Cairns Photographic Exhibition – Rutherford International

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

On Friday night Bob and I attended the official opening of Steve Rutherford’s brand new photographic exhibition “The Colourful Icons of Cairns”. The exhibition is part of the Cairns Festival celebrations and events. Steve is a multi award winning international landscape photographer who lives at Palm Cove.

What a great thing it is for Cairns to have this talented international photographer based and exhibiting here in the Far North.

Cairns Mayor, Val Schier formally opened the exhibition, while the event was MC’ed by International Business Author Andrew Griffiths.

Steve and Tanya are friends of Bob and I, 4 years ago I photographed their wedding! Steve and Tanya also acted as our support crew recently on our microlight trip to the tip of Cape York.

“The Colourful Icons of Cairns” is a series of 12 images, the theme is “People, places and culture from the Far North, showcased in a different and intriguing light”. There is also a large number of Steve’s award winning images on display in various forms, including huge wall paper pieces and glowing panels…you will have to visit the exhibition to see this amazing style of displaying images!

Steve and Tanya have been working furiously since they returned from Cape York, only 8 weeks before the exhibition opening! They have done an amazing job to get it all finished and work through all the bits and pieces which inevitably arise when organising such an event in a short period of time!

As part of the exhibition, Steve will be holding free workshops and information sessions about his work. Please visit the exhibition to find out details of these workshops. If you are interested in photography and want to learn more, then Steve is your man!

Congratulations to Steve and Tanya on the launch of this fabulous Photographic Exhibition, well done, you have good reason to be very proud of your efforts!
