		<description><![CDATA[One thing that never seems to have left me is that when you start out in this industry, jobs are far and few between. You learn never to say not to a job and always work to find a work around to shoot the job and it often works out that the bigger the plans you have, the bigger the job that comes through.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I started this conversation on Facebook but I didn't want it to disappear once off the facebook wall. I wrote;
I see alot of slideshows on the web that photographers have created for themselves especially of weddings that use commercial music. I'm curious about how many of the slideshows have permission to use the tracks on this way.

		<description><![CDATA[It is very nice when your work is noticed. There is an article about me in the March 2011 edition of America's Professional Photography Magazine.

		<description><![CDATA[I learnt a hard lesson about managing files on a shoot recently.

My workflow is usually very good with structures for separating shot files, downloading, backing up and double checking all files are accounted for.

I was on a shoot that we ended up shooting about 1500 frames on the D3x. I use the backup feature on my Nikons where each file is copied  to 2 compact flash cards. ]]></description>

I had a deeply touching shoot recently photographing the Burnet family from Melbourne who are the Very Special Kids Piggy Bank Appeal Family for 2010. Their two boys have a terminal condition and the story of them finding out is absolutely heartbreaking.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I grew up in Canberra, and the school Narrabudah College, where I went to for years 11 &#038; 12 was pivotal in me choosing my career as a photographer. This was mainly due to the inspiring photography teacher I had, Les Kovacs.

My parents and sister live there and I wanted to visit home, so I recently organized talks in Canberra for the ACMP at the Canberra Institute of Technology. I presented a talk on Photography Pricing as well as my Speedlight Talk &#038; Demonstration.]]></description>
