Looking back at my teaching, shooting, competing, exhibiting and learning of the past year.
Now let's see what we can cram into 2023. 😊

Looking back at the photography year that was.

I bought a new camera... and it's not a Nikon (aka joining the X-community).

A change is as good as a holiday.

The value of 'mistakes'.

Your bad images are the compost for future work.

Stoked to see my skinscape triptych featured in the Art Photography category of Australian Capture magazine's end of year "Annual" edition (a "celebration of the best and most inspiring images shot over the last 12 months").
Unfortunately the print version of the mag is not available in NZ, but at least I was able to get my hands on a digital copy. :)

What an honour to again be the official photographer at the Royal Society Te Apārangi Research Honours event in Dunedin - photographing some of the leading minds and top scientists across Aotearoa.

We were thrilled to present more 2022 Research Honours Aotearoa medals and awards in Ōtepoti Dunedin last night.

The Dunedin Study led by Prof Richie Poulton FRSNZ, with team members Prof Murray Thomson FRSNZ from University of Otago, and Prof Terrie Moffitt and Professor Avshalom Caspi from Duke University won the Rutherford Medal for the 50-year-old longitudinal study that has given countless insights into the human condition.

Six other medals and awards were presented

2022 has probably been my busiest year on the photo awards and exhibitions front - I entered a number of Awards (NZIPP - the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography National Iris Awards, The Mono Awards, Feilding and District Art Society Art Awards) and exhibited as part in the inaugural Foto Fest Hastings.

Still have the 2022 Asia Pacific Photography Awards to come - entries close 1 December., so will have to make the call soon on whether to enter something this year or not...

Me going on a bit of a verbal meander about photography competitions and teaching and the importance of celebrating simplicity in photography (and art in general).

Pursuing the holy grail of seemingly uncontrived simplicity.

Life after Meta, aka taking a step sideways off the social media superhighway.
