Geoff is now in remission and looking stronger each week. He recently appeared on ABC TV Stateline in South Australia in a segment on his up-coming poetry/photographic exhibition with leading Adelaide photographer Randy Larcombe. Here's a link to the segment

If you missed The Advertiser on the Saturday the 23rd (SA Weekend Magazine ) Check it out here 'Going the distance: NO SURRENDER' 

If you are in Adelaide look out for Waltzing with Jack Dancer, a collaborative display of Geoff's poems of survival coupled with graphic photographic images taken over the past year by leading Adelaide photographer Randy Larcombe. This amazing exhibition will be opened by the Honorable Justice Christopher Kourakis on Friday 29th May, 2009 to coincide with World No Tobacco Day. The exhibition will run for a month in the 'Art For A Cause' Gallery, Grenfell Centre, 25 Grenfell Street, Adelaide.

This image of Geoff  with his throat stapled after his neck dissection will feature in the exhibition and was an Open Semi-Finalist in the 2009 Moran Contemporary Photographic Prize.
