I worked with Giuseppe Sorbello in designing and printing his book on vocal training for the performing arts after I had designed and developed his website. Giuseppe had written this book over many years and hand drawn the images that ended up inside the book. Giuseppe had an idea for the front cover which included somehow incorporating music into the title itself.
It was a delight to work on this project and see it go on to become available through university bookstores.

While designing for Mater I created this invitation design for one of the hospital’s refurbishment launches. The design needed to appear modern while recognising the blend of old and new with the hospital’s refurbishment and history.

I took this photograph in the middle of the day—making the slower exposure trickier to manage—while still managing to capture an appropriate amount of water movement.
The photograph was taken on my film SLR—believed to have been a Canon AE-1—on a tripod in the Nerima Gardens in Ipswich, Queensland, Australia.
While designing for Mater, I created the billboard that announced the development of the new building that was being constructed to house both Mater Mothers’ Hospital and Mater Mothers’ Private Hospital (now Mater Mothers’ Private Brisbane). The billboard design announced that Mater was expecting a new building (a term often associated with mothers who are expecting a child).

I photographed this butcherbird on my mother’s verandah—which is a deck if you’re not Australian—using her Nikon SLR. I don’t recall the model of camera, but it was before the digital SLR world took over from film.

Butterflies are tricky to photograph as they are always in motion. I managed to stick with one on a day that it took a small rest in a tree in our back yard.
Photograph taken sometime prior to 2005 when this image was originally uploaded to my Flickr account. Camera unknown.
This apartment block sat between the apartment I was staying in and the coastline. Luckily I felt it was a good architectural photographic composition. Photograph taken on Canon PowerShot S2 IS.
I found this curlew (which I believe is a Bush Stone Curlew) resting on one leg in a local animal reserve. Just after I took this photograph, the curlew revealed it’s second leg (which had been tucked up into its body). Photograph taken on the Canon PowerShot S2 IS digital camera.
I managed to convince a wombat in a local animal reserve to stand still and pose for this photograph. At least, that’s how it felt. Photograph taken on the Canon PowerShot S2 IS.
Possums on the ground during the daytime are unusual. They are easier to photograph, but shouldn’t otherwise be seen this way. Photograph captured and possum captured as well—safely by local wildlife rescuers who restored the possum to health before releasing it back to the wild.
Photograph captured using a Canon PowerShot S2 IS.
