We decided to watch the sun set over the ocean. I rarity for us east coast dwellers. Unfortunately it all fizzled out when the sun sunk beneath this body of clouds. In the minutes before this is Tim lining up a shot of beautiful sky line and turtle island.
It’s Roid Week again! This time Fall as the yanks like to call it – but for us in the Southern end of the planet…it’s Spring!! This is my first addition for Roid Week 09 Spring. It was taken in Wilson’s Prom on the Loo-Errn Track, on a very cloudy, overcast day. Using my trusty one step and polaroid 600 expired film. Bring on the rest of the week!
Melbourne Silver Mine Inc presents…
Opening Night Friday 7th August 2009 at 6pm
Gallery times: Mon-Fri 12-8pm, Sat & Sun 10am-6pm
=================================================================
Now in its third year, The Melbourne Silver Mine’s UNSENSORED09 is the work of 44
artists using film in their photographic expression.
The spectrum of methods, genres and statements in the exhibited works are as broad
as the spectrum of artists, and visitors can expect everything from the polished to the lo-fi,
avant garde to traditional, shot on equipment from modern to nigh-arcane. Film is the
common thread in the group: each artist exploits the nuances of film-based capture in
tandem with new post-analogue processes and methods.
Works will be available for purchase during the exhibition, and many of the artists will
be present through the duration of the show and on opening night.
Unsensored07 saw 12 photographers presenting work, which doubled in 2008.
Unsensored expands once again in 2009, continuing to showcase new works by
emerging photographers. Unsensored09 is a project of The Melbourne Silver Mine,
a non-profit incorporated association based in Melbourne, Australia.
The group was formed by a group of enthusiastic analogue photographers. Its purpose
is to encourage and promote the continued use, unique features and appreciation of
traditional photographic techniques and equipment.
The exhibition features the work of the following photographers (all are members of the Melbourne Silver Mine)
Rhys Allen, Roberts Birze, Zaeem Burq, Lucian Chaffey, Dave Chin, Andrew J Cosgriff, Alistair Dickinson, Barbara Fischer, Peter Fritze, Ravnish S Gandhi, Tim Heraud, Nick Hinch, Michael Holbrook, Ross Holmberg, Paul Hocksenar, Bronwen Hyde, Hamish Innes-Brown, Skye Johnson, Timothy Johnson, Matthew Joseph, Michael Le Fevre, Jaye Loring, Giovanni Lovisetto, Iain Maclachlan, Chris Matterson, Jodie Noonan, James Oates, Vinnie Piatek, Ambre Pitt, Karen Riley, Ahmad Sabra, Jesper Sidhu, Cameron J Stephen, Paul Stoney, Ray Strong, Jesse Swallow, Reinis Traidas, Michael Verhoef, Christian Were, Katherine White, Damian Young, Rob Young, Jacqueline van Zetten and Chris Zissiadis.

I will be exhibiting recent works of the Heavenly Queen on the banks of the Maribyrnong River. Which was shot using my trusty Holga 120n and some expired Fujichrome Velvia 100 @ ISO 100.
Do come down and check it out!
jpg magazine are back on deck after a four month break. Good on them too! Glad to see that they were able to pull the bits and pieces back together and continue to inspire with their themes. In a newsletter update to members at the end of April, Seth Familian wrote about A Bright New Future.
First off, thank you!! It takes an amazing community to build something as unique as JPG, but it takes an even more remarkable, passionate, and committed community to come to JPG’s rescue. And that’s exactly what you did.
Your outpouring of support–whether on Flickr forums, blogs, or savejpg.com–demonstrated to the world (along with the investment community) that JPG is simply too special and unique to vanish. Our new investors agree with you–and believe strongly in the potential of JPG as a business. So I’m looking forward to working with them to creatively drive revenues while enhancing the quality of the JPG experience. I’m also looking forward to working with our Premier Community Partner, Adorama, to develop wonderful opportunities for all of you to reach a broader audience as well as better engage around the photography equipment you use and love. More on that to come!
Secondly, please be patient with us. While it’s very exciting to be able to continue operating this website and the broader business of 8020 Media, it’s going to take a little bit of time to get our operations back up and running at 100%. Therefore, it may take longer than normal to get responses from JPG Support or resolve issues that may have arisen with the website in the past 60 days. Thanks for your understanding on this.
And finally, start getting excited! The recent events at 8020 Media have given us a rare opportunity to step back, better understand the business, and develop a strategic plan that drives revenues while giving back to all of you–our incredible community members, without whom this site simply wouldn’t exist.
