brighton beach....

brighton beach......

i captured that....



True west and photographing actors is my favourite thing.....

......

i guess i am not in the mood to say how this makes me feel.... but its usually a sad place. I went and stayed up on a property with friends and it was during one of the hardest times i was having with my anxiety..... it was good to go away and breathe some country air..... i thought id have this feeling forever, but with time it slowly went away and for that i am ever so thankful....

GRETA - by George Kemp


From the company that brought you the successful seasons of The Nutcracker at CarriageWorks and Under Milk Wood at atyp;
The Sydney Fringe and Free Association present

GRETA
By George Kemp
Directed by Luke Butler

featuring Lizzie Cater as Greta
with live musical accompaniment from Portable Junk.

Meet Greta. It is six years down the track since her brother changed. He’s dead, she’s alive, and the family has allowed the poison of silence to seep between them. Inspired by Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis, Greta examines the effects of the past on the present.

"GRETA COMPLETELY CAPTURES THE ATMOSPHERE OF KAFKA. IT IS DELICATE AND PERSUASIVE. THIS IS A SPLENDID ONE WOMAN SHOW."
-Steven Berkoff


GRETA will be showing in Space Two at the Newtown Theatre as part of The Sydney Fringe Festival on the following dates in September:

Sunday 12 - Show starts 6:15pm
Friday 17 - Show starts 8:45pm
Saturday 18 - Show starts 8:45pm

concrete jungle where dreams are made of.....

So i made the move to Sydney.... its lovely.... it's big and she is one pretty city.....
Every morning on my way to work i walk past the city views, and i want to scream good morning sydney...... i guess i'd fit in with some of the local residence who do the same.... but i dont scream it, i mutter it under my overcoat as i walk past the thousands of busy train commuters and students on their way to UTS....
As a photographer one of the things i notice most is the people..... Sydney has an array of culture unlike any other Australian city and i LOVE it.... The colours, shapes, ages and diversity of this city's people is beautiful... i find myself hiding behind my oversized sunnies watching people, how they interact with each other, expressions from the faces of children...

I met a old man at central station asking for money, for a bottle of water. We had a chat and i asked if he were 'nunga', i believe the term used here is 'Kuri' - which is another word for Aboriginal... i asked because i felt i had seen his face before and you know what i had in the faces of so many 'nunga' children i have worked with and admired back in Adelaide... I gave him $2 and he bought a bottle of water with it....


I am still not settled but it will happen....
There is too much going on for me in this city...

I look out the window of my office and its raining..... i wish spring would hurry up.... i want to take shots of cherry blossoms and frame them in large prints on my wall.... so cliche...

warm weather and picnics..... please hurry up.
