FUSIONartPHOTOGRAPHY.com Feature artist for the GROUP:EXPERIMENTAL PHOTOGRAPHY and EDITING. This creation is about my return to Melbourne after eight exciting and event filled years living in Japan and China . Regular trips home to see family and friends had not really prepared me for that emotional roller coaster ride that many experience after the conclusion of an overseas assignment. / Initially, when living in countries where the language is foreign ,one delves deep inside oneself and adjusts by becoming more observant to compensate. The experience is beyond description. / Upon returning home ones’ city has become a mystery. Eye contact/ a smile meant so very much in the re-adjustment period as after such a long period away ,one really belongs nowhere and maybe the heart will always now remain in 3 places and so we have “Mysterious Melbourne” / “ A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” / Essence of Ancient Wisdom/ Asia

FUSIONartPHOTOGRAPHY.com Feature Artist for the GROUP:EXPERIMENTAL PHOTOGRAPHY and EDITING Feature Artist for the GROUP:EXPERIMENTAL So much can and should be said about women. Every woman in the world must make a difference. We must continue to educate ourselves/everyday we must set a new challenge. Women are the backbone of the family/we also have a right to an education/a right to dignity. I have always struggled with the wonder of how women juggle their busy lives and not sure what the answer is. We will always be responsible for bringing children into the world/be always concerned but even with babe in arms and out of the work force /whatever age/we have an important role to play/we are an integral cog in the wheel/we must continue to make a difference…...read ….read/educate online/involve ourselves in community/council/politics/ business. Gaining knowledge is like climbing Fuji san….....start out with nothing but hopes and dreams in your heart /half way up the mountain you will look back and think how did I ever do this/but every step of learning is a mind growing more powerful. Then the responsiblity is to use this power/knowledge gained in a way to benefit our world. Nothing is impossible and everything possible if we work together. When I create I have no one in mind particularly so please do not take offence. It is just that everywhere I go I meet amazing women and always my mind is filled with questions. /

This image was photographed at the waterfront in the OLD TOWN of DUBROVNIK/CROATIA Judged by Tuck Leong at Melbourne Camera Club/open EDI/Highly Commended Death in Dubrovnik…............ well WHAT did happen to…..........BRITT LAPTHORNE this title has to do with the complexities of a missing girl…..... For those who live outside Australia you maybe interested to know that BRITT LAPTHORNE/ 21-year-old Melbourne woman went missing from a nightclub in the Croatian town of Dubrovnik on September 18. Her body was found many days later washed up near rocks not far from the city centre. Last year I was fortunate enough to visit this wonderful city of DUBROVNIK…...........I felt I had found paradise and had been told this was a most magical place to take photographs. And yes/ I had found paradise and started to wonder about the war here in ‘91 /Death in Dubrovnik…...and then I started to think about this beautiful young woman taken tragically away from her family. I walked the streets of the Old City and surrounds for nearly a week.The more I thought about her the more I wanted to find out about her and so sat in a local internet cafe and tried to read as much as possible about her. So this only made me think more about this young woman and how her family must have felt at the time .So then as I walked the streets every crack in the old walls /every crack in the pavement I photographed /I asked myself did she walk this way….........did she see the beauty I was seeing….... / This image was taken in Dubrovnok and is of the Fuego Latino Club where BRITT LAPTHORNE visited the night she died……..........well some locals say she did visit the club and some say she didn’t! These images were taken from a 4th fl. balcony overlooking the nightclub. I watched for about 15 minutes. It would be impossible for this young woman’s exit from the nightclub to go undetected by the camera. I wonder why Britt’s parents could not see their daughter exit the club when they watched the film footage from that night…...... / this image was taken at the small port in the OLD TOWN of Dubrovnik/this image is not meant to offend but something did happen to this young woman…...... .............sometimes we don’t know what we’re looking for….......this image was taken at a hotel on the outskirts of Dubrovnik.The puzzle and anguish of this mystery can be too much for a family to experience…......... I’m going to tell you what’s on my mind! / looking for answers
HERALD SUN/23rd Feb/’09 Did it take 6 SIX days for investigators to tell Dale and Elke that their daughter was missing…......Wasted time…...precious evidence lost/added suffering! / Yes/there was a delay in Dubrovnik…...the delay in Dubrovnik most concerning. Yes/also a delay with the Australian Government agencies…...so it is said! The parents of Britt Lapthorne want changes to privacy laws . Senator Fielding wants to change this…..... BRITT’S BILL would change the legislation and make it possible for families to be contacted as soon as a loved one vanishes overseas. PLEASE go to the PETITION online and help make this legislation take place www.stevefielding.com.au www.stevefielding.com.au www.stevefielding.com.au www.stevefielding.com.au www.stevefielding.com.au www.stevefielding.com.au www.stevefielding.com.au www.stevefielding.com.au www.stevefielding.com.au www.stevefielding.com.au For those who live outside Australia you maybe interested to know that BRITT LAPTHORNE/ 21-year-old Melbourne woman went missing from a nightclub in the Croatian town of Dubrovnik on September 18. Her body was found many days later washed up near rocks not far from the city centre./’08 **HERALD SUN 25th feb/’09 The latest news here in Australia this morning is that the parents of BRITT LAPTHORNE have been told they are NOT to investigate/dive in DUBROVNIK/CROATIA….... It is still a crIme scene! The ocean is a crime scene. These parents only want answers. Is this not a parent’s RIGHT!! They will not rest until they have answers! Only answers will bring peace of mind and help others to avoid such REDTAPE in the future. If the waters of DUBROVNIK are too cold maybe they could spend the time chatting casually to the wonderful locals. Less expensive and probably more informative and their english very good!
