Photo 612 is pleased to invite anyone travelling in Australia to visit the
Ballarat PHoto Biennale. Photo 612, 2009 Juried show winner
Tony Wood, Photo 612 Friend,
Ted Adams, and photo 612 hostess,
xtine, will be participating with an opening Sept. 19th with the slide show presentation
Triptych . After many years of photography for hire, xtine had started to become jaded with the commercial image and missed the idea of an image for an image's sake. She contacted her friend and fellow Australian photographer
Mark Avellino in hopes of bringing the fun back into photography and from the collaboration of the two, triptych began. "Triptych has become a weekly photodocumentary of my life. It opened my eyes to examing life as it is in front of me and has succeeded in bringing back the joy into my photography. I love having the challenge of finding a beautiful and/or ironic subject each week."
Mark & xtine had worked previously together on the 24/7
project- Malta- An international project bringing in photographers from all over the world to
photograph life on the island of Malta.
Fellow photographers hailing from Australia & Philadelphia Jennifer Ferguson, Fiona Lockhart, and Steven Crossot have also participated in keeping the Triptych project going since it's inception in January 2008.
