I couldn’t remember how long it was since I had visited our local show so, I had to go to the The Cairns Show this year. It was the last day for it and I got this wild urge to capture some times-lapses of sideshow alley. It was pretty hectic in those alleys but I stood right in the middle of the mayhem with people kicking my tripod and knocking me and my backpack around (it wasn’t that bad, but ultimately you don’t want to be anywhere near moving things when you’re doing time-exposures) and I still managed to snap a few pics worth editing. Overall it was a lovely experience. This year, I also was asked to be a judge for the Cairns Show Photographic exhibition which was a great experience! I got to work with fellow local Photographers and as a thank you I was gifted a show pass. Thank you Richard Foord and The Cairns Show. I had a ball!

A sombre crowd gathered at the Narrow Tracks Distilling for the opening of ‘Loved and Lost — The Freshwater Raintree — In Pictures’, an exhibition documenting the community campaign to save a 19-metre, century-old raintree in Freshwater. The tree’s controversial removal brought an end to a campaign lasting more than 10 months, after Cairns Regional Council approved an application that allowed a developer to proceed with a dual-occupancy project on the Freshwater site. The beautiful documentary photographs by Brian Cassey, Kerry Trapnell and Jon Westaway will remain on display until Sunday, 26 July. Watch the 90sec film made for this exhibition by ArtMuse in YouTube.See the gallery images for this event at Loved & Lost Gallery

Everyday, volunteers get out of bed and use their time and energy to help others, to listen to others, to build community, and to find their own place in that community. It is an act of commitment and belief in the goodness in ourselves and other people. Our community would just not function if these volunteers were not willing to step up and help. Fortunately, there are many people who do volunteer for a myriad of organizations. These organisations include ones working in and promoting health, education, welfare, environment, culture, arts, sport, and often a mix of all of these. National Volunteer Week (17-23 May 2021) seeks to recognise the invaluable contribution of volunteers to their communities and to the Australian society as whole. This exhibition isrecognises and showcases people who volunteer across our region. There are many more volunteers participating in our community which regrettably, we wish we did not have the time to include. Our region is very fortunate for these people’s contributions and our hats go off to all of them. Only twenty organizations across Cairns have been photographed for this event, and we thank them for their time and patience. These are all organizations which rely […]
