Negative forecasts of the demise of the print newspaper echo around the world. “High levels of debt, falling revenues and collapsing share prices, have led many [newspapers] into a vicious cost-cutting cycle. More than 12,000 journalists have lost their jobs so far this year, on top of about 2,200 in 2007,” wrote Christopher Warren in The Future of Journalism report.  Finding peace of mind in Bali Why do we travel? I seem to ask myself that question during almost every journey I take. And it always appears unannounced in my head at about the same time. It’s when I’m starting to get that settled and calm feeling – kind of like getting in the groove. The travel groove.

It has taken some time but I’ve finally started adding some image galleries under my events and wildlife photography portfolios. The first gallery, filed under events photography is from the Woodford Folk Festival where I was commissioned to take images of the festival site. A great event to attend, although over the years the feel has changed as the festival has grown in size. For the music lover, it’s an event not to be missed. Camp for the week and lose yourself in the moment.  Before and after cyclone Hamish passed by Noosa (G.Hardwick).Apologies for the quality of the images -- it's the comparison I was after. After narrowly missing the wrath of Tropical Cyclone Hamish, Noosa’s main beach still suffered a significant loss of one of its least sustainable resources — sand. Noosa main beach, due to the hard rock groins and other nearby development, such as Hastings Street, usually pumps sand from the nearby estuary to keep the beach sandy for visitors. However, by the time Hamish was close to Noosa (just off the tip of Fraser Island) it had reduced to only a category 2 cyclone. I wouldn’t like to see the results of a category 5 hitting square on the Noosa coastline. Somehow, I think some very expensive properties would lose some real estate. |
