Done it Again

Well I hear you say "how did you fair in the Community Newspaper Awards"? and my answer would be..... FANTASTIC. I scored the "Dick Graig Memorial Award" for best photographer for a second year running. I am stoked about that as I had thought there were a few gaps in my portfolio but it looks as though the judge still saw fit to pat me on the back.

Below is a small preview form my portfolio I submitted for the competition.






Its just a bit Classical

Well as promised, here are a few pics from my latest photo shoot. There are no messages here, it was just a case of taking pictures for pictures sake, for fun and the pure enjoyment of it. Many thanks to Hannah and Georgia for showing up (had me going there for a while) and putting up with my bossy instruction.






Many thanks to Lee Clark from Whakatane High for the loan of the violin.

Will I Retain My Title???

Well it's that time again, yes its the annual Community Newspaper Awards. I have been informed I am a finalist which means I have won something, but what?? Guess I will have no wait until Saturday night to find out. I have a person on the inside ready to squeal when the results are released.

ALSO

For all of those image starved watchers out there, I have two photo shoots booked this weekend. Yes two on the same day so will have to be on the ball I reckon. I have acquired the services of two first time but keen gorgeous young ladies to who have volunteered to suffer the stress and strain for the sake of great pictures (fingers crossed). So tune in sometime early next week for a sample of how it all went.
