Many of you will be aware that I have gotten into photography over the last 12 months or so. Most of the output of my efforts can be viewed on my little part of flickr.

Im rather excited to announce that I am taking part in an exhibition of photographs, there are 19 photographers, all members of the Melbourne flickr group exhibiting.

The exhibition runs from wednesday 24 May - Sunday 11 June

At: 69 Smith Street Gallery (69 Smith Street Fitzroy)

Gallery is open wed-sun 11am - 5pm

The official opening is on Saturday 27th May 2006 from 3pm-6pm.

Entry is free, if you cant make it to the opening, I will be gallery sitting on Wednesday afternoons during the exhibition, it would be great to see you all there.

(please feel free to pass this on to anybody who may be interested)

(a pdf version of the flyer is available here)

for the curious here are the pics that I am exhibiting

Every monday night the school organises a film screening, last week it was the elephant man which i watched just to listen to the dubbing … this week was the film inseperable with jeremy irons… this is a painful film made even more so by the painful and hard to follow dialogue (italiano of course), not really interested in talking about the film.

In rome, watched an impromptu latin jazz ensemble perform at a piazza along side the tiber in trastevere, they played for an hour on the steps of a fountain, there were at least 15 of them, just the old classics but each had their go at a solo which was special… and no hat being passed around either… they were probably famous.

Getting into the morning equals school - afternoon equals rest routine. God bless these crazy Europeans and the afternoon siesta, why the heck should people do anything between 12:30 and 3:00 anyway? What could you do during that time that cant wait until 3:30 or the next day, may it live forever I say. (more…)

My mum didn’t pack me a lunch and I didn’t cry when i was standing at the front door of the school waiting for the first day to begin, but the place has a bell that rings between classes,.. so i guess it’s flash back time. (more…)
