September 2024 – John McRae Photography & Studio

POWER UP – exhibition and festival at the White Bay Power Station, Rozelle

This weekend, I will be exhibiting several of my photographs at the White Bay Power Station in Balmain (September 20, 21 & 22, 2024), as part of the Power Up Festival. Diverse Sydney artists are showing their recent work, along with a festival of music and food.

My photographic portraits of a solitary figure in a post-industrial space are being featured in a new installation flanked by abandoned machinery. It will be a great event with more that 250 artists and a line-up of artisans, food vendors and craft brewers. Wander through the Pump House and Boiler House to see the Power Up Stage ignite with live music and captivating performances. It is a wonderful opportunity to visit this iconic building near the Anzac Bridge.  Oh … the best bit, it’s free! 

Opening Hours:

Friday 20 September: 10am to 9.30pm

Saturday 21 September: 10am to 9.30pm

Sunday 22 September: 10am to 6pm

New logistics facility at Prestons

A new logistics facility is open for inspection in Prestons. I was commissioned to photograph completed photography of the building which was built by Hansen Yuncken. I also covered an event at the same site, hosted by the developer, 151 Properties.

What is particularly impressive about this structure is the huge awning that stretches over the loading bays, spanning both warehouses. This would have to be one of the largest I have come across.

151 Properties held a presentation for agents that work in this industry to show them around and let the market know that a new, state-of-the-art logistics facility was available for rent. Obviously these guys put the word out and field potential customers for 151 Properties. It goes to show how layered the construction industry is with many stakeholders involved….from the lofty levels of financing and money, to the actual build and project management and deployment….and at any step of the way you can be sure there are a huge number of people and interests involved.

The presentation went well. There were a number of speeches and the visitors were taken on tours of the facility. However the best bit was the hamburger stand and the accompanying coffee stand….breakfast was well taken care of.
