Time flies...

Wow, it's been almost 2 months since I last posted! I've been shooting like crazy though. I recently spent a couple of weeks with Circus Oz in the bushfire affected areas of Victoria, recording their workshops and performances with local children. The tour was called Bouncing Back, as a testament to the fighting spirit of the fires' survivors.

Simply siblings

"Never work with children or animals"...so the saying goes. It can be hard work sometimes, but not when the subjects are as responsive as the Rotella kids. See for yourselves what a pleasure it was...

Children of Cambodia

I have just spent a few days in Siem Reap, Cambodia, and was shocked by the contrast that exists there between the local living conditions and the excessive tourist traps. Angkor Wat was obviously enchanting, but what impacted me more was a visit to the Angkor Children's Hospital, which was established thanks to the compassion of a Japanese photographer and the generosity of foreign aid. It seems odd to me that while the Cambodian government has the resources to build large military monuments and restore religious relics, it does not appear to be able to provide basic shelter for its citizens or afford its children essential medical care.

Innocence

Children are one of my favourite subjects, as their reactions to the camera are so uninhibited. And as much as I love taking photos of children, I'd love to be able to see the world through the eyes of a child again.
