Creating & Capturing Life's Precious Moments
Is it really the end of January already? As Melanie said in her SYW post, it’s going to be another blink and you’ll miss it year! The good news for me is I have just come back from seeing my daughter, a mini-vacation and on Saturday I get to open the studio for workshops and…

It’s such a weird time right now, it’s almost like everyone is holding their breath, waiting to exhale. People seem to be fixating on trivial things, as they don’t want to look at the whole picture. Take this whole tennis thing with Noak, what a joke. The guy thinks he’s royalty and is above the…

Wow! the world is a crazy place. Australia has one of the highest infections rate of Covid at the moment, it’s totally out of control. No one seems to care. It’s no longer a case of if we catch it, but when. Being double or triple vaccinated doesn’t stop you from catching it, only dying…

It’s a whole new bright shiny world, or at least it should be, 5 days in and already the world (or at least Australia) is falling apart!

Only a few days left til the end of 2021, which overall when I look back on it was too bad a year. We actually managed several mini holidays. We finally saw our youngest daughter (and will hopefully see her again in the new year). I taught a bunch of classes online and even managed…

Here are this week’s SYW questions… What really turns your stomach? (politicians aside) Blood and guts are usually the key things that turn my stomach. That or the smell of fish, I really hate the smell of fish, makes me feel all queasy. Whether or not recycling is helpful OR if it’s really far too late…

Does anyone else feel like they’re on a roller coaster or carousel? Things are just getting back to some sort of normal and BAM!!!!!!!!!! Omnicron hits. Seriously? Well, I guess I can safely say the studio is closed for classes as of last Saturday, my last client shoot is this Saturday, I have a ‘play’…

It’s been lovely being out of lockdown, but the weather has turned nasty, like being back in Winter…ahh Melbourne! However, I can’t complain. I finally had my first workshop on the weekend, I had a friend come to stay for a few days. We went out for lunch and dinner (at a restaurant!) and I…

Today is actually Remembrance Day here in Australia, not even a public holiday, just a moment of silence to remember all those who have fallen in war. I stood at the curb of my local shopping centre, waiting for my lift, so yes I stood silently…nobody else seemed to. Very weird. Anyway no more on…
