- A Very Personal Post
Last weekend I asked everyone on a local photography forum ‘Sooo… what’s everyone shooting this weekend?’ I got various responses from weird bugs, to fire performers, portraits and book covers. I asked the question knowing I wouldn’t be shooting anything that weekend. I was going to be flying interstate with my partner to be with his family as his grandfather was dying.

‘Visual Literacy’. Roughly translated it means a person who can tell you exactly why your image is shit. When you find people like this, listen to them.

Number one on that list is mentoring. Actually, it’s not. Great food and red wine are equal number one. But mentoring is definitely right behind them.

- Change the Name: Change the Game
While the decision to change the business name was easy I think there are less painful ways to pass time. Like having a group of red cordial infused pre-teens mistake my buttocks for a piñata, as an example. Here's how and why the beast that is Industrial Arc Photography was born.
