Foto Freo 2012 Fro on the Fringe
January 6, 2012
Yes, the news came through this afternoon in a collective email from Foto Freo headquarters for this year’s fringe dwellers to be given the “go ahead”. So there we have it, ladies and gentlemen. According to Bob Hewitts’s Foto Freo December 2011 newsletter, “Landscape photography, along with wild life photography, has not received much attention in past Festivals.” So I am pleased to assist by doing my small part in addressing this imbalance by participating in this year’s Foto Freo Fringe Festival 2012, along with my good friend and colleague Peter Kovacsy. Our exhibition, “Changing Places” will be held at the Barracuda Studio Gallery, U3&4/56 Pakenham St (corner of Pakenham St and Nairn St, Tele 08 9430 6606), starts March 17th. Come along, see some traditional hand made prints and catch up for a chat.

Hi Aberline,
Mmmm…. it’s an idea, but I thought I’d exhibit something a tad larger on the wall, so come along and have a look!

Thanks Alex, yes we will definately enjoy looking at your ‘larger’ photos!
The three of us are avid postcrossing nuts and like sending out your postcards when we get requests for landscapes. Its quite hard to get good quality postcards in WA and your cards are only available in the SW and we dont go down there very often!
What is postcrossing? Well its a postcard exchange project that recently hit the 10 million postcard sent worldwide milestone.

Also here is one of your cards that Heather has sent out that has been ‘favourited’ 35 times…
