Cradle Mountain Exhibition
We've hired a van and it is now packed full of framed prints ready to drive to Cradle Mountain for my latest exhibition. This show is titled 'Sussurations' and is themed around the mystery and beauty of Tasmania as it may have been viewed by early settlers. The Tasmanian Wilderness Gallery has allocated me 3 rooms of their magnificent space and this will be my largest show ever.

Ten Days on the Island
I have just spent the past week assisting the curator, Tracy Thomas, at the Cradle Mountain Wilderness Gallery to prepare the exhibition 'Strata' as part of the Ten Days on the Island arts festival.
It has been a wonderful week in excellent company at an outstanding gallery.

Crown Series Regatta 2009
Last weekend Bellerive Yacht Club once again hosted the Crown Series Regatta. A fleet of 230 yachts ranging through centreboard dinghies, skiffs, catamarans and keelboats contested the highly successful regatta in perfect summer conditions on the Derwent River.
My involvement was to produce 60 framed prints as prizes for the winners and placegetters. It is always exciting photographing yachts and despite the gloomy weather on Friday evening and mirror like conditions on Saturday morning there were still plenty of great photos to be taken. A stiff sea breeze in the afternoon provided more excitement.
The challenge was to obtain good quality pictures of every competitor and to then sort, print and frame the 60 best performers within 2 hours of the final race results being posted. Yep, it was impossible! I managed to do it 2 years ago with a smaller fleet but time was against me this year. Another hour and they were completed but an hour too late, the prize giving was over.
Nonetheless, I am happy with the result and feel I have produced some good memories of a great event. Next year we will rethink our approach and the amount of manpower required.

Linking to Twitter and Blogger
Wow, can this program get any cooler. It seems I can post to Posterous and it will automatically post to my other accounts like Twitter, Blogger, WordPress and Flickr!

New Web Page
My Stray Dog Photos website (www.straydogphotos.com) has been updated and now become www.ianjeanneret.com. Stray Dog Photos has been fun and is certainly easier to remember and spell than Jeanneret but seeing as I sign my photos with my own name it seems logical to have a website using that name. I still trade as Stray Dog Photos and will continue to sell Hahnemuehle and Magiclee papers from that business.
By the way can anyone see the sea goddess in the photo above?
