it’s on Sumbawa in Indonesia and do a search on the eruption in 1816 that created that crater; it makes the Pinatubo eruption look like a fire cracker. The rest of flight was blissfully uneventful and I arrived safely on Flores to meet up with the tour group. On the first night the tour leader asked if anyone was taking lariam, because it was known to make people really paranoid. That was a huge relief to be told that, as I had thought I was genuinely going mad and this was “as good as it gets”. I stopped the lariam and the holiday was great and I had been reinfected with the travel bug and caught a new one, the volcano bug. / / The next 18 months was probably the worst part of my life. I was sick with Hepatitis and then sick with the newly developed treatment. I really did think that life as I knew may have ended and all I could do was just keep going and remember a line from Maxim Gorky’s writings – “Nothing lasts forever”. If it’s bad it will end, and if it’s good, appreciate it while it lasts. At the end of 6 months of chemotherapy (my last day was 31/12/1999) and a couple of months of recovery …..... I was cured!!!!! Now this was something to celebrate and to contemplate what really makes me tick. Travel was the first thing I planned. I went to Thailand, India and Burma that year and haven’t looked back since. I also bought my first digital camera and discovered that I could take the occasional good photograph – mainly because I found interesting things to photograph rather than having any wonderful artistic talent to be able to create something beautiful out of the very ordinary. I’ve never been able to do that. / / So that covers the travel, people and volcanoes, what about the fungi? Well, that’s just something that has been a passion of mine since I was a boy. I always loved searching for field mushrooms which were a popular meal in my family. Then, when I was a little older, I discovered magic mushrooms. I can’t say I liked eating them as they gave me a hell-of-a gut ache, but I loved searching for them and some of my friends were only to willing to take them off my hands. After I got my digital camera, and would go on bushwalks by myself I found that fungi actually made quite good subjects and there were many more varieties than just the grey or the golden ones. This became an excuse to go roaming around wet forests in Autumn and winter. / / Actually the photography is one big excuse to do what I love doing – travel, meeting people that seem so different but are really the same as us, climbing volcanoes and probably most of all, exploring the old growth forests of Australia and elsewhere. / / 2. What is your favourite subject? / Fungi – and volcanoes, and people, and – really anything that captures my imagination. I love macro photography because there are so many surprises and I love travel because it always stretches my imagination. 3. Volcanoes… which ones… why and how… how close have you been? / Not nearly as many as I would like. Krakatoa, Papandayan, Welirang, Bromo, Semeru, Keli Mutu all in Indonesia. Nyiragongo in Africa and Yasur in Vanuatu. Why? I happened to meet up with a couple of volcanologists who run volcano tours. First I traveled with them, and now I work with them – check it out http://www.volcanodiscovery.com/ Come along with me to climb 3 volcanoes (not too big) in Java in April or July. It’s a lot of fun and you get photo opportunities that even make me look good. Hope you don’t mind the plug. 4. What does quality mean to you? / An interesting question and I presume you are talking about photography. To me it means some real care and skill has gone into the production of the photograph rather than most of the effort into the marketing. It’s like seeing the difference between a David Attenborough documentary and the Funniest Home Videos. Both probably get similar ratings, but the Attenborough stuff is quality. Now some home movies are quality too, because the people who took them put in the effort to learn how to do it properly and have the talent to do it, even if they didn’t have the odd million or two to spend on the gear. I haven’t seen one of those on Funniest Home Videos. Quality isn’t anything to do with marketing. 5. Describe your love of nature… / Shit, describe it?. Nature is everything really. I think some people see man and nature as two separate things, but we are as much a part of it as the lions in Africa, or the fungi in a Tassie rainforest. I can’t understand how people can just stand by and allow so much to be destroyed, to gain so little. If we could bring back the Tasmanian Tiger I’m sure almost everyone would be overjoyed, but try to tell them that when the killed the last of them, We do know better now, but still we only seem to worry when the endangered species have big brown eyes like baby seals. It makes no sense to me. It’s like letting you fingers drop off because for just a moment you don’t need them.

For a long time now I have felt the need to create a social community based on my passion for the arts and photography with a focus on two things, Australia and Wildlife. As a practising artist and photographer and also being Australian I felt that there was a real gap for Australian artists to launch themselves, network locally and gain exposure to Australian facilities such as Galleries, Exhibitions, Retail outlets, online shops, self-publishing options, local photo shoots or sketching and painting classes, framers, suppliers, etc you get the idea. I would often see really good sites with similar aims but they are all in America and this is not advantageous in many ways for Australian artists. My vision for this Australian Wildlife Art Community “Oz Nature Niche” is for it to grow into something huge – a massive network of resources if you like but I can’t do it on my own. I have set this up so that members may join freely and contribute freely in any way they can. I think that if we can gather a pool of artists’ expertise, resources, stimulus, galleries, portfolios etc and then advertise the sight by using the badges available which we can embed into our own websites and blogs we can’t help but open up a larger audience. I have nearly 30, 000 visitors who have checked out my website so you can imagine that if the Nature Niche Badge is embedded on my site, it should generate a lot of interest and likewise when all members do the same. (You can see an example of a badge on my website.) I see it as a community which we will visit often and help each other out and I can’t count the hundreds of hours I have spent scouring the Internet for information on all of the previous things I have mentioned. After now doing it the hard way and bookmarking a lot about sites and blogs, finding out ways to design a website, the best online shops, how to self-publish a book, where to purchase matte boards and so on, why not share this knowledge with a community? Remember also, that it won’t cost you a cent, totally free – just your time and willingness to share in order to promote the arts in Australia. I only hope that you will share my vision and help this site grow as I think it has so many wonderful opportunities. If you join and you have your own, fresh ideas – things I haven’t condsidered then please let me know or start a new forum discussion in the relevant groups. What you will get for FREE if you join “Oz Nature Niche”:- your own personal page which is customisable with themes rss feeds and the ability to embed your own rss feed from your website or blog create your own gallery or portfolio, artist bio and resume, links to your other sites iincluding REDBUBBLE. your own blog with option to include pictures and create an rss feed of this blog join and create forums invite friends to your Group(s) join specialised Wildlife Groups within Oz Nature Niche such as Fine Artists, Photographers, Digital Artists, Manga Cartoon Illustration & Comics, Crafts Merchandise & Textiles critiques and constructive criticism of your work make friends and connect with fellow Australian artists ask for and give technical help and tips within your Group(s) add gadgets and widgets to your own personal page and Group page add videos including YouTube etc add music to your own page and group pages engage in Live Chat within all of the Groups in Oz Nature Niche lots of exposure, networking opportunities and marketing possibilites create a Badge to advertise Oz Nature Niche on your existing website and blog plus many more features still to come ….

Today this gallery reached the great marking point of 20 000 views for my 187 pictures here, while 135 of you have put it on their watchlist. I cannot count all comments or faves, but let me tell you that it all is a wonderful response for my work here! I came over here from deviantArt and am still running two galleries there, generally trying not to repeat myself too much. So I knew that starting a new gallery is quite an effort. But it was certainly worth it: your reactions have given me another great boost. While I still stay with my deviantArt galleries, as I do not want to give up the link with many friends which I have won there in three years, Redbubble has won a strong place of its own. And let me say it quite openly here. There are two things that I clearly prefer here. 1) The general quality of the submissions is much higher. 2) People do not fake about with their nature shots as much here as they do over there. Adding a little contrast, ok, but that is it in my view. The rest is nature´s beauty itself, but no artifying, beautifying, sexying up or whatever one may call it. This actually is the reason why I do not consider myself an artist. Nature is the artist, in its endless beauty and variety. I just try to do some good photography, snatching some bits of all the beauty of nature. I am extremely glad that so many of you appreciate this effort. Many, ever so many thanks for all your attention and wonderful reactions. Please forgive me that most of the times I do not manage to thank you personally. My gratitude is none the less.

This will be the the last journal entry I will be posting on redbubble. I just wanted to say thank you all again, your support has been very inspiring and overwhelming. I may be back someday, but for now my life has simply led me in a different direction. I will still maintain my Deviant art site as a test site for images before they are loaded as prints for purchase on my own domain. If you would like to keep up and see what I have been doing you are more than welcome to watch me there, do be advised it will not be the most up to date versions of my photos though: / http://benjamin-charles.deviantart.com My most current and purchasable prints will be most efficiantly and directly accessed through my new domain: / http://www.bcphotography.us On a final note a few friends and I made it into the Outdoor Photographer Natures Colors contest finals. I am not a competitive person at all really so I will advertise for everyone… I wish you all the best of luck, and am so proud to see all of us in there.
