"The Big Smoke" has been featured in the latest redbubble.com book entitled "The City". The Book features a selection of the best work on RedBubble (both images and writing). I'm delighted to be included in this selection.

Click on the link to purchase the book, or even better buy a print of the image here.

You can see that the photo is even included on the books advertisement in the Redbubble store.

The Photo shows a view of the Sydney CBD from the rooftop parking at Broadway Shopping Centre. In the distance you can see the smoke coming in from backburning operations on the north side of the City.

Thank you to the RedBubble Judges for their exquisite taste.

Cheers,

Alex

Photos from the Melbourne Sound Relief Concert, that was held for victims of the Bushfire Desaster in Victoria on Saturday the 14th of March 2009. I made these and other images from the concert available for sale on RedBubble.com. All of the proceeds will go to the Red Cross Bushfire Relief Fund.

Last week I was lucky enough to attend the Bushfire Relief Concert in Melbourne. I could have gone to Sydney, where Coldplay were, but I coul not miss out on Midnight Oil reforming for one last time. And I was not disappointed. The whole day was a once in a lifetime experience. The irony of the rainy weather just added to the the atmosphere.

I hope my images tell the story better then my words ever could.

Taken as part of The Shire Flickr Group Meetup at Kurnell - 7 March 2009. Michael, Justin, Jason, Alison, Tony, Raymond and I met this morning in the Botany Bay National Park.

In the background you can see an oil rig platform that is used to construct the controversial Desalination Plant in Kurnell. Usually an Eyesore, but I think here the light works for the photo.

This is a slideshow of images that I took at Grind Esspresso Bar in Cronulla on Valentines Day 2009. The place is always busy and makes the best coffee in Sydney. 

In light of the tragedy of the Bushfire Crisis I am donating one of my images to the phoenix appeal on redbubble.com.

All proceeds from the sale of this image will go to the Victorian Bushfire Relief Fund. If you like you can purchase a print here. or just go to the Phoenix Appeal Account here and purchase any of the other works donated by redbubble artists.

Thank you,

Sincerely,

On my way back home from Balmain yesterday. I had a "great" Idea. Why not hang out of the car, while driving and take a a nice wide angle shot of the Anzac Bridge. Luckily I didn’t kill myself or trashed $5000 worth of Equipment.

As with everything in life you have to take risks with photography. I think this one was well worth it. All the other 60 Shots I took in the same style weren’t.

Anyway I really enjoyed the thrill. I think I’ll do it more often. Maybe next time as a passenger.

Here you can see the images leading up to the actual shot. in the first you can see the bonnet of my car

Just came past our building site today. It has only been 3 months since they first started with the construction of our house. It has come a long way. It is pretty much at lock up stage now. I guess only a few more months until we can move in.
Our builder is Eden Brae and so far they have done a great job.

This is the first shot that I have posted in a while. It is also the first one I took with my new D700.
It is a shot of a Train passing the current track works at Kirrawee Station. They are doubling the tracks.
Theses works have been going on for a while now and I think they have also gone over budget quite substantially.
Hope you enjoy the image.

This is another shot I took, when I hired the Nikon D3 the other day. I took this photo just down the road from our place in a small reserve, when I went on a little excursion to explore the surrounds.The HDR processing really brings out all the beautiful detail of the cave and some of the graffiti.
