Celebrating 100 Years at St John the Baptist Parish Ferntree Gully

Centenary Mass of Thanksgiving was celebrated today by Archbishop Denis J. Hart in Ferntree Gully.

In my photograph Fr. Alan Fox presents the Archbishop of Melbourne with a copy of the book Witness to the Light - St John the Baptist Parish Ferntree Gully.

Witness to the Light is a centenary anthology. I am proud to have contributed photographs to this book.

Alan Attwood - Writing for Publication

I attended a very informative seminar on writing for photographers at the New North Gallery in Fairfield last Saturday. It was held by Alan Attwood, the editor of The Big Issue. Alan is a member of MAP Group (Many Australian Photographers Group).

I took the opportunity to photograph Alan on the little balcony at New North.
