I spent the morning photographing this nicely decorated cottage in North Hobart.
The cottage is used for holiday accommodation and is advertised on various sites, including AirBnB.
The owner was thrilled with the results and business has improved significantly since.

The Wrest Point Art Awards are on tomorrow until Sunday from 10am until 6pm. The exhibition is located in the Boardwalk Gallery on the water’s edge, adjacent to Pier One Restaurant and Bar, Wrest Point, Hobart.
Make sure you go and have a look if you are in Hobart over the weekend.
Last year I won the Photo Media category with the image below.
This year I entered ‘Milky Way and moonset over Wineglass Bay‘. I shot this image in January while I was aurora chasing. Prints are available here.

I have donated 2 prints to be auctioned tomorrow at the fundraiser “Sydney Loves The Tarkine” (more information here). The event is to raise money for the documentary ‘Battle for the Tarkine’ and for critical campaign video production to create awareness for the Tarkine.
The prints are the following:
This image won the Wrestpoint Art Award in 2013 (photo media category).
If you are in Sydney tomorrow, please go and support the campaign to protect the Tarkine.
My good friend Rob Blakers has produced a BIG calendar for the Tarkine (560mm x 640mm). The photography is stunning as always for Rob’s work and the quality of the calendar is outstanding. Because of the size and the quality of the printing, each image can also be framed. A real bargain.
Click here to buy it directly from Rob Blakers’ website.
Just a reminder that Chris Bell (another amazing Tasmanian photographer) has produced a beautiful book about the Tarkine.
You can view some sample images and purchase the book directly from his website.
A few days ago I came across an image that Rob Gray shot 10 years ago when we were photographing the Tarkine for a book. It is a picture of me and my beautiful friend Darvis. We are chatting away as a shower is passing over us. That day I learned to love the rain.
