Trent Parke: The Christmas Tree Bucket, 20 November 2008.

It was made of cardboard. It even had it's own bike chain. Genius.

I watched a man dropping in and axel-stall continuously for 20 minutes. That's all he did on this mini.

Then I took my first Sydney tram for part of my trip to the Australia Center for Photography. This is Erwin Olaf.

This is Derek Henderson.

This is the opening of Trent Parke's show.

The Christmas Tree Bucket.

Trent's brother, Grant, lead me around the show on his Raindeer.

Trent's Christmas tree imported all the way from Adelaide.

This ghostly pose is how Conor wants to be photographed by me, from now on.

Sam Ash!

I think this is Dash's drawing.

Narelle and Trent.

Two days later Trent gave a talk at the ACP. This is the most people I've ever seen at an ACP artist talk. Usually only 15 people turn up. Today it's standing room only. For an introduction Alistair stated that Trent did more for Magnum then Magnum did for Trent. A low murmur broke out throughout the audience.

Trent's becoming a really good story teller.

He spoke without shoes. Fair dinkum.
