It is important to me to be able to offer my clients photo prints that are on the cutting edge of sustainability. As more people move towards a more environmentally conscious lifestyle, companies are able to deliver green options to consumers. As I come across outstanding products, I will be sharing these with you, here on my blog. I was seeking out the most eco way to print my photographs, and this bamboo product sounded fantastic. I decided to try out this new eco style of photo printing. The quality of colour and contrast in this bamboo print really make the image pop What I love: – The print looks really good.

Today is National Sorry Day. This week is Reconciliation Week in Australia. I show my respect for all those who have suffered and those who continue to heal as a result of our country’s past, and the continuing inequalities between black and white Australia. Australia prides itself on being a place of fairness. But our government doesn’t always reflect the values of it’s citizens. Our Constitution still does not recognise the first Australians, and it still allows the States to ban people from voting based on their race. I was shocked and disturbed when I heard this. I support changes to recognise Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islander peoples in our Constitution. RECOGNISE (the people’s movement to recognise ATSI peoples in our Constitution) says that “National Sorry Day is a time to recognise and remember the trauma in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and communities affected by the Stolen Generations policies.” Please take a moment to visit the RECOGNISE website here.
