Armidale’s annual Autumn Festival returned with perfect weather after last year’s rainout, and I managed to grab some sneaky black-and-white street shots before the parade and Freedom Flyover. Shooting planes proved more challenging than expected, even with a 300mm lens, but it was a fun challenge nonetheless. The streets were packed for the parade, with plenty of colourful, creative floats bringing the town to life.

8 spectacular performances by Armidale’s Stars and their incredibly talented dance partners.

I kicked off the month with one of my favourite projects of the year: a test shoot with the incredibly talented Lisa Goldzieher. While I can’t share much yet, it has the potential to grow into a much larger art project. Despite some initial nerves, the perfect afternoon light and flowing water at Yarrowyck Crossing Reserve made it all come together beautifully.

Come along for an evening of expert talks and community connection, where you’ll learn about the challenges facing koalas — from habitat loss to climate change — and what we can all do to help protect them.

A warm sunny morning spent in the garden.
