Finally saw the Picasso Exhibition at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. It's on until 25 March, 2012 and it's fantastic. Go see it!
The new Director of the Gallery is Dr Michael Brand, consulting director of the Aga Khan Museum (currently under construction in Toronto) and the former director of the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles.
The Art Gallery of New South Wales kindly supplied the image for me to post. www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/

FlickerFest: A Brush With The Tenderloin

Great series of films at FlickerFest on a perfect summer day at Bondi. Loved A BRUSH WITH THE TENDERLOIN from San Francisco, written, directed and produced by Paige Bierma. http://www.facebook.com/abrushwiththetenderloin

Loving Berlin, Hackescher Markt, Adina Apartments, Emirates & International Rail

Travelling in Germany and France recently, working on our film documentary. We flew to Frankfurt from Sydney with Emirates and stayed at the gorgeous Adina Apartment Hotel Frankfurt, on the banks of the River Main. Then took the train to Eisenach – we had International Rail Passes and it was great to travel as we pleased on the German ICE trains and the TGV in France.
Made it to Berlin for a couple of days and stayed at Adina Apartment Hotel Checkpoint Charlie. Loved walking to see all the sights and the exciting Hackescher Markt area, now with its own new oh-so-cool Adina. Must have been inspirational, I've written two stories for magazines already!
