On Film {An Exhibition}

A step. A jump. A leap.

Each journey begins with a step outside your comfort zone and this one certainly is a huge leap for me and something rather close to my heart and this post is long overdue.I struggle to find the words to express what I want to say a lot of the time until it comes out in one big heap, like an explosion of thought, and so it is the same with this. I’ve always wanted to be a part of an exhibition, to showcase work that means something to me and hopefully to others and that’s exactly what I get to do next Tuesday at the Salerno Gallery in Glebe.

I, along with Tony Peri, Jeff Leaming & Jack Chauval will be exhibiting a series of images all shot on film. I’m nervously excited for the night and I can’t wait to see it all come together.

You can find all the lovely information about the exhibition and the other photographers HERE and if you’re in Sydney stop by, see some wonderful work and say hello.

Opening Night:

Tuesday 24th January, 6:30-8:30pm
Salerno Gallery
70 Glebe Point Road, Glebe NSW

Goodbye 2011 {Hello 2012}

As I get older the years seem to fly by at increasing speeds. I don’t know whether that’s just a part of growing older or a part of starting a small business, but whatever it is, I’d prefer them to slow down just a little bit. If this is the pace at which they’re going now, I shudder to think of the blur they will be in a five or even ten years time. I’m the type of person that just looks to what’s next, that I rarely stop to look at all the things that have happened.This combined with the speediness of the past year and I don’t feel like I’ve had a chance to reflect on all that has happened. That’s actually one of my 2012 New Year’s resolutions, to stop, enjoy and reflect on everything that’s happening.

It wasn’t until I sat down at my computer looking through the images from the last year that I was struck by an overwhelming sense of warmth. To be surrounded by so many amazing couples, such wonderful friends & family and so much love on a weekly basis… I didn’t realise how amazingly fortunate I was and I’m so grateful to have gotten to know each and every one of you in the last year and I’m so excited for the amazingness that 2012 will bring.

The images below are a collection of images that represent the warmth of 2011 and tell the story of the year that was. Thank you all for your love, your support and your friendship.

michelle and adrian {love}

One of my favourite things is seeing how people interact, I love watching the little moments when people think you’re not paying attention. Moments of sweetness and tenderness that show a lot more than saying anything. Michelle & Adrian are the sweetest couple that I could gush for hours about, but instead I’ll leave you with some photos form the lovely afternoon I got to spend with them.
