While in Mudgee we had the great good fortune to hook up with Peter (father of forum member Belle) who is quite a character. Not only did he and Sheryl (?) invite us into their fascinating home, but Peter showed off some of his amazing handiwork to us. Some samples:

Some great shots there, Peter. First and last are classic.

You have done well again Peter. First and last are great shots of Belle's father, an amazing person.

Nice colours on the door.

The FE on the van does not quite work for me on this one. Not sure if it's because the front and back are missing

cheers,

André

Absolutely beautiful shots!
You captured him so well, I'll have to pass them on to him.

that 1st one is a great portrait Peter, one that tells a story

I really like the 1st and 2nd shots here. The first is a really good portrait but it might have been better if his face was not right in the photo's centre. Really good colours and shape on the 2nd one, it might have make another good background for the artist's portrait.

I agree with some of the other comments and prefer the 1st and 2nd pic out of the bunch

colorful fella :shock:

Peter those are priceless. Love them all, exactly what to me colour photography is all about - colour. How often we forget that.

First photo for me.

That BBQ that Peter made and showed us at the yellow house was quite a novelty.

Wonderful.

I love them. There is so much character there, in everything from the clothes he wears to the colour of his door. Walking to a different beat. Great shots Peter.

Great stuff Peter, I'd been wondering when you were going to post some Mudgee shots, and you certainly haven't disappointed. Inspiring stuff to be surround by so much colour, character and art!

Edit : Thanks Geoff, corrected the typo.. :oops:

wow great colours and great caracter. he looks like a fun person. like his van, im sure it must attacked some attention.

I think the first shot could be better if peter was more to the right and so centre.

thanks for sharing

Absolutely fantastic series of shots, Peter.

Love them all but the first one of Belle's dad is just priceless. Love the expressions, sharpness, colour, ambience etc, etc of these pics.

Very, very nice indeed.

Cheers

What a character. Looks like a very interesting bloke. Car art

These are just great!
I'm off to bed now but am inspired (yet again)........think I better smoke a joint tomorrow and take photos :lol:

I'm considering moving to Nimbin after seeing these.
Cool.

Great shots. Excellent shots, though the van doesn't really hit the mark for me ...

Posted: **Fri Jun 16, 2006 6:23 pm**

Thanks for the feedback and comments on these images. I must say Peter was the most willing subject for a shot I've ever encountered. He got the whole idea of what was wanted and had the patience to deal with a whole stack of people all wanting him to "look at me".

Terrific colour Peter. #1 is an excellent portrait
cheers
