Keppel Island "Poor Me"
This is just the kind of wedding I like, or need, you climb on a boat go to an island and get stuck there till the boat leaves the following afternoon, ARRRR! poor me. It was 12 months ago when Holly's best friend rang to ask if I was free on this day, I was, lucky me, an island wedding and a weekend away all in one package, all went to plan except that my wedding offsider Sam, twisted her knee the day before and couldn't walk, "what to do, what to do" Plan B, mmmmmmmm, no plan b I hadn't needed plan b so far so it wasn't quite finished, Then a thought "Ed!" He is a good plan b, how will I get him to come to Keppel for the weekend, Ed's is not much of a wedding person, (note there is no ring on my finger), least of all when he will have to help me carry all my gear on the boat, off the boat, accross sand dunes, and into a cabin, Cause see Holly and Hamish are getting married at sunset, so with studio lights in tow for family photos after dinner and clothes, cameras, tripods ext, we where going to need a trailer, LOL.
Well it turns out we have the best weather, the best sunset, the very best dress, and a great lot of people, and they where here for a party. Great red wine did I mention they had my favourite red wine what a wedding, stuck on an island with Ed, my camera, a beautiful wedding, and finished of with a wine and we got invited to join them for dinner, prefect.

Kabra Mud Races 17th July 2010
Come take some photos at the mud races they said, well Ok! that sounds like a fun way to spend a Saturday, Got a little excited about it through the week worked myself in to a tail spin, did a bit of research to find out what was required from a mud racing photographer, you know the stuff, the do's and don'ts, "don't go on the track, don't get it the way, and please don't get run over there is to much paper work to fill out if you do," yep I have heard it all before, Like I really would like to be hit by a motor vehicle hurtling towards me at a racing speed. So Saturday morning arrived through the gear in the car and of to Kabra I headed, found the boss lady who gave me the run down, "don't go on the track" yeah yeah I got that bit, then to my great surprise she said " but you can go out there in that box right out there in the middle of the race if you like" my little eyes light up, COOL!!! I am so there. So off I toddled, standing in my little box RIGHT in the middle of the action, this dude walks up to me and says "haven't been here before hey!", with my, I am really I can't believe I got this spot look on my face, "ARR No!" "Hope your good at ducking" he reckons, whatever is going through my brain, look at where I am standing this is a photographers dream spot. So the day started, the first lot of cars came out, thought in head now was "SHIT" I did learn real quick to duck, got covered in mud from head to toe camera gear took two days to clean, But Oh! the photos, worth it, you bet.
What a day, I did look like a pig in a stye by the end of the day, this was not normal mud, this was black thick stick to everything mud, like I am not your normal "Oh I just broke a nail" kind of girl.

It"s Gordan Jovic Weekend July 10th 2010
Well if there is one thing I really like it is input, I can't get enoungh of it, I read every night in bed, I podcast while walking on the treadmill every morning, I do TAFE courses, input, input, input. So when Sharon rang to tell me she had a man called Gordan coming to do a workshop it stirred up a little interest, with about Oh! 1 minute checking out this guys website I was in boots and all, So the weekend turned up and off I went wondering how it would pan out, well I have to tell you it was all I hoped it would be, he did not hold back telling us everything we needed to get our photography business going, programs and how to use them, lights and how to work them, people and how to style them, wonderful, wonderful weekend, Thanks Gordan.
These are the weekends that just make you better at what we do.
