Don Costa


Canon 1Ds II with 16-35mm f2.8, available window light.

A trip to the post office today to clear out our mail box in the hope that someone may have sent us a cheque was not the success that we might have wished for. But there was this one interesting looking packet that we couldn't wait to tear open and have a look at the carefully packed contents. Our good friend Don Costa, musician and all round good guy has just released another CD and the outback photography team were lucky enough to get an autographed copy forwarded to us by Don and his fabulous wife Anette.

Robyn and I shot with Don earlier in the year. The image above was shot in the front window of the recording studio where Don was busy recording. Subsequently used inside the CD cover, it is one of my favorite images from the shoot. Using only available light coming through a window, the light pattern across the wall coming from sun reflecting off a parked van outside. Immediately after getting this shot we moved out into a narrow lane way, complete with cobble stones and great back lighting created by a quickly fading sun and shot the cover picture for this latest CD.

Jock

Canon 1Ds MII 24-70mm. iso 1600

If you ever visit White Cliffs, in far North Western New South Wales, you must look up Jock. He is easy to find, just ask any local. Jock will take you through his underground dugout which he calls a museum. It is in fact a very large dugout with many rooms all packed with relics from the mining days. I'd guess that Jock has at least, one of just about everything, stashed away in his underground home. The real treasure though is Jock himself. He is entertainment plus, loud, jovial and your guaranteed to leave with a smile on your face. Chances are you'll learn a bit as well.
