Song for the weekend: The XX - Basic Space. Loving this album.

A few things happening:

I have 4 pieces going into the Brunswick St Gallery group show ‘Picture This’ in a few weeks. Show runs 11-24 Sep and the opening/prizes are on 18 Sep, if you want to take a peek.

This week my Holga gallery got a mention over on Take Nothing But Polaroids, which is a fantastic photography blog devoted to all things lo-fi. Sophie posts some great stuff, so check it out. She’s also running an awesome disposable camera swap project, which I’m on-board with (Laura, you will dig this.)

Aaaand of course, some photos. Adios!

BSG small works show is over and done with now, have to go pick up the shots this week. Didn’t win or sell anything, but that’s no big. Winners are here, shit photo of my entries is below. The one on the left is already promised to a colleague, the others are up for grabs if anyone wants ‘em.

Colour Factory/CCP award is also done. Didn’t win, no big. Haven’t got the set I submitted anywhere handy, unfortunately. 10 shots, all B&W, outdoors, at night & candid. Statement was a bit a of a spiel about how memories and photos are linked, might post it up someday.

I broke my 50mm prime last week, which sucks. Was walking along and the strap got caught on a bench, ripped the camera out of my hand. Lucky it’s a cheap lens and I’m only out about $150, but still nothing to sneeze at.

Latest photo challenge is on over at Stencil Rev.

Kings Way out today. Picking mine up tomorrow hopefully.

Monday night had a few wines and pig&pea soup with Joe, Caz, Tess & Ben, and hooked up the projector to a laptop & WACOM tablet. A lot of fun & got some great shots, below is one of my faves. Projection is my dad about 20 years ago… he barely looks a day older. The dude has some serious Dorian Gray shit going on.

Time for a blunt & bed… worked 35 hours in the last 3 days. Ciao kids.

Just finished uploading my submission for the small works group show at Brunswick St Gallery, kicks off on Friday. I’d actually put the deadline in my calendar wrong, so it was a bit of a rush job today when Laura gave me the heads up.

I’m submitting 3 diptychs, and they’re mostly comprised of things I’ve shown around before. The name/theme of the set is ‘Abandonment Issues’, which will become clear when you see the shots. Once I have the prints and I’ve mounted them properly, I’ll post some pics of the full set.
