"Sisters" by Caroline Telfer was nominated in the Children of The World category
I received a nice email this week notifying me that three of my images had been nominated for the Photography Masters Cup International Color Awards. They didn't receive any honours, but being nominated is still an achievement for a small photography studio in Darkan.
Have a look at the winners gallery and see some of the best photography around... LINK HERE but be warned, you could browse for hours looking at the photos!
Dear Caroline,

I try to enter as many online photography competitions as I can, because it is good to challenge myself to create the best photos that I can. Of course I am not very well organised and often miss deadlines. When I do enter it is always an honour to be nominated as a finalist, or on the rare occasion to win an award. I'm still trying to win a big prize, but how can I when I missed the deadlines for both the Moran Contemporary Photographic Prize and the Josephine Ulrick and Win Schubert Photography Award? Maybe next year I'll enter the big ones!!
 
 
Last year I had the pleasure of photographing the Ipsen family for Meat and Livestock Australia's Feedback magazine. The January/February 2013 edition is arriving in farmers' mailboxes around the country this week. And what a surprise for young Evie - she is a cover girl!! The story was about her Dad and his kelso sheep, but he is relegated to somewhere deep in the magazine!
I love photographing farm families and when I saw the lamb I knew I had to have a photo of the kids feeding it. The farm near Manjimup is very picturesque, with tall trees and lakes with rolling hills. I'm going back next week to photograph the broccoli harvest.
 
 
A farming family together on their farm, working together to secure their future. Three generations of a family together.
I love these scenarios and was privileged to photograph the Lubcke family recently on their farm near Darkan. I went out to the farm while the teenage kids were on holiday from boarding school and did some shots in the paddock, then went back later to photograph working in the sheep yards.
These are the sorts of photographs I want to capture for the farm albums I am promoting. They will be more than just photos of the farm. They will be real treasured memories for future generations, whether they are still on the farm, or whether the farm has been sold and the future generations have moved on.
