Our French exhibition at International Foto Biennale in Ballarat.
Things have been moving very fast lately!
We got into the Ballarat International Foto Biennale Fringe Festival. Very excited and the Biennale is just terrific to look thru.
The Festival finishes 4th October 2009. Our exhibition is called “A Feeling of France…” it is not a a traditional landscape travelogue. It covers images from Paris, The Avignon (Drama) Festival and the nearby Provence area.
The images have soft pastel colours and are printed on beautiful fine art paper.
The reaction of visitors has been very exciting.
Please come along and say high its open 7 days 11am till 5pm.

Autumn Wedding at Monsalvat
Monsalvat offers some amazing opportunities for location photographs but the short winter day (and the bride ran late as well!) meant I had to work hard for the wedding photography! Love going to that historic venue!
Pier Hotel wedding
New Docklands wedding locations
I have really enjoyed the last few weddings. On the day we had a beautiful Spring warmth to the air.
We visited Albert Park Lake, had a great walk (and fun photo session). We then found some new locations around the Docklands area. Old warehouses and new contemporary locations.
I have an apology to make. We are in the peak season now, photographing 4 days per week and doing a lot of interesting work. I will try to pop new stuff on whenever I can fit it in.

Paris, Avignon, Provence Sabbatical
European Sabbatical!
I have been very busy during the last two months and have been unable to keep up the blogging news. So much has been happening.
We photographed several weddings in June & a range of high quality portrait sittings. See our new work at www.KidsofMelbourne.net.au
Our wedding site (www.melbourmephotography.com.au) is in process with a new look coming out soon.
We went to Europe for our sabbitical for July for 4 weeks. Very exciting. Lots of art history and photo exploration for me. We visited Paris and photographed a project there.
Then down to Avignon (southern France) and the avant garde festival there. It is an amazing walled city and the festival is just hyper. They have the main official festival (the On Festival) and then the fringe that is huge (the Off Festival). I concentrated on the vibrant streetscapes.
Then thru Provence with its earthy teracotta villages interspersed thru the lavender and rolling vineyards. The very cute shop fronts & lanes were special.
The third project and the main project was the Cinque Terre area in italy. Its a wonderful and preserved collection of coastal villages, not wrecked by new resort development. I am still working thru the images. I will get a sample in my next posting.
Very exciting trip and inspiring. Visiting several studios in Europe was reinforcing for how well we are doing it at our studio.
I have two exhibitions coming up this year and early next. Keep well.
