Star struck! That is how I felt today in the company of the worlds best female surfers on my old stomping ground - Fitzroy Beach - right where I spent a large chunk of my teenage years, any spare sunny afternoon body surfing and sun bathing with my buddies.
To witness these fantastically fit, strong, and smiley young women in action today was so great, perhaps just the nudge I need to get inspired to get my longboard out of it's cover and back into the surf! Time to wash that dust off I think . . . thanks girls.
I was fortunate just recently to spend a day with a young lady who enjoys a little drama . . .
I just cannot walk past a beautiful flower without stopping for a closer inspection.
Unfortuantely I don't always have my camera each time one catches my eye.
I made of note of where I'd seen this camellia tree and managed to get back there a fortnight later and still have a selection of beautiful blooms to choose from - lucky me! Simply beautiful!

Up Up and Away
The new season’s crop of Up River Garlic is now sown and in a very short space of time it is up up and away!
I joined the crew to help with the sowing then returned a couple of weeks later to document the progress in photographs - wow, it looks great and is powering on.
Up River Garlic is a family owned business run from the Summerhayes’ picturesque property on the Deua River, up the Araluen Valley, southern NSW.
Lovely thick braids of fresh garlic will be available in time for Christmas from the Moruya markets!
A few weeks ago I photographed Belinda Hunt, the designer behind the label
Lushington.
I documented the goings on in her studio, the fabrics, the trims, the quirky embroidery designs etc.
Today came the really fun part when we teamed up with model, wigs, props, the whole circus nearly.
7 outfits, 6 hours, 4 locations, 3 wigs - with the end result being some rather . . .
fabulous photographs.
Bravo Belinda and Samantha - Beautiful!

Taranaki was treated to a great show by the dynamic 10-piece group . . .
Batucada Sound Machine at the stunning setting of Pukekura Park's annual Festival of Lights.
I was fortunate to be present to see and hear the show - Brazilian, funk, hip-hop, reggae and Pacific soul influenced musical performance, with vocals in Portuguese, Spanish and English!
Truly a fun night, thanks guys
Recently I had the fun of being the photographer to document a fabulous 1930's Hollywood themed Murder Mystery Party.
In keeping with the theme, I jumped at the chance to play dress ups.
I spent the early part of the evening rubbing shoulders with famous actors, writers, directors and wannabe actresses and then bowed out of the party before I could be implicated.
They were all a highly suspicious bunch - each with a strong motive for being the one who done it!
So just who WAS the murderer? Did the writer do it?
Bravo to Stu for being the brains behind organising such a fabulous fun evening of murder, mayhem, fun and intrigue!
