Kindy Fundraiser and Mini-Sessions

Just Spent the last couple of weeks working on my annual Kindy Fundraiser at Jesse Brown Pre-Kindy. Had the best conversations with the gorgeous little people...some of who assured me they were 71/2 not 3 and am recovering from neckache caused by "Bonaparte" (my helper) jumping off my head 20 times a day! Every year the kids are so refreshing and enjoyable to photograph and thanks to Jackie and her team for being so well organised and making my job a breeze

For the Parents and Siblings from Jesse Brown I will be offering Mini-Sessions on Saturday 10th Oct and Sun 25thOct ....consisting of a half-hour mini-shoot at Brownhill Creek.

Please Contact me at crackerjack@internode.on.net to book your place

South Australian Bodypainting Championship

Well what a Fantastic and very Hectic time the last couple of months has been

A trip to Melbourne to be tutored by some of the best in the business like Jerry Ghionis and Montellbetti and Campbell

A Visit or two from Tim Gratton and Suzie for the most amazing Bodypainting workshops and ending up with the First SA Bodypainting Champs...

Shotz beoing transformed into a very cool Studio and Gallery space

And my exhibition ... which was a lot of work but worth every minute...

I got to photograph some very amazing artwork by some equally immpressive artists and all in all I feel like I'm finally moving in the direction I want to which is the Collaboration of Art and Photography

Yay

The Busy Month of June

Well its been a Event filled Month with 2 Birthdays, a Drama Trip to Singapore (not me unfortunately), Mitcham Quiz Night, Art Party and a lot of Web orientated work to fill in the somewhat quiet on the photographic front month. Have managed to squeeze in some great shoots which I will put up next...July will be even busier with the buildup for SALA and getting all finialized in preparation for my exhibition and the first SA Bodypainting Champs at Shotz!

Print Awards

Had a Great day at AAPP Print Awards today and went home with 5 silvers which I'm stoked about. Had a great lecture by Paul Aitkins about keeping up to date with blogs (so here I am) and twitter, and facebook etc etc. "Bubbles" caused a bit of controversy which I thought it might but it went well anyway. Should be a bit easier to pick some for the National Awards in July.

Thrilled to get an invite to exhibit work in the Audi Scotch Art Exhibition taking place this weekend in the Scotch Chapel. The works chosen are "The Mindshade Trilogy" and "Light of the Deep". If they go I'll have to get busy replacing them as the walls are looking a little bare without them! If they don't Danielle will be very pleased!!
