It's our 2nd birthday! From humble beginnings of producing koala Christmas cards on the lounge room floor, to shooting major construction projects, releasing a DVD series, having our photography feature in calendars, on pay TV, licensed corporate gifts for the State Government, blogging for one year, framed photos for Walt Disney's office... ahhhh - how rewarding! The hard work is all worthwhile :)A big thanks to our family, great friends, and wonderful clients who have supported us, we couldn't have done it without you!
Number one question asked this year... Why the name BISON?
In a few words - Magical 15 000 year old Stone Age (Paleolithic Period) paintings discovered at Altamira in northern Spain.
The cave paintings depict mainly bison which lived during the ice age. The paintings were made using natural pigments such as yellow, red and brownish ochres as well as black manganese earth and charcoal. In places, they were also engraved into rock... colours that are gradated into such a vast array of shades that the creatures appear three-dimensional and amazingly realistic.How were the works painted 45 feet long without light?
What sort of magical rites did they hold? We all shared the continuing fascination with, and curiosity about creativity of that period and found the parallels that exist with what we do... Hence the name, hence the symbolism.
From the magic embedded in cave paintings, to the quality of enchantment produced by our photography and multimedia... a tangent, a giant leap perhaps - it's a step closer than you think ;)
