2023 Qld Variety bash
2023 Qld Variety Bash - Toowoomba to Cairns via NQ Rock'n Country
15 - 24th August 2023
Welcome Bashers!
I've created this page primarily for those NEW Bashers coming on board this year, to explain ahead of time, what I do as MEDIA C - Event Photographics, but for the regular 'old time' Bashers I also want to keep you in the loop of what's happening for me this year.
I've been photographing the Qld Variety Bash since 2006 and I absolutely love what I do!! A couple of years during COVID I wasn't able to make it across the border from NSW, but I've certainly seen a HUGE amount of QLD over the last 17 years thanks to Variety :-)
My role is to take photos throughout the event, and afterward, create a beautiful full-color coffee table book, called BASH MEMORIES. It's a fabulous tool for showcasing the event when sharing your experiences with others, or just simply a special memento of your own ' bucket list ' experiences to keep on the coffee table. I also make personalized Bash car wall & desk calendars; personalized Sponsor Thank You's; customized Bash Car photo flasks, white china mugs with photos, and fridge magnets.
After production and mailing expenses, profits are donated back to Variety.
Unfortunately this year due to a very unexpected health issue, I will be unable to be on the Bash, however the fabulous Team Johnson ( Nathan & Erin ) who stepped up during Covid, will again be covering bases for me and taking the photographs during the Bash..they will be on location in Toowoomba at Registration with samples of previous years' products and you can place orders with them, during that time, or better still get in EARLY and order online ahead of the event!
I will still be creating products post Bash, I just can't be present for the actual Bash, as I have to have some medical procedures which sadly clash with the timing. It's also my daughter's wedding at the end of August, so a bit of a double whammy as I REALLY can't afford not to be fit and well for such a fabulous milestone in life :-)
As you can appreciate, it's a BIG job to capture absolutely everything that happens on a Bash, so if you think you have a cracker shot or want it included on your calendar/book/mug, etc send it to me via text or email during or straight after the Bash. admin@eventphotographics.com.au
The other options is get an EARLYBIRD order in before the Bash starts.... Earlybird orders help enormously to know ahead of time which cars to focus most on :-) Go to the Gallery section of this site for the 2023 Online Order Page.
I post up a Gallery of photos after the event, and if you decide you might like a personalized memento, and you never got around to ordering, you can still order online, but remember early birds do get the best shots!
Below are photo examples of the many different products I have created over the years, for various events, to give you an idea of what I do.
Needless to say I'm utterly gutted to not be catching up with everyone in person this year, but BASH MEMORIES 2023 will prevail !I will be with you all every step of the way in Spirit :-)
Warm Regards
Trish Reed
