Who doesn’t google ones own name every now and than? I did, and look what I found: http://factphotography.com/
Somehow flattering, however I was never asked about this, nor did I agree to Fact Photography representing me in any way. Admittedly my photos that were on display were credited to my name. Unfortunately no reaction to my email with request for information. Ah well, no biggie as long as there are correct referrals.

Another amazing display of culture. This year I even had my own stand to sell some PNG photo’s! Unfortunately I could not have a big supply of prints. If you missed out (some were already sold), it is easy to get a reprint organised, and I can mail it to you. Do not hesitate to contact me. Or, have a look at my other shots, or wait for the 2009 goroka show Gallery to be uploaded (it wont be long.. I promise).
Here is already a first glimpse from today
Goroka Show 2009
The Goroka Show is a cultural event (if not THE cultural event) in PNG where many tribes and clans boast there colours while singing and dancing. PNG is the world’s most culturally diverse nation and the Show is a cultural event where different tribes peform their sing sing (dances and songs) in their particular Bilas (traditional dress). It is arguably the largest gathering of indigenous tribes in the world. The staging of the Goroka Show started back in 1957 at the Independence Park opposite the Goroka Main Market. It was first introduced and organized by Australian patrol officers. Nowadays over 100 tribes from all over Papua New Guinea gather in Goroka for the annual festival of traditional dance on the weekend around Independence Day.

The big smoke. Oh yeah. I’m in Cairns! hehehe. Just a few days for some medical check-ups. But in between appointments I enjoy perfect pothole-less roads, vast supermarkets and massive malls. Oh dear. What does it mean if you start seeing Cairns as a Metropolis? WIth all the goodies I bought, I bet I will have to pay excess luggage fines on my return to the Highlands.
One of my pics was selected to cover of the corporate magazine of GMG Color. It is good to see that a photo from the Goroka Show gets some additional exposure.

Unfortunately WPG2 (the Photo Gallery) does not have a spam filter for comments (unlike my blog). So after tens-of-thousands of Spam comments on my pictures… I had enough. WPG2 does not have a way of deleting all, or multiple comments (?!), and one-by-one deletion would take weeks. So, I hid them, and removed the possibility to comment on pics. Sorry to those of you who actually did leave comments under pictures or the albums. This was much appreciated.
