Full Circle

I made a decision almost 20 years ago to follow the dollars. Whatever creative career I chose from graduating with a BVA (Bachelor of Visual Arts) was going to be the one that would pay the most or had the most commercial value. So this meant not pursuing solely a creative career but a career based on income around my skill set and evolving from there.

Seven Days With – Illegal Logging

I’m in the process of working through the logistics of Seven Days With and have received a heartfelt letter form a group of villagers in the heart of the illegal logging fight in the Cardamom Mountains.

This is a letter provided to me by a contact who is close to the illegal logging fight in the Cardamom Mountains in Cambodia. This letter is from a group of villagers fighting to save the forests and save their livelihoods at the same time. This is a cry for attention from these villagers and when you read through you will understand that this issue needs all the attention it can get.

Burra and Beyond

Burra, a town built on the copper explosion around 1849. The more of these historical towns I see the more I fall in love with the history of Australia. During its peak period in the 1850s, Burra had a population of around 5000 people. They came from far and wide and even from overseas to work on the biggest copper mine in the world. The town could not cope with the population explosion so residents dug homes out of the side of Burra Creek (see gallery). It wasn’t long before disease started working its way through the population, forcing residents from the creek and into a built residence.
Some of the mine has been restored but the majority has been destroyed due to recent open cut mining, which is a real shame as the museums show the historic mine in it’s hey day and it would be amazing to have seen it fully restored. There is still plenty of the historic mine to experience all around this beautiful historic town.
