A compilation of of some 130 images taken over a number of years and also available very cheaply as and "E" book, too.

As the title indicates the book is broken into themes and ideas.

Following are some samples that are within that euphamism, "work-safe".

Australian Crawl

Songs of a Summer's Night

Happy Birthday

Slightly Da-Da

JR Portrait

 And if I sell many, many, many thousands I may be able to afford a real one of  these.....

In another depressing example of Liarbril “values” in the Tardis State (where all goes backwards) under “Big Bird” (Genus: Silvertail Incompetens) Baillieu, MP Inga Peulich has been reported as threatening to savage her political colleagues for not supporting her son to become mayor of Kingston council. He, who reportedly accepted thousands of dollars in campaign donations from developers who wanted to concrete “Green Wedge” areas and then declared to council that his returns were “zip”! Apart from the seeming illegality of his donation non-disclosure he also dudded his benefactors and apparently offered a deal to a non-development candidate to get a mayoral vote. He lost 8-1.

All this happened in the same area that Geoff (Wanna-use-my-Govt-car) Shaw is a member and who is under another cloud for: you guessed it, fundraising irregularities…. What IS in the water down there?

Further rampant individualism was on show as Lance Armstrong “confessed” in the High Church of Chat that he was a cheat and gave the distinct impression that he had little understanding of what he had done and that now he had spoken it would all go away.

Federally depressing was “Big Red” Gillard’s kow-towing to religious bodies so that they can kick sinners, and other people they deem naughty out of work and not be said to be discriminatory.

This, in the same week as the Catholic Church paid $100,000 compensation to a disabled woman whom a priest preyed upon for 14 years.  Now the Church is allowing him to return to full pastoral duties.

Orwellian ain’t it?

...with publications and publicity

Geez Petals,

it's been a long time between drinks so just to keep the ball rolling, so to speak, I'll take some advice from "Blurb" and advertise a few of my books ...including the newest, which arrived today.

Blurb was suggesting a link to their site and had provided the html; but being a Wombat of limited technological capability I couldn't get the thing to work so  a "Cut & Paste" approach will have to suffice.

First, I might clarify why two books on different subjects have the same name: 
I knew during the research for the French sojourn that I would be exhibiting the images and making a book on return to Aus for the Ballarat International Foto Biennale. It was during the research that the name "Continuum"  seemed a most appropriate to title the show considering how the plannig for the trip was developing. 
Then, before leaving for France, Leeanne Rutherford and I were in conversation about a possible title for her Ballet Theatre Australia's next performance title and "Continuum" seemed again, to be the most appropriate for the time and dance concepts being performed. 
So my book has appended to the Continuum title ...a French experience. 

If you take the opportunity to review these books please remember when looking at "Continuum", "Counterpointe', and "Counterpointe 2" that these were all shot in a single session: dress rehearsal and then a single performance.
To Blurb... thanks for the production quality and the quick turn around from publishing to pick-up... the best was "Continuum...a French experience": eight days turn-around and as the helpful Blurb reps indicated at the Biennale, if you get the timing right in the production cycle  things happen quickly. 
Also, Fed-Ex's parcel tracking has been excellent ...I've now picked up books from the Post Office (no parcel delivery to troglodyte burrows this far out) on three occasions before the Post Office has noted me as to their arrival. 
Now, to the books:....................................

 


"Class".. shots taken from various dance classes over a number of years.  I think this book contains the essence of Ballet
A  collection of  candid images from various ballet classes which embody the reality, nuances and dynamic inherent in people whose intense commitment is rare in today's world.
Not a book about ballet per se , a book more to do with people of grace.

"C.V.'s etc." studio shots for dancers promotion, dancewear and performance advertising and audition material.

and last but not least a lovely little sketch/note book

still available from the Wombat himself and perhaps to be republished by Blurb in hardcover format if there is sufficient interest....

I have also been considering a book of Nudes covering some ten years of personal work which I think has produced many memorable images..... with tech details / lighting plans / raison detre etc... I'd really like some feedback on this one, Petals as it's a big one.

Cheers and ta for reading,

Shane.
