Australian Institute of Professional Photographers<\/a> conference in Melbourne back in the early 1980\u2019s. Brian and I became great mates.<\/p>\nBeing part of a professional organisation is important especially a National one, you meet and share things with like minded people who are not your competition.<\/p>\n
I was very busy at the time and Brian gave me some great advice, \u201cI know a lot of photographers who make a shit load of money in their 30\u2019s the only ones with any left in their 60\u2019s are the ones who buy a building to work from, rather than pay someone else rent, pay the Bank a mortgage\u201d<\/p>\n
That was 1985, I came back to Adelaide and bought a building.<\/p>\n
Sold it a few years ago, it\u2019s now my self managed Super Fund.<\/p>\n
I was on the original Mentoring Committee started a few years ago by the AIPP, mentored quite a few other Photographers including Peter Barnes a great Adelaide Architectural photographer who I still catch up with. The Wine Communicators of Australia have a mentoring program. I mentored Ben MacMahon as part of that.<\/p>\n
More recently I mentored a group of young photographers in the Onkaparinga Council area in a project \u2018Shoot the South\u2019 which became \u2018Nurlungga\u2019 a very successful exhibtion held at the Port Noarlunga Arts Centre.<\/p>\n
In my retirement I am very interested in still being involved in Photography.<\/p>\n
As I often say \u201cPhotographs are important : The current International \u201cBlack Lives Matter\u2019 movement would not have been so far reaching, if someone had not photographed the murder of George Floyd.<\/p>\n
Many other photographs have led to major changes in people\u2019s view of the world.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
