My latest project, Mono Blue , involves accumulating a collection of monochrome fine art landscape images from locations in the Blue Mountains World Heritage Area. Once curated, the final images will be printed for my solo exhibition in the auditorium of the National Parks & Wildlife Centre at Govetts Leap in Blackheath. This will be for the month of February 2015, with an Opening Afternoon to be held on the first Saturday in February. You can see a sample of images already selected on my project page.
Regards, Geoff

I'm just making final preparations before hanging prints for my 2nd solo exhibition at The Wattle Cafe, Blackheath. My works will be on display for 2 months from Tuesday 8 March 2011. Since June 2010, Wattle Cafe owners Paul & Leigh have encouraged artists to hang their works in the cafe, making for a pleasant decor for clients, and helping promote the work of artists at the same time. The Wattle is located on the Great Western Highway that links Sydney with central western NSW. The photographic prints are mainly landscapes feauturing the beautiful scenery of the Upper Blue Mountains, from Wentworth Falls to Blackheath. Included are sections of the Grose, Jamison and Kanimbla Valleys. Also included are some images of the beautiful creeks & waterfalls that are found in the area. The Wattle Cafe serves mouth watering breakfasts, a broad range of light lunch meals, a great range of cakes and tarts, and terrific coffee. If you're in the area, fancy a weekend away or day trip, please call in and have a look at the exhibition. Geoff Smith 3 days in Popes Glen I'm just back from 3 days break over the New Year's weekend, and I was served a reminder that landscape photographers should never tire of re-visiting "favourite" locations. The weather and lighting will be different on each visit, the foliage seasonally different. You will never cease to be amazed at the subtle (sometimes not so subtle) variations in look and feel. I guess that may have been one of the main reasons that Ansel Adams made so many visits to his favourite national parks and canyons. It didn't ever seem to him that he'd "been there, done that". As these images from my 3 days show, the look and feel of a landscape changes daily, hourly, or even by the minute. Next time someone queries why you were back at your favourite location yet again, just smile knowingly ;-) Geoff Smith |
