I suppose they dont necessarily need to be old with time photos but just ones that have been forgotten and then stumbled across again. After high school I adored photographing the local DanceSport events on a trusty Pentax K1000 film camera. I certainly didnt have a good hit rate if the overall clarity and sharpness was judged alone however the photographs did have a lovely soft romantic feel about them. I hope you like the eclectic mix below 2010-7-16T00:00:00Z http://www.jessicaking.com.au/page10.htm#69366 The final wedding of the season was certainly a beautiful one Megan and Ben wed on a chilly Hobart day one filled with the lovely golden reminders of autumn. They were certainly brave planning it for this time of the year especially now being Queensland residents Everything was carefully planned right down to the groomsmens socks......well sort of. The cheeky groom Ben ensured he had these covered and surprised his lovely wifetobe at the alter revealing a glow of yellow socks They exchanged vows at St Davids Cathedral where Megans Parents too were married followed by the reception at the Cascade Brewery and Visitors Centre. Congratulations again Megan and BenMore photographs will be uploaded soon UPDATE Check out Megan and Bens highlight gallery here. 2010-7-2T00:00:00Z http://www.jessicaking.com.au/page10.htm#68464 I couldnt help myself I had to share some of the gorgeous kittys we met on the weekend at the Hobart Cat Show Please excuse the haziness in some they were all resting inside their wire cages as I snapped away.This little one must be a relative of our little Poppi Cat she is a British Short Hair kitten too How cute is she 2010-6-21T00:00:00Z http://www.jessicaking.com.au/page10.htm#66046 Meet Venus. She is a lovely but cheeky guide dog intraining currently being cared for by Katrina and Danny in Hobart. It will soon be time for her to further her education and then head off to care for a blind person in need. A portrait or petrait to remember her sad but caring puppy dog eyes was a must Here is a snippet of our play in the park. 2010-5-25T00:00:00Z http://www.jessicaking.com.au/page10.htm#63748 Kathryn and Allan were blessed with a beautiful sun soaked day for their garden wedding down at South Arm. Their day flew by quicker than any other I have shot. This may have had something to do with all the laughs we had in the gardens on the beach on the gorgeous ship the Windward Bound and the trip across the Derwent River on the TonOFun to the reception. Phew What a day Congratulations guysMore photographs can be found here. 2010-4-25T00:00:00Z http://www.jessicaking.com.au/page10.htm#63695 Tomorrow Sunday the 25th of April is a day to remember the brave soldiers for ANZAC day but also it is World Pin Hole day After your early start tomorrow morning rustle up a quick pin hole camera get snapping then scan and upload them for the the world to see Why not combine the two and record the parade if the sun is up and shining bright.

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 1518th of October 2009 as part of Framed 01 at Deakin University Phoenix Theatre Foyer Burwood Victoria.
