Today my heart is a little heavier.

A few short weeks ago, I had the honour of photographing a very special lady as she celebrated her 90th birthday. A beautiful lady that I have photographed for many years with her family. She has since passed and I know how much her loving family will be missing their matriarch.

One of the things I love most about this job is that my clients don’t stay “clients” for long. Over the years, they become dear friends, and some feel like family. I am invited into some of life’s most precious moments—new babies, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, family gatherings, and all the milestones in between.

Being trusted to capture these moments is a privilege I never take for granted. The photographs we create together become so much more than images; they become memories, stories, and connections to the people we love most.

To her family, I am thinking of you all during this difficult time. I hope the many sessions we shared over the years bring you comfort, smiles, and precious memories to look back on. It is my hope that these photographs help keep her spirit close and remind you of the beautiful life she lived.

And while she will be deeply missed here, I know there is comfort that she is reunited with her beloved Jack, Pa, once again.

Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your family’s story. It has truly been an honour.

Tomorrow, aerial shooting of brumbies in Kosciuszko National Park begins again. As someone who spends a lot of time in this beautiful part of the world it is something that truly saddens me.

I think most would agree that native species and fragile alpine ecosystems should be protected but why after over two hundred years in the area are Brumbies all of a sudden, the problem? While brumbies get the blame, the Southern Corroboree Frog has been devastated by chytrid fungus. The Broad-Toothed Rat continues to battle foxes and feral cats. The Mountain Pygmy-Possum is struggling as Bogong moth numbers decline. The Stocky Galaxias has suffered because of introduced trout.

And then there's the fact that more than 22,000 acres of what is now Kosciuszko National Park sits underwater because of man-made dams — habitat that will never return and a landscape changed forever.

Roads, ski resorts and Snowy Hydro infrastructure have permanently changed the high country. Along with the lies about the Brumby population that are downright laughable. For years horsemen and women would manage the Brumby population, now it is illegal for them to take a Brumby but its ok for the government to shoot them. Where is the common sense?

Many Australians are also deeply uncomfortable with aerial shooting itself, until 2023 Areal culling was banned due to it being to cruel and inhumane. Brumbies have been found with 17 bullet holes, orphaned foals, horses left gut shot and suffering. Delivering a humane kill shot to a horse is hard enough from the ground at close range on a horse that is standing, how on earth can a kill shot be delivered to a small target area from above at such a distance to horse at full gallop. The simple answer in my opinion is, it cannot, perhaps this is another reason why National Parks and the Labor government refuse to put cameras in the helicopters

Brumbies have been part of the Australian High Country for more than 200 years, long before Kosciuszko became a national park. White Australians have never known this landscape without them. They are woven through our history, folklore, literature and identity. Whether you love them or not, they are part of Australia's story.

This shouldn't be a debate about choosing between native wildlife and brumbies.

It should be a conversation about protecting our environment while also demanding honesty, consistency and humane treatment of animals and honoring our culture and having pride in our history and current way of life still for many Aussies.

If you'd like to let the politicians that are responsible for this disgrace know your feelings, please send them an email.
