Our DVD airs tonight!

Hi photography lovers... Our photography DVD airs tonight, and every night this week! Check out the special on the National Geographic Channel for Camera Week, starting at 9.30pm...

You may have read in our previous blog that our creative team produced a 2 minute DVD using still photography, original music and animation; it's quite different, and something I'm sure all of you will enjoy.

Looking forward to your feedback on our recent work! For more info email or call us.

Feathered friends

Recently we were asked to email some photos of our beloved pelicans... these are a few of my personal favourites.

Photographed in Australia and Europe, getting up to all sorts of antics, there's no denying these beautiful birds have personalities all of their own.

A few facts:

Size: 1.6 to 1.8 metres
Weight: up to 7 kg
Wingspan: up to 3.4 metres
Lifespan: 25 years

Recently as I walked along my beach (inner city Melbourne), I was fortunate to see around 10 of these great birds flying together. It never ceases to amaze how they fly in a perfect formation, just as though they have inbuilt magnetic compasses.

Oliver seems to enjoy photographing these majestic birds - our photo library is bulging at the seams with pelican shots!

Art and Easter

The long weekend is here...

For some it's a break from the slog in the city, for others its the annual visit to Church; for all of us its the omnipresent influence of art.

Watching a documentary about St. Francis on the ABC channel this morning, I thought again how important arts' influence is on our everyday, especially during the Easter celebrations. Beyond common words, crossing barriers of language, art is there, open to interpretation, teaching us about the world, telling stories.

Thinking about photography... we thought we'd blog a few of our favourite pics, and the way they communicate this Easter.

New release: BISON's DVD!

After a lot of hard work (and a little creative genius), the team at BISON Studio has produced their very own DVD!

'The World of Colour' is a milestone for the studio, and has also set a new benchmark for professional photography. In an Australian first, Oliver has selected his all time favourite portfolio, Ben has composed original music, and Darc has provided the glue of animation brilliance to package it all into 140 seconds of a captivating visual experience.

Baffled how we keep an audience entertained with still photography? So was I until I saw what the boys had produced... if this is all starting to sound like an advertisement, I apologise, it's just that we're all so excited about this great new product. Bison has 3 horns now ;)

Earth Day is April 22nd

One of our friends in the USA recently emailed us about the 35th anniversary of the first Earth Day. No one seems to recognise this day in Australia (or those that I spoke to)...

It seems that the Bush Administration is focused on achieving meaningful results – cleaner air and water, and healthier lands and wildlife habitats.

We think it's a day of action all Nations can adopt; looking at these photos recently taken in Tasmania, it certainly wouldn't hurt.

On the positive side we're told, the nation's air is much cleaner today than it was 35 years ago and progress will continue, the trend of annual loss of wetlands has been reversed, and restoration and redevelopment of abandoned industrial sites is accelerating.

Lets celebrate Earth Day every day... to stop images like this appearing.
