Armidale Show 2026

This year I decided to enter the Armidale Show photography competition, submitting 10 images across 10 themes, an experience that involved a lot more trimming, mounting, and trial-and-error than expected. Even though I was running on fumes after a hectic couple of days, I still managed to capture a few moments from the show that I really liked. Despite only taking home one win, it was a valuable experience, and it was great to see others in my circle do so well.

Sticky Date Pudding

I revisited my long-dormant “Home Movies” project over the weekend while also taking the chance to practise some portraits with family. A little too much sticky date pudding made the creative process harder than expected, proving photography is sometimes easier on an empty stomach. Even if the results weren’t perfect, it was a fun and valuable return to experimenting.

Plum Jam

Ahead of shooting my short film Trolley Town, I needed a quick way to test two vintage lenses from the late ’60s and early ’70s for video. Making jam for the first time turned out to be the perfect low-stakes excuse to put them through their paces.

Coastal Path

Over the long weekend, I hiked the 13km Coastal Path from Lennox Head to Ballina, camera gear in tow. What should've been a 2.5-hour walk turned into a 6-hour spec shoot, chasing light and beachscapes. Despite forgetting to clean one of my sensors, I captured some shots edging closer to the 16mm feel of Morning of the Earth (1972). It may never lead to work, but sunrise shooting and learning on the go made it all worth it.
