Workshop series
Capturing character by North Sullivan


A Sunday afternoon at North Sullivan's studio where a posse of photographers spent the day shooting a beautiful model, learning and sharing the secrets of capturing character in our subjects. With the right ingredients we all learned, laughed and deliberated on our work. This was the final of a four-part series with photographer North and I learned a great deal. Below is a slide show of my images from the day...

Melbourne Laneway Art
Flinders Lane


I visited Melbourne for a medical conference 25 to 27 July, 2008. As soon as it ended, Cyndi and I headed out to photograph some of the fabulous street art for which Melbourne is developing a worldwide reputation. The Melbourne Laneway Commission combines the history of the city and art into one consumable, ephemeral experience. It examines the way that space and environment affects the artwork; artists pick their locations and materials. A positive result is that Melburnians who might not otherwise visit a gallery, get to experience art firsthand.
