Sometimes the planets line up...


Last year I shot a function for a client. They had a 1920's themed night and a significant number of people got right into it...

At one stage I walked out of the function to the foyer and this gent was standing in exactly the right light. It was a "hair standing up on the back of your neck" moment and I just had to capture it. The combination of the right light, the right mood, the right gear and the right face just worked perfectly...

This has to be one of my favourite images from 2009... I'm going to get permission to use it in my advertising.

It's an amazing world...

I just looked at my Clustrmaps page and found one little dot in the middle of Brazil, roughly in the middle of the Amazon... Isn't the world amazing...?

I wonder what they looked at? Did they just surf blogs to find mine? Did they have a reason to look?

I'm still amazed the a Google search for "weird/scary dog" has my blog entry listed at number 3 in the world!!!

I've got big plans for 2010. In no particular order yet I'm going to pull my finger out and get my photography business happening, I'm going to have a pinhole photography exhibition in a gallery, I'm going to make photography a full time occupation (as opposed to a full time dream)...

Now to plan it all out and start working...

Enjoy my photos as they pop up... Happy 2010...!

New Year Storms...

I had some time away over the new year and on New Years Eve and again on the night of the first of January we had some storms in the evening. On new years eve we had lots of rain but the storms on the first didn't rain on us but were all around us and the buildup was spectacular. Other farms in the area must have had lots of rain! The cloud formations, the colours of the clouds and the speed at which everything changed was a wonder to behold...

I haven't adjusted colour in any of these images...
