Image of the week (10)
April 29, 2009
Firstly I can’t believe its been more than 10 weeks since I started Image of the week !! (Remember I missed a couple for weeks in the middle somewhere) Anyway, the aim of all this is to show you a little more of what I love to shoot, and sometimes its something a little different.
This weeks image is also a little nature…
I have been doing a little “Jogging Photography” for a few months now… nothing to serious, but it has been fun. Here is a shot from Tuesday…
Jogging Photography - on the down low.
And for those that are interested, It was captured by :- Canon 5D Mark II & EF50mm/1.4 – ISO 1600 – 1/125 second @ f/5.6
So there you have it. Oh, and please feel free to comment… in fact I insist.

I gave blood today.
April 28, 2009
Just a quick little post to say that I donated blood today… It was as close to painless as can be expected. And I have good veins… so it didnt take long at all…
If you are in Australia and are considering becoming a Blood Donor… Log onto the Australian Red Cross Blood Service website or call 13 14 95 to register.

Lest We Forget
April 25, 2009
Today is one of the few days in the year when I actually take a moment to stop and reflect on things… and maybe shed a tear. Today I look back on my families long, proud and its fair to say at times miss guided Military Service history. I say “miss guided” not to diminish what they did or what they went through, but to attempt to convey to you the simple fact that for the most part, they (like so many others) didn’t know what they were getting themselves into. But I suppose thats enough about that…
Like many people, I feel strongly about ANZAC. I was born in Australia, and raised in New Zealand. Dads a Kiwi, Mums an Aussie. Technically I am an Aussie, but I served in the New Zealand Army… You get the idea right…? Good. Enough about me.
As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words… So here is my thousand, simple, straight forward… and Cold, just the way a beer should be.
Two Beers, Carlton Draught from Melbourne (left) and Tui from New Zealand (right)
You might be thinking “why didn’t he use VB as the Aussie beer…?” Well, thats an easy one, you see Carlton Draught is my Dad’s favorite Aussie beer.
My one or three Kiwi readers might be thinking ”Why did he use Tui as his New Zealand beer…?” Thats an easy one too, its MY favorite beer !!
Check out the Raise a glass appeal , supporting Veterans and their families. And do what I will be doing… and thats raising a glass…
