If you missed the opening of the Poimena Art Award 2009 for mixed media works last week then you’ve got about a month to cruise through and check out the artwork at Poimena Gallery, Launceston. This year the $7000 biannual award was nabbed by Hobart artist Cath Robinson for her necklace crafted from punctuation marks. Congratulations Cath, awesome.

My name is Steven Clark (aka nortypig) and my passions are business, web development, photography and writing. My current CV [PDF 619KB] is available for download. I have an MBA (Journalism and Media Studies) and a Bachelor of Computing from the University of Tasmania.
My photography is at Steven Clark Studio and my regular photo blog presents an ongoing stream of latest images at Walk a Mile in my Shoes and I'm working on a long-term photography project called the King Island Project.

As the first of three parts of Ansel Adams Photography Series, Ansel Adams: The Camera begins by discussing the idea of visualisation in relation to photography. Ansel Adams is a master of his craft; this series has sat on my backburner for some time. Book 2 in this series is The Negative and it's followed up by The Print. In them Ansel outlines his philosophy of photography rather than trying to lay down a set of rules. This first instalment is a technical book that explains the good old fashion film camera.
