  • 2020 WISPAA Entry

    April 27, 2020

    I’m making only a single entry to the 2020 WISPAA Awards, but it’s one of my favourite sport photos I’ve ever taken. It is, in fact, two photos stacked on top of each other. The two locations of the touch judge in the foreground illustrate the moment of time that passed between the two exposures, while the action on the field captures the reaction of Australia’s Julia Robinson the moment she knew she’d been tackled – and then the aftermath of the tackle itself.

    Catherine Anjo of Papua New Guinea saves a try with an athletic ankle tackle of Australia’s Julia Robinson at the Rugby League 9s World Cup – 19 October 2019 at Bankwest Stadium, Parramatta.

    Thinking fondly of days spent with Snaps, wandering without a destination, avoiding work that I can no longer evade.

    Places like Horseshoe Bend can be difficult to appreciate. While it is inarguably beautiful, it’s also packed with tourists who make it difficult to enjoy the scene. Some are lovely folks like this couple, who patiently awaited their turn at the railing for this photo opportunity. Others are impatient and walk off trail for their photo (past signs asking them not to do exactly that), ruining things for future visitors while also putting their lives at unnecessary risk. There will be positive outcomes of social distancing (be they greater or fewer than the negative ones) and I’m hoping that one will be an end to such gross behaviour out in the wild.

    It’s wild to see this many planes parked on the tarmac – especially the 747s and A380s. We aren’t leaving the house, of course, so this sight (and the massively reduced air traffic) are our little glimpse into a changed world. Stay safe.

    Hard to believe that only two weeks ago The Girl and I were part of a record crowd at the MCG to watch the Australian Women’s Cricket Team win the T20 World Cup – a crowd which is now temporarily illegal!

    Hope everybody is staying safe out there.

    From my honeymoon with The Girl. I was still learning my DSLR but every now and again I got lucky.

    Not as lucky as I was to marry The Girl, though.
