Grong Grong Creative House

I recently attended an art exhibition. you could say it was a little different than most. It wasn't your average exhibition in big open spaces with the works attached to the walls, and there was no fancy wines wither. this goes to say, it was one of the best exhibitions iv been to. It consisted of six local and visiting artists who spent a week living and creating artworks in the Grong Grong motor Inn. Each one of the six artists rooms where transformed into works that represented them. 

The pearce Family

A few weeks ago I photographed this lovely family. Our aim was to create something different and fun, compared to the everyday family photo. I will have to say it was fun. A huge thanks to Lyndall, Brendan and Fraiser for the great time.

Spending the day with these kids is truly an amazing opportunity. despite the little they have, they are the most happiest people I have ever met. Here are some of the kids from one of the local village primary schools.

This image I took this morning in another local village. Myself sitting in the creek while it was poring rain to get this shot, but it was worth it.

This one i took at a waterfall, one hour trek up hill from the village.

  

Fiji People.

Here are a few more photos. These where taken at a local school, 1.5 hours inland.

"Lonely Crows"

Photographing this small band called the Lonely Crows was on my shot list for the local paper I regularly photography for. I turned up to the gig with the camera the Nikon d90 I usually am supplied with and soon turned around and drove home to get my gear after wanting to photograph these guys a lot more than I planned. Returning, with my D300s and its best friend, 50mm 1.4 I stated shooting away, soon realising myself photographing to the rhythm of the music. Which for you other photographers might have experienced a few times before.

I also had on me, my latest toy. The GoPro hero 3 Black. This was a great opportunity to test it out.  photos and video from the GoPro, a little scroll down.
