Just getting ready for my stall tomorrow at the Election Day markets at Curl Curl North School. Would love for you to call in and say hello if you are around. I’m taking free children’s portraits and there will be a gift certificate for a family photo shoot being drawn in the afternoon.
Checking out the surf at South Curly beach. Having some fun with long exposure and light painting at sunrise.
Attended a street photography workshop today in Chatswood run by the SMH Clique team. A great day of learning tips and ideas, and hearing stories from the Fairfax journalist Peter Rae. Always inspiring to spend time with these guys, and they are always so open and sharing with their knowledge.
Each morning the Bold & Beautiful swimmers hit the water to swim between Manly Beach and Shelley Beach. After the storm of last week, the beach exit was pretty gruesome, barefoot through all that rotting seaweed.
I was the photographer for the Manly Soft Sand Classic today and loved watching others exert themselves while I remained behind the lens. I’ve run a half marathon before, but these guys ran 21kms on soft sand. Crazy.
Lots of surfers out this morning trying their luck in the big swells. This guy was graceful in defeat.
We were using some plastic apples as props during the photo shoot today, and Oli was quite keen on having a ‘taste’ of all of them. We had to substitute a real apple as a decoy.
Had a photo shoot today with a set of twin boys and it was a whirlwind of energy, questions and laughs. They have an older brother and sister who are also twins, with all four children having very distinct personalities and looks. All kudos to their parents for always appearing calm and under control.
It’s an intangible thing, but having wonderful neighbours adds such a sense of community and belonging. You know you can rely on them, regardless of the situation. And the added bonus is that all my neighbours have such gorgeous children to photograph!
Last minute check of the laces before kickoff. Love watching early morning soccer games in the sprinkling rain and 10 degrees celsius. Even worse when your son is in goals and your heart lurches every time a striker approaches.
Got to love overseeing homework and some algebraic inequalities after dinner. Not that I can remember how to solve them, but my children don’t know that.
Some huge swell coming thorough Sydney’s beaches today and the surfers are making the most of the big waves. However, I was getting worried about this elderly man trying to swim laps at Dee Why pool. He was continually being swamped and was having difficulty getting to the edge. Luckily he came prepared with his snorkel.
