RIRDC’s ‘Rural Women’s Award’:
This year I was honoured to be one of the Queensland finalists. The project I proposed was to run a national, multi-industry competition for short videos featuring farm conservation; from positive every-day decisions farmers make in favour of the environment, up to innovative, large-scale projects. This RIRDC project had a multitutde of potential benefits and the potential to be an international and annual competition.
This year is the first time I entered Australia’s largest photography competition, held annually in Sydney. My Brunette Downs aerial photograph called ‘Straight as an arrow – almost’ was a finalist. The Landscape Award finalist exhibition was on display in the Fountain Court Gallery in NSW Parliament House for 5 weeks (April-June 2016). Attending some HeadOn exhibition openings, panels & workshops was fantastic. So much useful information and interesting conversations, and so many great photographers, including a number from other countries. Highly recommend attending – very inspiring! I have know Bill Bachman & Moshe Rosenzveig for many years, but it was the first time we met in person. There’s a good article on Moshe, festival instigator and driving force, in the Sydney Morning Herald.
