Sydney Photoblogger Meetup
I met up with the Sydney photobloggers group at The Art Gallery of New South Wales on Saturday. I photographed my self above with James who organised the meet. This was actually the first time I've been to the AGNSW and came away from it impressed with both the collection and the space (it really reminded me of a miniature Art Institute of Chicago in terms of the architecture.) I saw and liked a lot of Australian artists that I hadn't previously seen (I didn't note the artists' names, but will next time I promise.)
This was also my first big outing with the new Crumpler bag. It performed as well as I had expected - easy in and out, nice big strap and shoulder pad. The Department posted a great photo of my bag hard at work while I was having a long look at some art.
The rest of the photos are on flickr

I loved the Art Gallery of NSW when I visited Sydney, so much so that I went twice in a couple of days. As Brett Whiteley is my absolute favourite artist ever, I would have loved to visit the Brett Whiteley studio in Surry Hills, but unfortunately we weren't there on the weekend, when it opens. I listed some of my favourite works from the AGNSW in a blog post at the time.

Brett Whitely (the match sticks & big blue painting near the entrance). Sidney Nolan, Arthur Boyd, Jeffrey Smart, Margaret Preston and now my mind is blank and can't think of any names.
