On December 5th this year 2019, my exhibition of Emperor Penguin photographs from Antarctica in conjunction with Paul Murrays Namibian work will move from Camaguey in Cuba and will open in Santiago de Cuba. Opening starts at 3 PM with the ANTIPODAS exhibition at the Galeria del Centro Cultural Francisco Prat Puig, a historic and widely used cultural centre. The exhibition will be remain in Santiago de Cuba before it moves onto Havana early next year.
In some exciting news, I recently learned that one of my photographs from APPA this year (READ the Round Up) has been selected to represent Australia in the World Photographic Cup Nature category. This is the second time one of my photographs has been chosen to represent Australia in this prestigious competition. Last time it was the reportage category with one of my photographs taking out the Bronze Medal. I cant as yet share which photograph has been selected – but will do so as soon as I am able.
The WPC was founded in 2013 as a cooperative effort by The Federation of European Photographers (FEP) and Professional Photographers of America (PPA). Its singular goal is to unite photographers in a spirit of friendship and cooperation. A Governing Committee has been created to conduct the ongoing affairs of the competition, also supported by UAPP (United Asian Professional Photography) and AIPP (Australian Institute of Professional Photography). The brotherhood and sisterhood of photography is a bond that transcends language, culture, and geography. That’s the foundation behind the World Photographic Cup, an one of a kind international team competition. Sure, there are lots of other competitions, but there is just one World Photographic Cup.

This year at PhotoPlus in New York Moab and Legion paper featured one of my Emperor Penguin photographs from my 2018 expedition (Read the Trip Report). Printed on Somerset Museum Rag paper in 20″ x 30″ this paper remains my absolute favourite and go to paper for all my printing. I was unable to attend in person this year due to my travel commitments in Cuba and upcoming travel in Mongolia; but am hoping to be in attendance and speaking at the show in 2020.
Tomorrow I will be headlining the Melbourne Portrait conference as the keynote speaker. I will be speaking and presenting on Wildlife portrait photography at 9.30am until 11am.

On my last day in Cuba (just moments before I left for the airport) I was interviewed at the gallery on the Antipodas exhibition for Cuba Camaguey Television. A short of the interview has been published today. You might need to brush up on your Spanish…
