And so that was Christmas

Can't believe I haven't blogged for over a month.

So anyhoo - here's some of the stuff  I've been up to lately ..

This is Dave.

I happened upon Dave during smoko at our Team Planning Day at Somerton Surf  Lifesaving Club. (You must try the mushroom/fetta bruschetta - it's amazing).

He was standing next to his car drying that hair - and my fingers ached for a camera.  When I moaned to my companions, Jesse reminded me that the "company" DSLR was upstairs.  I said it didn't really matter as I wasn't brave enough to ask for a photo anyway.  Jesse said that if he asked, I could just run upstairs and grab the camera.  As you can see - the rest is history!  I'm really pleased with this - environmental portraiture is a burning ambition of mine .... well, smouldering anyway ....

Two days later, we were off to Leigh Creek for the Flinders NRG Christmas party, and my birthday present - two days in Wilpena Pound and six hours of Skytrek. (more about that later - it warrants its own post!)

The Cazneaux Tree

Given that it was Christmas and all, RB held a competition to design a Victorian Christmas card, and this was my response.

I didn't win - didn't expect too - but had a lovely time merging all the elements of this card.  Too bad I didn't even get a chance to email it to folks.  So Merry Christmas!

Ah yes - and on the subject of that very season, I was also inspired to create this tshirt - for those of you who know when my birthday is it will be very obvious .... although the design itself should give you a pretty good idea!!

And so that was Christmas .....

Hope you and yours have a safe, prosperous and happy 2011.

Oh yeah - Anything you see here (except Dave) can be purchased on Redbubble.  You'll find my portfolio right here.
