Came across this beautiful footage shot by US photographer/videographer Sean Stiegmeier of the unpronounceable volcano in Iceland responsible for the Big Airport Kefuffle.
Had the opportunity to shoot a fairly intense rehearsal session for local Melbourne band The Valiants last week.
The good thing about living in Melbourne is that there are very few suburbs suffering from the sort of urban decay that you find in some European and North American cities.
With digital video cameras becoming more and more sophisticated there's an argument that, when it comes to sports coverage, still photography will soon be obsolete.
There are some truly remarkable places to work in this world but few opportunities to really see them up close. Corey Arnold is a Photographer who has worked for most of his adult life as a commercial fisherman and his images of life onboard these ships are powerful and frightening but also shot through with humour.
Taking a superbly trained eye to consumer culture we have US photographer Brian Ulrich.
Shamelessly cross-posted from Scott Hanson's blog iso50 we have Swedish sculptor and installation artist Michael Johansson.
I Ffffound British photographer John Short not long ago and discovered that as well as a collection of vivid commercial still life images he also has a great collection of landscape photographs.
I was born when this music video was the high water mark for computer graphics and I've watched as 3D modeling software evolved to allow for astounding photorealistic images and animation.
I held off posting these photos because I didn't want to inadvertently promote the Star Wars exhibit at Melbourne's Scienceworks. But it's finished now so there's no danger of that.
Today marks the 18th anniversary of the Santa Cruz massacre.
The median age in Australia is 37. In Timor Leste it is 21. More than one third of the population are under the age of 14. Many of these children have been orphaned by disease and war.
Some of the Children from Zumalai and the surrounding district of Cova Lima on the south coast of Timor Leste.
Last week I got back from the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste. Here are some of my traveling companions.
After 16 years Melbourne band The Lucksmiths have parted company. Their last few shows were at the corner hotel where they went back over 11 albums and picked out the crowd favourites. The Lucksmiths never get a lot of airplay but they had a great great number of nostalgic little songs about Melbourne celebrating domesticity and relationships.
More shots from the VCA rally through Melbourne yesterday. I don't think the stills really do justice the theatrics of the students so I'll upload some video over the next couple of days as well. Geoffrey Rush gave a wonderfully impassioned speech about the importance of arts education and practical acting training before the rally started and you can see the first half of it here.
Students from Victorian College of the Arts staged a rally in Melbourne yesterday to protest the proposed changes to curriculum and cutbacks on teaching staff and courses.
I thought I'd post something up about my favourite photographic ad campaign this year. US photographer Dustin Humphrey has shot a series of surreal composites of surf action shots and underwater still-lifes for surf brand Insight. the campaign involved building elaborate beatnik set pieces off the coast of Bali above and below sea level. The campaign took out the Sony World Photography Award for commercial advertising.
In the evening I'm starting to feel like I have a monumental hangover. Which is a marked improvement over what I was feeling at the start of the day.
In 2008 I went to East Timor with some volunteers from my high school to install an electrical system for a school in a village called Zumalai on the south coast. We brought over some tools and electrical equipment and I brought back a few words in Tetum and a cute little tropical parasite.
