Garry Trinh might be surprised to be alive, but we’re pretty glad he is. The Sydney-based photographer has been rocking our world for some time now, with his fresh and unique take on everyday surroundings.
Izrock Pressings obviously share our love for Garry’s work, as they have bundled up a collection of his photos into a brand new publication that you can take home with you. Just Heaps Surprised to Be Alive is a limited edition of 100 copies, printed in glorious black and white. Needless to say, these won’t last long, so make haste to the Izrock online store.

It’s a strange moment. The one where you, [insert ‘budding’ or ‘established’ here] photographer, realise that your craft has been frozen in a kind of pseudo time-warp since the 1970s.
We experienced that moment recently while flicking through Starburst – Colour photography in America 1970-1980 and it was a little unnerving. Sure, we’ve had our fair share of technological developments to work with: we’ve got phones that take shots as well as – and sometimes better than – a well-manipulated film SLR. And there’s the Keith-Loutit-esque, time-lapse miniature effect that utilises stills but presents them a video format - so, at the end of the day is it actually classifiable as photography?

Fancy yourself the next Bruce Gilden, David Gibson or Otto Snoek? A burgeoning street-photography talent, bursting at the seams with creative though but with no real idea how to harness said talent to produce something tangible?
Solution: ACP in Sydney is running a 10-week course in street photography. The classes, lead by Sydney photographer Marco Bok, not only teach students the best way to work tacitly in public, they also deal with the all-important issue of overcoming your public-sphere-photography fear.
