Uncle Joe’s Chooks

Jeremy — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 15:07:30 +0000

If you have been down to the Gorman House markets in Canberra on a Saturday, there is a fair chance you would have come across Uncle Joe. He sells chooks. He was nice enough to teach us about chickens, and let me take a few shots too.

Another day in the office

Jeremy — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 09:18:27 +0000

Things have been crazy busy lately, so the blog has been a little quiet. I’ve been down the coast teaching my first one on one mentoring session (a great couple of days fishing, teaching, photography, and all round good time! Thanks Tim, Matt & Greg). Then back to Canberra, off to Melbourne shooting for the election, back to Canberra. It seems like half the life of a photographer is spent traveling or on the computer. Or both at the same time! Another beautiful day at the office :)

Sundays are for shooting

Beautiful little Ruthie

Jeremy — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 03:06:22 +0000

Hi friends, meet little Ruthie. She is the daughter of my good friends Zoe and Stephen and is basically the cutest little kid you’ll ever see!

She was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and has been receiving great care from Novita Children’s Services. These services are provided to families free of charge and rely on donations to operate. Aaron Posad is participating in the City to Bay run to raise funds for Novita. So please come together and support a great cause, you can donate here. Thank you so much for you support it means so much to so many people!

Also, I will donate $30 for every print that is sold from my online store from now until the 31th of August (this includes Italy and photos of Ruthie). Enjoy a few frames of the gorgeous girl taken on Christmas eve last year.

To support Ruthie and other families that rely on Novita Children’s Services please donate here.

And don’t forget I will donate $30 for every fine art print that is sold from my online store from now until the 31th of August. So you can have a beautiful print and support a great cause!

walking the streets

Jeremy — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 05:58:55 +0000

Vespas zooming past thousand year old buildings, the distant sound of police sirens and foreign accents. My mind starts to slow down and my body starts to feel things that are going on around me. I’m smelling new smells, hearing new sounds and noticing things that people seem to be walking straight past. There is a river of people passing by, flowing to places like the Colosseum and the Vatican, and it seems all I want to do is stand still and experience everything that is happening around me. What is wrong with me? Why aren’t I feeling the overwhelming desire to visit these sites this very instant. Am I broken? Have I missed the point? Or am I starting to experience the world in a different way? I smile to myself and press the shutter.

Purchase a fine art print in the online store here

Bring the fun – band promo

Jeremy — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 07:45:21 +0000

One of the first things I started photographing years ago was bands. Music is something I absolutely love and holds a very close place to my heart. So a few weeks ago I did some promo shots for a few local artists, one in particular called Fun machine. To say they were fun, is a little silly and probably an understatement! But we did have a bunch of fun and I thought you might like to see them :)

They’re in the process of organizing a tour and doing some new album stuff. Be sure to keep an eye (and ear) out for these guys. Check them out on myspace http://www.myspace.com/morefunmachine (a couple of favourites, “nintendo in the jungle” and “cougar”.

Thanks to Scot and Ollie and everyone else who helped out! :)

Brigid and Paul – Siena, Italy

Tuscany teaser

Jeremy — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 12:47:41 +0000

One of the perks of being a photographer is traveling to amazing places. Yesterday I was fortunate enough to photograph a destination wedding in Siena, Italy. We got some really amazing shots and I can’t wait to share them with you all!

I’ve also spent a large time photographing the people and the streets of Siena – which has been a life changing experience in itself!

Here is a quick teaser of what is to come :)

Life, love and laughter – finding something real

Jeremy — Mon, 03 May 2010 11:55:13 +0000

For the last few years I’ve been trying to find my purpose, to understand how and why. Why have I been drawn to photography, why have I let go of everything else to pursue the craft? What is my direction in all of this? What am I doing with my life? Why do I smile to myself when I walk around and see beauty in the world around me? Why do some people think I’m crazy?

Then today, it dawned on me. It hit me like a slap in the face and it finally makes so much sense.

I yearn to discover and experience human connection and emotion, with a sense of truth and authenticity.

Life isn’t about the house, or the car or the boat. It isn’t about the pay cheque at the end of the week, or the picket fence, or the gym membership. It is all about our experiences with other people. It is about how we interact with our friends, family or person sitting next to us on the train. The most important of these experiences is love. This is where I will be focusing my photographic vision.

With this in mind, my photography and my life will undoubtedly be changing and evolving and I cannot wait to share this with you. Here are some recent photographs from a trip to Melbourne that has been the catalyst to this new understanding. Enjoy :)

Megan and Paul

Megan and Paul had an intimate garden ceremony in the Senate Gardens at Old Parliament House, Canberra. The ceremony was relaxed and the weather turned out to be perfect for a garden wedding. We also got to go and play at the Railway Museum and make some cool photos.
