About two years ago I was commissioned by the Sydney Children’s Hospital Foundation to photograph the construction of a new wing at the Hospital. It was a much-anticipated building that would deliver new, state-of-the-art facilities for various departments, including Respiratory and Lung-Function, Day Surgery and importantly an all-new inpatient ward for Child and Adolescent Mental

A momentous event I’d like to tell you a story about my wife, myself, and our kids. My wife and I live about 5 minutes walk from a beautiful beach in Coogee. We spend lots of our warm weekend days here, and back in 2004, I married Belinda on this very beach. It holds a

Until 3 years ago, I had totally forgotten about Book Week. But now as a parent of an infant school child, Book Week becomes very important. First there’s the choosing of the character, then there is the making or repurposing of an outfit to suit the character, then the planning of the hair to go
