    This fascinating sunset behind the mountains between Muscat and Dubai perfected the day we've spent with the lovely Omani family. by: evamast Views[1120] A typical Omani family home in a village close to the barrier lake we visited. It's beauty is it's simplicity and the colour composition. by: evamast Views[1207] The oldest son of the family enjoys playing around in the aflaaj, the water system of Oman - The waters of life. by: evamast Views[1114] This Omani family is getting a refreshment from the 47°C in one of the many Wadis. Early in the morning a local is waiting at the famous fishmarket in Muscat, while the fish he just bought is getting disembowelled. He is wearing a kumma, the traditional headgear in Oman. by: evamast Views[1003]
     
    Elephants are giant guys and they must eat a lot of food per day so mahouts usually wake up in the midnight to take sugar-cane (kind of favourite food) for them. by: binhdang Views[705] A mahout is jumping on back of elephants. After a hard working day for training, practicing, trekking… elephants always are relaxed by bathing on a river or a stream. by: binhdang Views[571] These images belong to my photo essay about the mahout's family living in the forest of Chiang Mai - Thailand. There was a chance for me to learn about the relationship between mahouts and their elephants in a short time - 3 days and also was enjoyed new experiences. The man is a mahout who is training and practicing for his elephant to pass through forest. This image belongs to my photo essay about the mahout’s family living in the forest of Chiangmai. In this project I had a chance to learn about the relationship between mahouts and their elephants in a short time - 3 days. Chiangmai is a famous city of travel with a huge number of elephant activities for tourists. by: binhdang Views[907] (5) The final image looks at the interactive art experience from a first person perspective. Instead of observing others at The Musuem of Contemporary Art in Sydney, I turned the lens on my own personal interaction with one of Anish Kapoor’s reflective works. Making myself part of the art experience. The reflective environment provided by the artist and the composition captured by the photographer. A little collaboration between me and Anish Kapoor (This photo was taken with an iPhone) by: clarebardsleysmith Views[568] (4) Anish Kapoor is one of the most recognisable contemporary artists in the world today. The Museum of Contemporary Art is featuring some of his works for the first time in the gallery. This photograph looks not only at Kapoor’s reflective work ‘The Sydney Eye’, it also looks at what an object is, in relation to other things. In this case, Kapoor’s circular work reflecting the sky around Sydney, is juxtaposed against the solid square matt mass of the museum itself. It is fitting because Kapoor’s work looks at ideas of form, voids and content, and how an object can be and not be. I was particularly pleased to catch this moment of two workers shining the great reflective surface, preparing the work for the public gaze, themselves becoming a piece of art in my photograph.

    (3) This image of a young girl running past the work “Stasis’ by Claire Healy and Sean Cordeiro outside the front of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney, looks at the idea of active participation in public art. We can without knowing, be creating art, while observing it. With the plane heading off to the left and the girl running off to the viewers right, I was lucky that her bright pink dress helped to tie the two elements together.

In a gentle wink to the viewer, I was playing with the idea of making art with art. There is Savvas’ work and then there is my addition to it, which can add to or alter the original meaning. A very contemporary idea. Ideas about how we make and record art, who is the author of the works we create and how globalisation and technology change the way we communicate with each other, are all playing out in everyday life. (This photo was taken with an iPhone) by: clarebardsleysmith Views[1501] (1) The Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney, looks out over the Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House and has recently been renovated. It houses some of the best collection of contemporary artists in the world today. I wanted to photograph how people interact with public art in a post modern world. There is now an almost expected interactive experience at every corner, due to how we now use technology to document our lives. With the advent of social media and the almost shameless self promotion of the individual, new ideas about the role of the artist as the sole contributor to work are being left behind. It is in this vain and in keeping with the idea of interactivity, I chose to use mobile photography as the photographic medium to document this ‘place I have visited’ In this example a young woman with appropriately colour co-ordinated earphones, takes a profile shot of herself in front of Robert Owen’s ‘Sunrise’ exhibit. This exhibit concentrates on light and colour and it’s structure allows for the re-organisation of the pieces for different spaces. The girl looks like she was created especially to be part of this exhibition. An accidental collaboration. She takes a picture of herself to preserve the moment, while I observe her, observing herself. (This photo was taken with an iPhone) by: clarebardsleysmith Views[958] Future of the Pacific: A young girl plays with a wind spinner made for her by one of the pacific voyagers standing in the background. She represents the future of the pacific, the future that Te Mana o Te Moana sailed across the pacific for, raising awareness and inspiring action to protect and care for our oceans. by: rawhitiroa Views[913] A Warriors Gaze: A Solomon Island Warrior leads his tribe onto the Honiara sports field as part of the welcoming ceremony. It was a spectacular show of colour and culture as delegates from all the pacific nations came dressed in traditional garments and performed traditional dances, songs and chants for the 30,000 strong crowd. by: rawhitiroa Views[2070]
     
    The Dawn Arrival: After more than a week of sailing day and night from Vanuatu the fleet of Te Mana o Te Moana arrives in the Solomon Islands. The fleet of 7 Vaka Moana reef their sails and await the dawn welcoming ceremony with thousands of locals gathered on the beach. Conch shells are blown and haka performed announcing the arrival. by: rawhitiroa Views[1061] Wash Time at Sea: 3 days sail out from the nearest land in any direction, Te Matau-a-Maui crew member Richard Smith leaps off the Bowsprite of the Vaka Moana covered in soap. A blistering hot day in the pacific and a lull in the wind allowed time for a fun filled splash in the sun. by: rawhitiroa Views[889] The Captains Watch: Sailing on a Traditional Polynesian Voyaging Canoe or Vaka Moana, Te Matau-a-Maui Captain Frank Kawe and Watch Captain Patrick Mohi lead the fleet out towards the Solomon Islands, the final leg of an epic 18month voyage to all ends of the pacific ocean. When sailing out to sea, all responsibility for the crew's safety and arrival at the final destination rests on the captains shoulders. by: rawhitiroa Views[1729]
