I had the opportunity to shoot the acting legend Jack Thompson recently and had this half arsed idea of recreating that famous Cleo Centerfold 40 years on…

but something in his eyes told me that it was not on!

This is the trailer to his cracking Australian road movie ” Wake in Fright ” , I’m glad to say that not much has changed up here!

You can easily replace filmmaker with photographer…hang around for the Pie Chart its a classic.

The National Indigenous Music Awards were held in Darwin over the weekend and as per usual it was the Gurrumul Yunipingu show, with the man from Elcho Island taking out 4 gongs… with the Warumpi Band the highlight for me, they were fully sick.
I was shooting officially but had a small studio set up off stage for taking portraits of anyone who took my fancy…with that Joe McNally soft box I just got shipped in…I’m liking the look , any thoughts you mob?
