Kristen & Anthony

Kris and Frosty married on 10 April at St Lukes, Grant Springs church which is on Kris's parents property "Thalaba" in Crookwell.
Kathleen and I absolutely loved photographing this wedding!
We had a long drive to get to Thalaba with the spare time allocated for a cuppa void, due to taking a wrong turn and ending up in the middle of nowhere. Kathleen and I had to hit the ground running which was fortunaely made easy by the wonderful attitude of Kris and her family.
We didn't really know what to expect......we had a tiny church, an old whoolshed complete with dead fox and rifles!! 
Kris and Melinda looked very classy, Frosty and Fred looked great as well. This wedding was a black tie affair with the reception in the main woolshed.
Kris and Frosty look so happy and you can feel the love in the photographs. We had a lot of fun as you can see from the art images.














































Thanks Kris and Frosty for being so relaxed in front of the camera and supprising us in what you were willing to do.
We were laughing!

Exhibition at Carbon Black Gallery, Prahran





















John Frohlich and I currently have a photographic exhibition called "Affinarti - Photographic Haikus" in a trendy gallery called Carbon Black, at 188 High Street Prahran, Melbourne. We had been working on this artwork for the past year and it was such a buzz to see it finally hanging in a gallery. Many thanks to Tim the owner for his professionalism and good nature. The art work even sold before the opening.
We had the privilege of John's friends Scott Brisbane and Jill Anderson exhibiting in the upstairs rooms at the same time.These are some of the pictures taken on the opening night before it became packed with people. We were very happy that some of our models Julie, James and Jo flew down for the opening and celebrated with us afterwards.Also a special thank you to my cousins Di and Trish, Aunty Sylvia, Adam, Gemma and Xavier for celebrating with me and making my night fun.


Affinarti - Photographic Haikus explores human consciousness and the natural environment. Using a series of photographic images, natural elements such as earth, air, water and fire are merged with representations of various human states of being.
The works also eoke a sense of history, mythology, ideology and the subconscious by blending images of ancient civilisations, space and the contemporary world with the naked form.
Traditionally, Haiku poetry combined an image with a meditation on that image. Affinarti uses the photographic medium to create poetic visual metaphors.

You can see the whole exhibition in the Affinarti gallery on my web-site.
