Video from Mr. Adam Straney, WIN News Weather Presenter, showing my photo (below).
June 2022, I was published, given image credit, and acknowledged in this book. I provided 64 photos of Risdon Cove. This one was chosen.
December 1995, former Tasmania Liberal Premier Ray Groom handed back Risdon Cove to those claiming to be descendants of Tasmania’s Aborigines, based upon a damned lie to make Tasmanians feel guilty.
Yes indeed. Many pretending to be historians and professors of Aboriginal history have spruiked a lie about a massacre than never happened. They based it upon eye-witness testimony given at the Broughton Committee, in March 1830, by a person claiming to be Edward White.
The “real” Edward White and the ONLY ONE who could have been in the colony, actually never completed the journey from Ireland on the ship called the Atlas (1). This book proves it, with documented evidence.
These university professors never checked the original documents.
I am proud to be acknowledged for my contribution and for my photograph to be published on page 149. I am proud to have been a part of exposing the lie.

This is a First Edition of the Standard Catalog of Cessna Single Engine Aircraft, by Jim Cavanagh and Jones Publishing. Unbelievably, I was asked by the author and Jones Publishing if I would contribute to the book. And, though there are other articles written with the titled, “Poor Man’s P-51”, in reference to the low wing Cessna A188B, mine was the first.
My photo is featured in the month of December 2021.

On November 5, 2020 “Mercury” newspaper Reporter, Jack Evans, wrote in Lifestyle, Snapper’s ‘freezing’ night ends with a winner shot
How a mad midnight dash to the beach ended in national recognition for a self-professed Tassie photography “geek”.
Experienced former army helicopter pilot, Boeing 747-400 jumbo jet captain and more recently a Central Highlands councillor, Robert Cassidy knows weather better than most.
It is that knowledge and observational skill that put Mr Cassidy in the right place at the right time earlier this year.
“I spent 36 years as a pilot so I had to study weather – and experience it,” he said.
“I can’t get it out of my system. I need to know what the weather is going to be, every day.”
His passions – like all good things – come in threes; flying, weather and photography.
“I love photography. I guess you’d call me somewhat of a geek, I’m fascinated by the science of photography,” Mr Cassidy said.
“I try to push my limits, I’m always trying something new, something different.” . . . etc.

My photo was selected and published for the ABC- Tasmania Weather Calendar 2021. See the Photo, below-

It is called “acting”.
Used Nikon D3 with Nikon DC-Nikkor 135mm f/2D, f/11.0, 1/125sec, ISO320, SB-800 Flash
This photo was used on pages 44 and 45 of ANCR magazine, merely cropped.

In July 2020, I was published in “Australian National Construction Review” magazine, pages 44 to 49, consisting of nine images, for Royal Hobart Hospital, which was a John Holland Fairbrother Joint Venture. For this particular photo shoot, I received an unsolicited call by ANCR magazine staff to test my interest and availability, then organise the shoot. That is, I did not call them. They called me. The caller had seen my website, as I was told. I created these images, on 15 and 18 December 2019. As I was told in telephone conversation, I would be the first photographer on the construction site. I believe that I was the first Photographer to photograph the new K-Block of the Royal Hobart Hospital, because I had to personally sweep dirt and construction debris off the floor to get clean shots. In fact, the facility was still under construction. In addition to payment, it was discussed with the caller from ANCR that I receive a printed copy of the magazine, received, 2 November 2020, by Express Post. Though I brought a variety of equipment for this shoot, I simply used a Nikon D3 and Nikon 28mm f/1.4D lens, mostly handheld. I covered 10 floors, room-by-room and six acres in floor area. The photos that appeared in the magazine would suggest I am not a photographer, but a photographic-magician! I pulled a rabbit out of the hat.
I have been internationally published and paid for my photography, for nearly three decades.
I own a few different focal length Nikon professional Perspective Control lenses, ideal for architectural photography, to include PC-Nikkor 28mm 1.3.5 AiS, PC-Nikkor 35mm 1:2.8 AiS, PC-Nikkor 45mm 1.2.8D, PC-Nikkor 85mm 1:2.8D. And, if you require square format, then I offer a Hasselblad PC-MUTAR, with a Hasselblad 503CWD.
When you need a professional architectural Photographer, you can be guaranteed of professional results (photographic magic!), even if it means I have to sweep the floor to get the job done. I don’t ask a lot, just to get paid on time and a copy of my work, in print.
“The Examiner” newspaper – My photo accompanying the ‘Required generosity’ article
Front Page News. That is my photographic work!
I decided to bring my Nikon D3 to the ANZAC Day dawn service at Gretna, Tasmania, at the last minute. My photo made the front page of the Derwent Valley Gazette newspaper, Wednesday, May 1, 2019. The bugler is Viv Curtain. I used a fill-flash technique, +3EV, with a Nikon SB-800 Flash, ISO640, 1/125sec, and f/4.0
It was still before sunrise and almost insufficient ambient illumination to focus accurately and I was facing in an easterly direction. Sometimes you get lucky.
Yesterday, was truly a proud moment when the State Premier of Tasmania, Will Hodgman, officially recognised others and me for our contributions to the creation of this book, “The Gardens” – Bicentennial Book. I contributed a couple photos. The photo of the purple flower (Anemone Coronaria) was chosen.
The book is available at the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens Visitor Centre shop and online from Thursday 7th December

I have been trying for a few years to get paid work published by Tasmania’s primary newspaper “The Mercury”. The Photo Editor, Mr. Richard Jupe, emailed me to ask if I would take photographs at Boyer Oval of the New Norfolk Eagles to be published in “The Derwent Valley Gazette”: Saturday, April 22, 2017, Saturday July 19, 2017, Saturday July 26, 2017, and the “Mercury” newspaper, Sunday, September 3, 2017. I submitted ten photographs, of my choosing, for each of these editions. These were selected.

Recently, I had an ad for the Australasian Golf Museum, with my photos published in the “TASMANIA” magazine. Issue 3 2017.
Ad for Australiasian Golf Museum Images _RLC8863 and _RLC8927
I submitted the following monochrome image to the staff of the “Mercury” newspaper, making inquiry if they would like to use it for any article they may write commemorating Waddamana Power Station’s 100 year anniversary, come May 6, 2016. I received a call from the newspaper asking if I could submit the colour version of the photo. My photo was published accompanying the newspaper article, Saturday, April 30, 2016. A copy of the newspaper is below the monochrome photo.
Last night, 14 March 2016, my photo of cumulo-nimbus clouds and a rainbow over Dunalley Bay was featured on the ABC Channel 2 Weather broadcast.
Recently, I was published in the Derwent Valley Gazette Hamilton Show reportage.
Last night, 7 March 2016, my photo was featured on the ABC Channel 2 Weather broadcast. I wanted to show how dry it has become, though there were heavy clouds on the horizon. This same photo was featured in the Mercury newspaper. Nothing better than media coverage.
The following series of photos were posted onto the Governor of Tasmania website.
Recently, I was published in the Derwent Valley Gazette for a political reportage snapshot and will be published again, this week.
Recently, I submitted a photo to The Mercury newspaper Editor. I was contacted by the sub-Editor, who replied, “I really like your photograph . . . I reckon your picture and the story about your Sunday drive would be a great one . . . Would you like to write a Talking Point article like this to go with the pictures?” It evolved to what you see below, though what I really want is to become a photo-jopurnalist for the newspaper.
I submitted a couple photos to ABC television, Channel 2, Hobart. I was contacted by a staff member from ABC television who wrote in an email reply, “We will use it on Thursday night on the 7pm TV news weather photo feature.” Actually, another photo of mine was broadcast, subsequently. I took a photo of my beautiful Panasonic Viera TX-26LXD television set, that someone had discarded and I rescued, along with its Remote. It works perfectly. I enjoy watching it than my more expensive Samsung. The photo is here:
This is one of two pages of photos that were published in a printed magazine, June/July 2015 issue. Got paid, too, even better. Why did the Editor choose those photos, I am not sure, but he was happy and it is always important to make the Editor happy. The first time I was published, in 1992, that Editor wrote to me (before email) to tell me my article (with photos) put his magazine on the map, because he had received correspondence from around the world. He invited me to become a Staff Writer/Photographer, so I did, for about six years.
RACT “Journeys” Magazine June/July 2015
I have been trying, since 24 February 2014, to be published in this glossy magazine, that I have been told thatb the magazine “tends to stay on shelves and coffee tables, in Tasmanian hotels and cafes, for many years.” I have submitted a wide variety of images, previously. Yesterday, 22 March 2017, whilst getting my eyes checked, my wife went to our favourite Hobart news agent Liverpool/Murray Streets to buy a copy of the “TASMANIA 40?South” magazine, which I had not seen, when a gentleman in Brisbane who saw the magazine article called to compliment me on my article and photos. When my wife showed me what the Editor and Publisher had done with the five photos and article I had sent them, it brought tears to my eyes. What is important to know about this is; these photos were taken with an long obsolete Nikon D3x professional camera (not ideally suited to Night or Astrophotography, due to its limited ISO and poor Noise handling capability) with a Nikon AF-Nikkor 28mm f/1.4D lens attached. This powerfully demonstrates what IS possible with Nikon photographic equipment, in the right hands.

December 1, 2012, it was announced in the newspaper that I had won my first Photography Competition. This photo is on permanent exhibit in the lobby of a government enterprise. Additionally, this is the first public exhibition of my photography. It can be seen here.

My photo is the large monochrome, at the top, in the lobby of TasWater, since November 2012. I was the first photo competition I had entered and it won First Prize, “hands down”, according to one Judge on the panel.

January 4, 2013, two of my photos had been published in The Global Times – Shanghai Metro section. The Blarney Stone, one of five Irish pubs, in Shanghai, has closed its doors for the last time, after eleven years. Saint Patrick’s day just won’t be the same More here.
