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 775KB] is available for download. Currently I'm completing my 2 final units of a post-graduate university degree of MBA (Journalism and Media Studies) at the University of Tasmania.
My fine art photography is available online at Steven Clark Studio. You may also enjoy my photo blog Walk a Mile in my Shoes.
Hosted by Brett Drinkwater at Tashosting who is always there at the other end of my every inconvenient question and technical crisis. Brett's local community support for us over the last five years is greatly appreciated.
The time has come for me to get more involved in upping my technical photography skills if I hope to embark on a Master of Fine Art and Design (Photography) next year. To that end my first book is the highly recommended Light Science & Magic: An Introduction to Photographic Lighting (Third Edition) by Fil Hunter, Steven Biver and Paul Fuqua. What really differentiates this book is the comprehensive set of exercises and the detailed explanation of the underlying science of light in the real world that encompasses the reader's journey.
