Check out this great episode of Australian Story, detailing the extraordinary historical photographs from the 1800’s of John William Lindt. These prints were purchased at auction for $100,000 in 2004 and were very generously donated to Grafton Regional Gallery. This collection is an absolute national treasure…

My most coveted job in the world is that of a man called Fortunato Foti, creative director of the Sydney New Year’s Eve fireworks (http://blogs.smh.com.au/radar/archives/2006/03/post_55.html). His name says it all! Since I can’t have his job, I’ll just create my own fireworks. This one’s for you dad, as we share the same love of fireworks. Happy father’s day! :)

An Australian native orchid. Not likely to feature in the current series, more of an experimental shot. I look forward to printing it though, the colours and tones would really suit a giclée print
