Off the grid
We spent some time off the grid this weekend – staying at a friend’s place, where they live without mains power, hot water, phone lines, or much plumbing (say hello to the long drop dunny). It was nice and relaxing as a guest – after all, I wasn’t the one who had to boil hot…

Baby drool
The husband has been away again, playing golf this time, and the cats and I have been at home attempting to be productive. Well, I have been attempting to be productive – the cats have been sleeping, napping, and shedding hair all over the furniture. (And were my attempts successful? Well, to a certain extent.…

Hannah & the cats
Hannah, our friends’ two and a half year old daughter, was visiting with her parents last weekend, and enjoyed playing with the cats. I’m not sure that they really enjoyed playing with her – she liked to chase them, rather than patting or scratching. It’s interesting to see the difference in six months, when we…

A wedding
My brother was married in October (which still sounds strange – my little brother, married), and I took some photos. His wife-to-be looked beautiful. I made the cake, with a fair bit of help putting together the tiers and the flowers. It turned out quite well, and after the happy couple left for their honeymoon…

Before the ceremony
I took this photo as she was waiting in the doorway for everyone to get into the cars and head to the church, looking down at all the fuss and confusion. I photographed this wedding for some friends last weekend, which I actually found quite difficult – poor lighting reveals the limitations of my equipment…

Eagleby Wetlands
After Mum discovered the Eagleby Wetlands while browsing through the Refedex, we headed out there for a spot of birdwatching. And while I got a bit frustrated with my zoom lens and its very noisy focussing gear (and gazed with envy at the truly enormous lenses that the more professional birdos were lugging around) I…

In sepia
I rather like this Photoshopping – Meg, at our last book club gathering, looks very refined and lovely (although I’m sure I should credit that to Meg herself rather than Photoshop. But I think the sepia adds a little something).

Up the bridge & down the other side
Getting sick two weeks before the Bridge to Brisbane spoiled the Training Plan of Awesomeness (which involved, you know, practicing my running) and the Nonexistent Training Plan was instituted instead, which mostly involved sitting around and coughing. So I didn’t get a chance to break in my new running shoes, but in flash of brilliance, decided…

Max & Kat
My brother and his girlfriend are getting married next year, and agreed (after a small bout of pleading on my behalf) that I could be the photographer on the big day. Given that it’s a rather long time away and I’m eager to get started, I am taking a few portraits of them every chance…

In the kitchen
Kat in her kitchen, interrupted while making hummus for lunch. It was delicious – chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice and garlic, whizzed in the food processor.
o frabjous day!
