I was very pleased to have had my photographs included in the Melbourne Silver Mine’s 2011 Ballarat International Foto Biennale Fringe program show “Just Don’t Call it Street”.
Involvement in the show gave me the opportunity to showcase a broad sample of my film based street/social documentary work. The photos were taken with a range of camera/film combinations and captured the things I like to shoot along with a few techniques and formats that I have enjoyed using over the preceding two or three years.

You can view my exhibited images as a set on flickr, and a slideshow of the entire show can be seen here.
The show was held at the incredibly charming Old Butcher Shop, a private home and art-space kindly offered as a venue for the Fringe Program by it’s owner. The show featured the work of 17 photographers all members of the analogue photographic collective, The Melbourne Silver Mine.
The 2013 instalment of the Biennale is on from August 17 to September 15 2013.
Nice one Ziz,was a great little show in 2011. Any plans for a 2013 resurgence?
Thanks Will, The Silvermine are back in BIFB13 yes, I’ll have a shot or two in it no doubt. You? Any plans?
I’d like to include something, really need to scan some fresh stuff though. I’ll be going along to the festival either way though, loved it last time.
Yeah, I’d like to write a bit about the fringe shows this year, looking forward to getting updates from the BIFB people on what’s on so I can make a start. I’d be keen to put together a street show someplace sometime if you are interested, that’s probably another conversation.
