Sunday, November 15th, 2009

Had some photos and a profile written about me and my trip to cover the Indonesian earthquake published in the Big Issue today. Check it out (it’s got Paul Kelly on the cover) and support the Big Issue vendor of your choice. A big thank you to everyone in Indonesia who looked after me!! Check back here tomorrow for a multimedia piece featuring more of the images and some interviews with survivors…

The Big Issue

A colleague of  mine (the excellent photographer Saville Coble) asked me to help out with a shoot for The Big Issue a few weeks back.   The Big Issue is a wonderful charity that helps the homeless by offering them the chance to sell the Big Issue magazine and giving them half the cover price.  Their motto is ‘a hand up not a hand out’ which works for me. 

Saville, myself and the great guys from design house the Blue Group here in Melbourne all donated our time and expertise to come up with some callateral for their national advertising campaign to be launched on billboards and bus stops around the country.  I ran a nifty time-lapse on the G9 during the shoot and cut it into this nice fun clip (music by faux pax)….
