An Australian, an American and a Mongolian walk into a bar...

Hey All, thanks for supporting my blog and following my progress while I was in South Africa.

I'm now blogging at www.motherofdiversity.com

Mother of Diversity is a blog by myself and two friends (an American and a Mongolian) which focuses on creative arts - Music, Photography, Fashion and Literature.

Were really proud of the site and can't wait to see what it grows into. Love to hear what you think of it.

Fringe Bar

Here are a couple of photos from an event I photographed a week or two back. There are a ton of photos from the event but these are the type I love taking most. Both are an overlay of two images, by using different exposures immediately after each other I get a funkily lit background and good detail in the people. I overlay them using a layer mask I let the people show through on the other frame and wala!

Enjoy

I'll drink to that

Hey all, my first post in a while but it is a good one....

My Landlord (or should I say overlord) while I lived in South Africa was a bitch. To make matters worse I basically lived in a self contained granny flat that joins her house which means that though the house was seperated she was always around to annoy me as she lived in the other part of the house.

So when she went overseas for her daughters wedding or something, I partied it up. This is me watching the sunset from the roof and having some beers. I am looking over Inanda Dam in the Kwa Ncglosi Valley, Kwa Zulu Natal South Africa.

I've edited the colours, hope you like them.

Google sent out a van outfitted with a battery of 360-degree cameras to capture street level images, and all sorts of human behavior was picked up as a result.

I am Bob

An amazing short film starring Bob Geldof as himself in "I am Bob" I just had to feature it.

A hilarious script and brilliantly shot, the short features Geldof who gets stuck in a town in the middle of nowhere and his only way out is to compete in a look alike contest which by chance is happening in the local pub....

Melbourne Trip

Hey All,
Here are a couple of my favourite pics from my trip down to Melbourne. I spent 5 days down there to work with the new team going to South Africa with Oaktree's Schools 4 Schools project.

This first pic was taken in Flinders Street station, Melbourne. I added some motion blur during editing and burnt it a little.


This is a shot of Southern Cross station in Melbourne. I saw some photographers taking some pics of a balcony and wandered over assuming there was something photo-worthy. Turned out to be a good shot so I took this awesome frame. The photographers were actually a photo class. I heard the instructor say something to one of the students about the roof, so I tried to use it as best I could.


I love the detail in thee roof and the 2 trains.

Hope you enjoy.

NYE 2

After about a month I have finally edited this pic from NYE. It is a photomanipulation, I took too pics at the time - one for the couple and one for the cityscape in the back ground. This was becuase I couldn't correctly expose for both of them in one frame. This is simply the two pics combined.

Enjoy
