I am very pleased and excited to announce my upcoming exhibition of landscape, nature and wilderness photographs from Antarctica, Iceland and New Zealand’s South Island at Source Photographica in Brighton Melbourne. The exhibition will open on the 20th of March 2012 and will run for a strictly limited time of two weeks. The exhibition includes a number of my personal favourite works from Iceland, the South Island of New Zealand and Antarctica. The exhibition includes multiple award winning photographs including: ‘Blue Berg‘ which won Gold at the 2011 APPA awards and was World Extreme Environment Photograph of the year People’s Choice 2011, ‘Well of Life‘ which won Silver at APPA 2011, GOLD at the International Loupe Awards and was a finalist in the World Extreme Environment Awards 2011, ‘Highway to Hell‘ which also won Silver at APPA 2011 and was both a semi-finalist in the 2011 Windland Smith Rice awards and travel photograph of the week at National Geographic magazine. All of the photographs were taken within the last three years and all are printed on my two favourite papers Moab Somerset Museum Rag and Moab Entrada Rag Natural. Source Photographica is located at 1A Rose Street in Brighton, Victoria, Australia and is open seven days a week. Entry is free. I hope you can make it and please drop me a line if you enjoyed it.

I am pleased to have been asked by the good folks who run and operate the Caffeinated Photographers Facebook page to be their Photographer of the Week this week. Upon receipt of the invitation my interest was immediately peaked by the use of the word ‘caffeinated’ in their title since I consider myself somewhat of an amateur coffee connoisseur. The morning cup of coffee is part of my indispensable daily routine and the interesting mix of caffeine and photography in their title gave me cause to smile since a cup of coffee is invariably the first thing I reach for on an early sunrise shoot. I am fortunate in Melbourne where I live that we have some of the world’s best coffee. Our reputation (at least in Australia) precedes us in this regard. I am doubly fortunate that Iceland (one of my favorite destinations for photography) also has outstanding coffee. The opportunity to be featured on a page that mixes Photography and caffeine was instantly appealing. Caffeinated photographers feature a different photographer every week and their list of photographers includes such well-known names as Art Wolfe. I am pleased to be counted amongst their photographers of the week.
