Look out for much more happening with my work and Westpac soon!

Oh and... the exhibition finishes tomorrow Thursday 3 June to move onto....

After greeting thousands of fans in Brisbane and Melbourne, as part of the Ella Bache Welcome Home Tour, Jessica is now sailing back to her home and mine, Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast.

It is my greatest pleasure to have been asked by the organisers to provide my photography for the Mooloolaba Yacht Club and the official function on Sunday 6 June.

My work will be adorning the wall spaces and will showcase the beautiful Sunshine Coast for the world to see.

When I was there earlier this week planning my exhibition the amount of organisers planning Jessica's homecoming was huge!!

Jessica and her crew are scheduled to sail past Caloundra at 10.00am on Sunday morning, then Point Cartwright and on to Alexandra Headland by 12.30pm, before sailing into Mooloolaba Harbour, doing a tour around the canals then berthing at the Mooloolaba Yacht Club.

See you at the Yacht Club on Sunday! :)

Photography Lessons

Sunshine Coast

Let me take you on a journey to teach you how to take that perfect photograph for your wall.

Two Locations available.

And when you are finished your lesson if you need help with Photoshop and organising your photos I can also help!

Here's what Janelle said about her lesson:
"I would like to Thank you for such a wonderful day. The experience I gained from walking and working with you was amazing. You have a relaxed teaching manner that enables people to feel comfortable.
You opened my eyes to see rather than just observe.
From the very first hello you were welcoming and engaging. You made me feel comfortable and excited about the day. Until today I feared landscape photography. Now I'm going out to do more.
Tracy, thank you for giving me the confidence to give it a go.
I would encourage anyone interested in learning or improving take a lesson with Tracy. She's an amazing lady and an amazing photographer." ~ Janelle

Seeking Sponsorship for my Photographic Project entitled "Herstory ~ Kwinana Capturing the Beauty of Indigenous Women."

So, I went to Broome, Western Australia in October last year and photographed around the area and fell in love. I wanted to go back which I did in March and spent a day on a shoot around Bunbury.

On the way over in March, I watched the movie 'Bran Nue Dae' and it inspired me to create a project where I take photographs of beautiful indigenous women in narrative photography. I have an indigenous friend with family all over WA and asked her whether she would like the idea and help. Well she did.

Then I thought about creating books, an exhibition and going right into the story of 'Women's Business' from my viewpoint with the Women and also capture the landscape.

And... 'Herstory ~ Kwinana' was born.
The idea in it's entirety is to have photographic project where I capture the women in their natural environment creating a photographic book, story of their lives, a photographic exhibition and ideally to have a cinematographer film the whole experience and then we have a documentary and a series of DVD's etc etc.

We have support from Indigenous women for the project and you can view the whole concept, plan and support letters on the website at http://www.herstoryofaustralia.com I am seeking sponsorship support of in kind sponsorship or monetary assistance for 3 to 4 weeks from Friday 16 July 2010 of:

1. Transportation: 4wd vehicle/s
2. Communication Devices: Satellite Phone, GPS's etc
3. Camping Equipment or Accommodation Assistance
4. Flights to Darwin or Broome

This 3 to 4 week expedition will visit areas in the Kimberley and I will fit in as much photography as I can in that time and I will also be 'Youtubing' my progress.
Ideally, the film crew accompanying me on this expedition would be advantageous, however it is not essential.

In return for your sponsorship, I will emblazon your logo and information you suggest throughout the photography, exhibiton, Youtubes, website and photo book. Any DVD's and documentaries created will also have your logo on board as Sponsor.

With my international status as a renowned photographer I also have many linkages to national and international media outlets and will be creating quite abit of publicity due to the originality and importance of this project. I also have a huge social networking following and website presence of my own where last year (2009) my website reached 5 million hits.

As you will appreciate the 16th of July is not too far away, so it would be sensational if you can help or know anyone that can I would love to have them contact me asap.

Other sponsorship has been requested through QANTAS & Virgin Blue for flight assistance, and Nikon Australia for photographic equipment.

I HAVE to do this project!!
