Book: Life on the Lake

   Posted by: Gillian    in Products, cambodia, photography

While I was in Cambodia, November to December 2007, I spent some time at the village of Chong Khneas on the Tonlé Sap lake. I’ve finally finished putting together the book about the village & its life.

The book, Life on the Lake, is 10″x8″ (25cm x 20cm) which is not quite A4 in size, landscape in orientation & hardcover. There is no dust jacket, the cover itself is directly printed onto the hardcover with a durable matte finish. There are 60 pages & around 63 photos (though I can’t say I’ve counted the exact number of photographs).

For a preview of some of the pages & the cost to purchase, click to read the rest of this entry.

Zig Zag Dancing

   Posted by: Gillian    in events, photography

Zig Zag Community Arts are at it again.

Seeing a gap in the Bush Dance market – the last one at Whiteman Park was in 2006 – they’ve gone out on a limb & brought them back.  With the great excuse of raising funds for the Madjitil Moorna Halls Creek Project, they brought Stirk Park, Kalamunda, to life yet again; this time with a range of musical sounds from performers NumGuts, Black Chook Chutney & Madjitil Moorna.

Dances were demonstrated by Jenny, flautist of NumGuts, & called by Tony & Kevin, & the crowd picked them up quickly.  Audiance participation wasn’t limited by age or height or job – even the videographer, Matt Dekoning, got in on some of the dances!

Photographs from the evening are available to view within the main gallery.

Keep an eye out & an ear to the ground – it’s not long before the annual Zig Zag Formal Ball, Bella Noche, 23rd May 2009!
