Getting ready for Mother’s Day – the Crasto family

Another Mother’s Day marketing shoot, was one out of the box. My hubby’s niece, who has been living interstate for many years messaged me and said she would love to bring her family…who I have NEVER met! I didn’t even realise she was back in town. She is also a photographer and knows that sometimes…

We have endured another week of Covid lockdowns, no real end in sight. They are easing restrictions slightly, but still can’t really work or visit family and friends.

Questions: What do you think of best friends of the opposite sex?  Or to put it another way “Can men and women ever be platonic friends?  Doesn’t sex always get in the way?”  Damn silly if you ask me, I have had loads of friends that are men, and trust me they are purely platonic. I…

Happy New Year – 2020

Happy New Year! Can you believe it is 2020? As a kid that was science fiction era, (if you discount Back the future set in 2019, lol). There are no flying cars, well not in mass production. I still have to eat food prepared mostly by humans and there is no world peace. So many…

Last week was spent last-minute editing and writing Christmas articles for Photofocus.com. I wanted everything just about done so I can relax. I think the mission completed. Friday night was a girls night out as we headed to Yarra Glen for the Christmas night market. We spent a relaxing couple of hours just wandering the…
