This is taken in "the zoo" at Deni Ute Muster where over 9000 Utes congregate for 2 days of boyish fun, country music and drinking in Deniliquin,NSW
Mike Reed is extremely well known in Advertising Film Production as a film/video editor but now retired explores opportunities to create more success in photography and the publishing of unique creative photobooks. Always an ardent photographer seeking the odd and quirky moment in this merry go round world or in fact anything that attracts his interest. He collects like a “rag and bone man ‘ images as themes and notions. Seemingly of no value until Mike puts his spin and polish on the photo artefact His books explore the offbeat ideas abounding the back streets and generally as “life is better from behind”
He has had 3 solo exhibitions and produced 6 books so far and has 4 more in different stages.Last September his work was selected by the Editor of “Life Framers” in their 'Street Life' theme, with editor commenting on the 'humorous visual narrative that Mike conjures through sharp timing and a clean composition'
