I was supposed to have an exhibition in Sydney Australia this June, full of my music photography....guess what...I STILL AM! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤯" title="Explodierender Kopf" aria-label="Emoji: Explodierender Kopf"> It opened this week. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⚡️" title="Hochspannungszeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Hochspannungszeichen"> We worked remotely, through mad time zones, 1am meetings and sheer "show must go on mentality"....COVID COULDN& #39;T STOP US!!....
....we had been planning this exhibition since last year. The @acphub had invited me to collaborate with an Australian Music Photographer, Maclay Heriott (he& #39;s on insta http://instagram.com/maclayheriot ">https://instagram.com/maclayher... ).

Obviously I can& #39;t be there, which is killing me. Maclay and Allison did an amazing job installing my vision. I hope one day that I can actually meet my new friends in person. In the mean time, if you& #39;re in Darlinghurst, Sydney please head to the show and let me know how it looks!
or tag your Sydney friends, or Sydney journos in this thread too! I& #39;d love some feedback. Be my eyes!! xx Thank you Alli and Maclay for being the only project in 2020 that didn& #39;t cancel on me. You were the one thing that kept my spirits up in the darkest days. xx Grá....
