UNSENSORED11: Exhibition of Analogue Photography

The Melbourne Silver Mine’s annual exhibition of analogue photography UNSENSORED is set to return to Collingwood Gallery on Friday November 25, 2011. And I am lucky enough to be showing three of my photographs in the exhibition!

UNSENSORED11 offers a glimpse into what film in its various formats can produce today. Once again the members of the Melbourne Silvermine Inc. are presenting a diverse range of images in both subject matter and tools/techniques. The exhibition includes images produced using traditional processes and techniques through to hybrid works that blur the line between film and digital.

If anyone is in Melbourne, the opening night is this Friday 25th November from 6pm.

Shutterbugs - Episode 7 - Stakeout

L-CA (Kodak BW400CN)

Diana F+ (Lomography 400CN)

Diana F+ (Lomography Redscale 100CN)

Diana Mini (Kodak BW400CN that had gone through an airport scanner)

These are a few of the photographs that were taken as a part of my contribution to the online comedy web series, Shutterbugs. The theme for my episode was 'Stakeout', so I decided to stake out the streets of Fitzroy with my L-CA, Diana Mini, Diana F+ and La Sardinia (& loads of film!).

You can view the new episode of Shutterbugs (& more of my stakeout photos) over at the Shutterbugs.tv website. (also while you're there you can catch an interview with yours truly about what I love about photography. *blushes*)

I would like to thank all the wonderful people who have put so much hard work into producing Shutterbugs, you were a pleasure to work with & I hope we can do it again sometime.

NYC Lomowalls

LC-A (Lomography X-Pro Chrome 100 film)

 Diana Mini (Kodak Portra 400 VC film)

 Fuji Instax 25 (Fuji Instax Mini film)

LC-A (Lomography 25-200 XR Redscale & X-Pro Chrome 100 films)

Sometimes a photograph by itself feels a little isolated, yet when you add more photographs it seems to strengthens the images. This is why I love making Lomowalls... sometimes you just want to display a spectrum of colour, a series of themes or you want to tell a story.

Long time no photo!

I know, it's been a long time between photos... I just wanted to reassure my lovely readers that I am in fact still alive, although for the last few weeks I have been buried under a pile of work and university work that I have only just been able to free myself from.

Sadly this also meant that I had to rest my shutter finger a little... somehow I still managed to shoot through a few films (but hardly enough). Luckily for me my holiday to New York City is only 3 short weeks away and many many many a film will be sacrificed in celebration.

Speaking of my NYC trip... if anyone has any tips for photo opportunities or places I should visit, then please let me know. I am also taking a day trip to Washington DC... photos of monuments ahoy!

I also have a new camera that I will be reviewing soon... until then I thought I'd share some of my favorite Lomowalls from over the past few weeks... you can click each one to see a larger version.

My excellent and amazing friends Gus & Lene were in town from Brisbane... 

much fun was had. (LC-A with Lomography 100 film)

A few of my old favorite black and white shots.
