Come one, come all, experience the magnificence of my blinding genius as i take you on a whirlwind tour of the Gold Crop Exhibit using my Mobile Phone

While some would have you belive otherwise, taking quality pictures with a phone is HARD.  Unless you’re perfectly still while taking a photo, all you end up with is a massive blur. Out of the 100+ photo’s i took, these were the only ones good enough to put up here :P

The Exhibit in all its glory!

On Monday 31st March 2008 I went to my hometown of Kamarah where I lived when I was born. About 5 years ago the house was burnt down and my Dad had to move to Goulburn. More to the point I was very sad because that was my favorite place in the world.

I went there with Davo, Paul and James to be interviewed about the house and screen at the “Egg” park in Griffith for a homelessness exhibition for youth week 2008.

Below is the video of my interview.


Paul - The Living Library Book

Paul participated in a great project on the weekend. It was the Living Library project at Griffith Library.

He became a “living library book” a day. Anyone that came in to the library could talk to him about his life.

You can read all about it in this Area News article (18 April 08):

Youth Week Video Screening

It began as sun set over the young Big hART crew. Usually it was the bright Egg Park, tonight devoid of excited children’s screams. A projector screen glowed alone in the park’s grassy corner. Locals nearby stared at an exhibit of photos and captions taken by homeless youth, enthralled in their lonely, cold tales.

Then Ben painted himself pink, the night’s obligatory serious moment halted and we kept partying.
