‘Gumscape With Road and Creatures’
Where is it? Customs House, Circular Quay
What is it? Artist and musician Reg Mombassa is something of a national icon. This multi-talented man is a founding member of legendary new wave rockers Mental As Anything – along with his current band, Dog Trumpet – and his instantly-recognisable, Australiana-infused surrealist art style is synonymous with Mambo and the fashion brand’s bright, cartoonish shirts, which are favoured by dads everywhere. So really, it’s about damn time that Mombassa’s rebellious imagination was let loose all over a building’s facade for Vivid Sydney. Created in collaboration with Spinifex Group, Mombassa’s contribution to the festival lights sees retro-futuristic robots, one-eyed koalas and other strange creatures take over Customs House. The classic Aussie road trip is turned on its head, and we are left to question our collective identity and what it means to be human.
See the animated wall!

Sometimes nature has a way of making a statement. It doesn't always have to be big or flash....it's often the smaller, more subtle ones that have the best impact.
Some shots from an amazing weekend over in Ireland with my good friend Leigh. One of the best weekends I can remember...and I'll hopefully be heading back for more sometime. It's such a beautiful place.
A mommy and baby wombat! Too dark to get a decent picture (without scaring them off with a flash), but they only come out at dusk. They are cute! This was at Cradle Mountain Lodge.
The interior of the Grand Mosque, we were lucky enough that the caretaker let us enter the fence and peer inside for a closer view.

Part of the Xi'An set.
The busiest I've seen Cerro San Cristobal yet on the Semana Santa long weekend. I try to hike this mountain a few times a week for excercise and usually it's deserted up here.
Making our way to Palm Beach to enjoy the awesome weather... we got lost.
Strobist: Cheating a bit. On camera rayflash ring light for key, ambient for fill.
There was an umbrella involved... but more about keeping the camera dry than a light modifier :P
Along the roadside, this sign reminded me of kind of thing you see at those old 'gas stations' in the deserts on American movies. Except this was in Ireland and surrounded by greenery.
