Ev gets geared for Chinese New Year


I took these pics early this morning of a delighted Ev in his outfit which he wore to school today for their Chinese New Year celebrations and thought I'd use a mo during lunch break to post them - he's on holiday from tomorrow until Tuesday and delighted about that too.

Zara and Ariel - black and whites


Your Aussie cousins are very lekker little kids, full of life and love.

Melbourne and one of Ange


Not sure how well this will format - but I do like this HDR pop art shot - pity little Ariel was not closer and further to the right, but he is still in it making it a whole family photo - and I love Zara's pose, the sky and the raging sunlight over melbourne in the distance - cool

This one was taken by Zara - we were having a cackle about the way she was turning the camera to take a portrait type shot - no idea where she got that from, but she sort of knew she had to do it - came out so nicely - I also processed this pop-art HRD - and yes I did dye my hair white - not entirely sure why - had an hour and a bit to kill and thought I've wanted to do this for 20 years ...


How ripping is this photo!? BOOOM - psychedelic sky - lens flare - Ange on the point of thirds - the watching floodlights - the sun halo - I just DIG it. It's got nothing to do with Aus though - just wanted to put it up.

More with the gel flash







I think I'm going to have to learn some new tricks - pretty restricted to the tungsten blue effect. I think it worked well on these two quite similar portraits of Simon - this is why I can't seem to shake it - it just keeps on delivering.
