Well, it has been a crazy wedding season....and it is not finished yet!  Here is a sneak peak at Aaron and Nikki's recent wedding at the beautiful Saint David's Cathedral in Hobart. * * More photographs coming soon * *

We have moved! We are now based in beautiful Hobart town in Tasmania......and we are just loving it.  Check out what God prepared for us from our balcony.  Stunning isn't it! 

(And yes - don't worry - interstate enquiries are still warmly welcomed as always!)

It was a great way to begin 2010 - with both Silver and Bronze awards in the recent International Aperture Awards! Hooray! You can check out the Gold award talent by visiting their website here.

Where has the year gone?!! I have been so busy these last few months I haven't been able to share any projects here on the blog - Sorry! I'll start by sharing our little star 'child' Poppi.  She gives my husband Graham and I great joy at the end of a busy day with her impish ways and green bean catching abilities. I not so recently acquired a new tool for my tool kit and instead of chasing poor Graham around to trial my new lens (the usual situation), I followed our dear little Poppi.  She was a great sport who beamed all her usual cheekiness so I just had to share them! :)  For kitty lovers I have a 2010 calendar available which you can check out here.

More soon on recent portrait shoots, weddings and other projects that don't fit in the usual categories....

We all need a bit of fun and silliness in our lives!  Whimsical dreams of fun and silliness always feature in the work of German photographer Jan Von Holleben.  The adventures his photographs will take you on is the most important element of his work, not the final product.  The viewer must use their imagination and memories of their own childhood experiences to complete the picture.  In Dreams of Flying (2002-08) Holleben works with children in exploring what it is to fly.  There is real joy in their faces, as they really ‘live out’ their dreams.   There isn't any attempt to disguise the rubbish bin 'mountains'; digital technology hasn't glossed over them, transforming them into the Grand Canyon. The audience is left to imagine the rest.  Check out his web site for more from this series and also many other crazy projects like Superheros (2007), You Count 10, I Run (2004-07) and Great Masters (2007-09).

My time at university has come to an end! After seven years of studying part time a Bachelor of Contemporary Art at Deakin University it is finally completed. Here are some images from the final collaborative unit, where I worked with five talented artists (from a range of disciplines) and together we created the installation piece; See Me Crumple. 

From the program; "See Me Crumple is an immersive play space reminiscent of the carnival fun house. This collaboration of artistic mediums threads together the virtual and physical to generate a fantasy world where nothing is quite as it seems, but everything is what you make of it."

On show 15-18th of October, 2009 as part of "Framed 01" at Deakin University Phoenix Theatre Foyer, Burwood, Victoria. 

Many thanks to fellow group members - Ren Flannery, Tracie Crockford, Sara Miracola, Sarah Long and Tanya-Sue Uscinas.  (Watch out for these names!!)

This was a fun shoot from a couple of weeks ago - thankfully the paint wasn't too cold for Nikki! Check out the work of face and body artist Lynne Jamieson - FaceMagic - for more information on body art experiences. Thanks again Nikki for letting me be apart of yours!

Hello!

I would like to show you some little snippets of recent projects on the run, as well as images that get me excited.   Yes, I can easily get carried away with the delight that some pictures give and thought it would be nice to share with you too.

Thanks for reading......I am not an artist of words by any means so I will say very little - but please visit again to take a look!

Jess
