Singleton the Heart of the Hunter

– Photographs by Donna Ernst Donehue

Donna has lived her whole life in Singleton, surrounded by the rhythms of country life.

With a deep connection to the land and community, she captures the everyday beauty of rural life — open paddocks, soft light, and the changing moods of the seasons. Her photographs reflect a familiarity that only comes from years of belonging — a quiet appreciation for the places many pass by, but few truly see.

Maitland – Where history lives

– Photographs by Michael Kelly

Maitland is a place rich in history — from its rural surrounds to the character-filled streets of the city centre — and capturing that sense of place is what inspires his work.

With no formal training, his photography is driven purely by passion and a deep appreciation for the natural world. He is drawn to the ever-changing light and colours that only nature can provide, finding beauty in everyday moments and quietly transforming them into something memorable.

Through his lens, Maitland is not just seen, but felt — a landscape of history, mood, and subtle detail waiting to be noticed.
