Exhibition Opening & Sales
After a 34hr flight complimented with a 10hr delay. I made it home in time to set up my exhibition (with the help of my fantastic parents) and attended the launch feeling excited and dazed with jet lag (Can’t believe I lasted til 2pm).
Thanks to everyone that attended and all the lovely comments.

Upcoming Photography Competition List for June & July 2009.
For all my Photo Frenzy friends below is a collection of photography competitions I’ve been collecting recently. If you’ve go some fantastic work stashed away somewhere, as I know most of you do, I thought this list would come in handy to win some extra cash and opportunities x
'Shop Boxes' is my favourite image :)
A good friend Shona Henderson ask me which piece in the ‘Art of Travel, India’ I liked the best. Which I answered ‘Shop Boxes.’ Unfortunately I couldn’t entirely share with her why I thought it was the best, as the images in this Blog don’t give you the opportunity to look up close to the images and explore the deep individualism of each image. So I though, as I explain to her, I would write some notes on my favourite piece and why.
Twitter Tshirts
So new discovery of Interest. Twitter has a competition at twitter.threadless.com where you can submit tweets to be printed on a T-Shirt. And Twitterers vote on the winning one. Its cool and creative and something to do in your spare time.
I’ve submitted ‘I tweet, therefore I am’ & ‘If its not on Twitter, it never Happened.’
The first on is a modern day Descartes hehe and the second is a play on the photography theory of if you never photographed it you never really know if it happened.
You can vote for me at the following two links: http://thrdl.es/~/b3W http://thrdl.es/~/b3J
Why 'The Art of Travel'
The name of this exhibition isn’t my cocky intention to state I am representing the ‘all in all’ of the art in travel. I actually have no idea how to name this series but I wasn’t quiet into the ‘Untitled series’ form of titling yet. ‘The Art of Travel’ is actually a very inspiring and influential book and dvd by Alain De Botton, that I read while studying last year. It’s a must read/watch/laugh if you’re ever confused about traveling and/or why to do it.
Preparing for Exhibition
I gave myself 6 weeks to print and prepare for my exhibition and this is how it went.
First priority was to have all my collages finalized and ready for printing. Since I work with such large images I needed a much faster computer than my lovely imac. So I hired a wizz bang 8gb ram PC from Abacus computers and tied myself to my chair for three weeks for some quality Photoshop and coffee time. Eventually the work was done for all but three images, which don’t fit in the exhibition space anyways so I prioritized to complete them at a later date. I was happy very happy with my 9 completed works through and after a weekend off I rushed them to the printers first thing Monday morning.
Introduction to Me, that is Bec Lee.
Hi, Wow, always great to come to an absolute blank on your first ever Blog. Especially when it’s on yourself. ummmm Well I intend to use this blog for discussing thoughts on books, artworks and general jibber jabber on whats it all about. Then I’ll do the hokey pokey and I’ll turn around cosss That’s what its all about. According to Jimoen anyway. My main passions in life is Art and Photography. I am an emerging artist with my first Solo Exhibition coming up on 22nd June 2009 (How Fecken Exciting). The work I’ll be displaying is a visual photographic study on the Travellers Gaze.
