I was in Edinburgh and not able to be at the Redaction Revisited performance at the Pyramid Club on 9 August 2016, luckly Mark Lockett had arranged for Thomas Lambert to record the evening for me. We have never done a performance involving projection before and there was no time for a rehearsal as Mark had just got off a plane from NY and was about to start a NZ tour with the Dan Bolton Quartet. On the whole I think it worked out well.

There were some amazing NZ acts at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Many thanks to the Arts Foundation and Boosted for supporting my Media Pass. I had a wonderful time capturing moments at the festival. There are more images available on my Twitter page

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Exhibitions
Met some lovely people at the Chromatic Visions exhibition last night. No matter how organized I try to be it’s always stressful but on the day it all seems to come together. Selecting work to exhibit can be daunting, especially when you only get one chance to make an impression. I can share the what, how and when of an image but the potential buyer has to make their own connections. If the image isn’t speaking to them well it just isn’t. You can’t take it personally.
I want to give special thanks to Dawn Wayand for curating the exhibition and all her hard work ensuring a great turnout and exhibition. Thanks also to the people who decided to purchase an image on the night, this is the best feedback an artist can receive.
Chromatic Visions

New Music Photography website
ProjectsI have just set up a WIX website for my music photography. Not that I need another site to update but I was just thinking that it presents my work more professionally than a Facebook page alone.
Select the image below to be taken to my new music photography website. I hope you like it.
Krappy Kamera

Susan Burnstine creates amazing images so to have her select one of my images for the SohoPhoto Krappy Kamera Competition blew me away.
The above image was captured in Central Park on a cold winters day on a holga using a panorama film holder. Check out my lomography page on www.lomography.com for more plastic camera images.
