Having a Baby…??

Everyone Loves Baby Feet !!!

As many regular readers will know, we here at Pixxil Photography are a large blended family with 6 awesome kids. This is one reason I find children’s portraiture so easy I suppose, with so many opportunities and so much practice !! We do hear all the usual jokes like, “wow, you guys must not own a TV !!” and “Is there something in the water…?” and all those other gems… and after a while, they are not nearly as funny as people think they are… hehe

Anyway…after much discussion, my wife Narelle and I have decided to have another Baby !!

We are not pregnant yet and we haven’t started “trying” yet either, but I thought I would announce it to the world.

So stay tuned for further announcements and also some Pregnancy and Baby photography specials as well, once we have a “bun in the oven” !!

Water Saving & Target 155

Like many of you, we received our water usage stats from our water supply company with our current quarterly bill. (Ours came yesterday.) And like many of you, we have been doing our part to cut down our water usage. In a household of 8, a fair amount of planning and timing is required to make sure things run smoothly at the best of times, so in some ways it has been easy… but not that easy !!

Water usage is a hot topic and I would like to say that we are doing our part

Water usage is a hot topic. No water was wasted in the capturing of this image.

The Victorian State Government set a recommended usage target of less than 155litres per person per day, and called it Target 155, which is a very imaginative name. The Melbourne Metropolitan average is still 188litres per person per day. So they gave us a great website full of tips and tricks to help meet the recommended target.

So, you are thinking… “what was your water usage Robb…?”

Well, as a household total, we have managed to hit a stunning 851 litres per day !!

After some quick math, thats only a touch over 106litres per person per day !! (round of applause please)

Thats 39litres lower than the recommended average, and means we are using the same amount of water as a Family of Five (and a half).

Cut your shower time and fix leaking taps, Maximise what you do use and cut out the wastage.

Its something to think about, and every bit helps.

Wyndham Pages and Hobson’s Bay Pages

I would like to help kick off 2009 and announce that Pixxil Photography has a very pretty 1/2 page Advertisement on page 81 of the 2009 edition of the Wyndham Pages (wp) and also its sister publication the Hobson’s Bay Pages (hbp)as well. For the sake of my typing fingers I will refer to them collectively as “wp&hbp”. And those who know me well will know I don’t use the word “pretty” very often, so this is something special. I just received my copies, so I grabbed a few quick shots to show you all.

Moved and Shaken

Well, the BIG BLOG MOVE appeared to go well, and I decided to update to the latest WordPress 2.7 at the same time… except it appears I lost a couple of posts, maybe 8 from November and December… I can find them again, but it will take a little time. But other than that its all good !!

And to Celebrate, here is a shot from Gary and Michelle’s wedding from the weekend.

Moving and Shaking

After months of thinking about it, I have finally decided to move my Blog to the front of my website and update the theme… YAY !!

The move was easy, the next bit will take a little longer… So things could get a little “strange” over the next few hours or days (depending on how things go) as I fight with a few format issues, work on a new portfolio section and get things up to speed.

And on a completely unrelated side note, it appears as though one of my e-mail addresses has been failing to send mail for about 3 days… YAY !!! ….not much fun at all. I apologise to anyone who may have been effected and didnt get a reply. The problem has been rectified and it shoudn’t occur again.

Now I leave you with this image and get back to work… … wish me luck
