I woke up yesterday morning and took out the garbage from under the kitchen sink and proceeded to put the garbage in our outside bin.  That's when I came across this guy.  I believe he is called a Golden Orb spider and is not a particularly venomous spider.  The colours are amazing. If you look carefully you can see little water droplets on the spider.  This is the time where I wish I had a macro lens in my arsenal.  This was taken with a 50mm lens and worked through in photoshop.  Let me know what you think.



Golden Orb and friend.

Cabaret in a box: Tales and songs of Brissie life

I had the please of taking pictures for Cabaret in a box by the wonderful Jenny Wynter for the Anywhere Theatre Festival  It was funny and wonderful and it really made my night.  She had some very special guests.  The first one was Belinda Raisin.  Who's song about past and future loved pets was brilliant.  The next performer and her wonderful Marianna Joslin.  Manic and acrobatic.  What a performance.  The last special guest.....or guests was the sublime Betty and the Betties.  Singing songs about past loves and breakups.  Here are the photo's.

Moon by The Australian Voices May 9th 2013

The Anywhere Festival is on.  I've been asked to photograph the festival.  I went to a rehearsal for Moon by The Australian Voices in a very bare room in Paddington and was blown away.  I was really excited for opening night.  I was so moved by what was happening on stage that at one moment I actually forgot to take pictures.  I was so involved in the music.  Luckily I came to my senses and starting taking pictures. 

I learned a few things......I wore a white shirt and black dress pants.  As a photographer my job is to walk around and capture the moment while not drawing attention to myself and to make sure I am not a distraction to the paid audience.  Wearing a white shirt does not help that.  In the future I will wear all black.  I also wore dress shoes which meant I couldn't move around very well and my feet started to hurt after a couple hours of standing. 

Anyway....here are the photos from that night.

The Anywhere Festival

A friend of mine sent me a message about the Brisbane Anywhere Festival.  The Festival showcases artists such as singers, actors and comedians.  They put out a call for Photographers to take pictures of some of the events.  I emailed them and I have now been included as one of the festivals official photographers.  My passion is music and I have booked 3 performances so far and I am still waiting to hear back from another. 

The performances I have booked are:  The Australian Voices present Moon

Belladiva presents Aria Moderna

Cabaret in the box - Tales and songs of Brissie life
