One Hoop 2 Far?

Sometimes we get invited to things we would otherwise never get to see. Here is a guy from Canada who is a traditional hoop dancer. Cant say I had ever heard of such a thing but hey, here on is. He was great with a max of 30 hoops hanging off him as he danced around for a group of delighted primary school kids.

Hot in 60seconds.

Well, a dull can turn at any moment. One minute your cleaning the dust off the back of the desk and counting the loose paper clips and the next there's smoke on the Horizon and your off like a rocket and today was no exception. Its important to be ready for anything, have the batteries charged, memory cards clear, and spares loaded into the bag just in case. The last thing a reporter wants is to wait for the photographer to get his stuff together when something happens.

I cant say I have ever had a desk job and would avoid one like the plague. I love what I do and to be able to work in such an unpredictable environment suits me down to the ground.

The above pics were from a car fire in an industrial scrap yard. I managed to get there before the fire service which was a bonus. Details are sketchy but it seems as though someone was cutting parts off the car when fuel ignited resulting in facial burns to the guys face.

Water Water Everywhere.

For those who don't live around here, we have had just a little bit of rain lately, not quite enough for a repeat of a few years ago to cause the destruction Matata suffered, but enough to mess things up a bit.

The unlucky owner of this Mobil servo has had a rather muddy beginning to his day twice in the last week. That's enough to really soil your mood.

Well, I guess she's going no where fast.

The water level may have dropped but this once sedate canal has caused more than a few headaches once logs block the water flow the water spews water and mud into surrounding properties with disastrous results.

All in a days work aye!! Looks to me like a vain attempt to improve drainage on King St.

Uleash the T Bomb.

Well it has been a while but I thought I would treat you all with a few pics from my favorite Model, Tasha. I managed to shoot a few different scenarios and I hope she sees these as welcome additions to her portfolio.

I love using light and sometimes the lack of it to give simple portrait setups some real punch.

Tasha has been begun some training with one of NewZealands top modeling agencies so as time goes on, expect some stunning images from this young woman in the future.
