For those who haven’t noticed, we’ve returned from six days in upper New South Wales (NSW) and some parts of Queensland (QLD), Australia. It was a lot of fun, and my wife and I were able to escape the hot weather of Adelaide to enjoy the wet yet humid days of the East side of Australia. Primarily it was to attend my grandfather’s 21st birthday (before you ask “What the…?”, think about what year it is and what date it was at the end of February), but I was able to spend some time photographing some amazing locations. I’m tagging all my uploads as nswmarch2008 to make it easy to locate them, plus their description fields will outline where and what. I have chosen around 125, but I expect to only upload around 25-50. It’s always the way, you think a shot is terrific … but the truth comes out when carefully scrutinising the final result. Here are all the locations we were able to visit: Bleekers Arboretum / This was a great location with amazing foliage and flowers. I don’t think I saw the whole place, we only stayed a few hours. I hope to return within the next 12-18months. Read more about all three images in consecutive manipulation Crystal Castle ( Crystalight ) / We got a little lost trying to locate this mesmorizing tourist attraction so I had a few short opportunities to shoot local architecture, street signs, letter boxes, and other features. We crossed a concrete bridge that had water shooting out one side, but you couldn’t see where it came from on the other … really weird. / On the return journey we found a wide part of the one-lane road to stop to capture some creative angles of this wooden garage door . Expect to see some more images of this that certainly step outside my usual style! Casino Royal Revolving Restaurant, QLD (for Opa’s birthday). / I shot some amazing photographs from the 26th floor, but I’m undecided on uploading to Redbubble. Plus various beaches, cliffs, peninsula’s and other geographical locations around Lismore, Fingal Head, Broken Head Beach and Minyon Falls , all in Upper NSW. The irony of it all is the contrast of weather patterns. We rarely saw sunlight on the Sunshine Coast, whereas Adelaide’s usually grey-days were stinking hot. (And I’ve come back to a 34 degrees celsius day. Joy of Joys.) Just keep looking for my work tagged nsw_march2008 . BTW, The World is Getting Too Small! 1. Whilst visiting an open garden in upper NSW last week, I was asked by a guy at the gate if I put my work on Redbubble.com. I laughed and wrote my pseudonym in the visitors book. I have now met a Redbubbler in the flesh. 2. On the flight back to Adelaide I purchased Volume 30 Edition 8 (Feb 28-April 2 2008) of BRW. Redbubble.com is mentioned on page 58 as part of an article entitled “Caught in the Web 2.0”. Actually quite an informative and interesting article. 3. Ten minutes ago (around 1.30pm, 4th March 2008) a representative from a roof-sealing company knocked on the door. After discussing a few options, I agreed for him to have my name to call back in 12 months time, saying “It’s OK, I’ll be famous soon.” (Said with tongue-in-cheek and a hearty laugh). He asked why. I said I am a photographer, I sell my work on the internet. He asked “Redbubble?” .... Needless to say, we had a good laugh. The world is getting far too small… Or Redbubble is getting very very popular?

Well I’m contributing some works to Raw Convergence 2009 – an exhibition at the Art Factory Gallery in Brisbane, Australia starting 6pm May 8th – May 13th. This is my shortlist. I had to drop one shot as it didn’t print incredibly well and I need another colour shot. Note the bigger one in the middle, this is my feature and will be 30×20. So if anyone wants to comment on these and tell me if you like the combination and maybe suggest another colour shot (where the red rectangle is), then that would be awesome!
