You may have received this image on your spam or seen it in an interesting mag! It seems there is no end of laughter over the images I have taken for the new Queenstown Sofitel Men's Toilets....causing all to go and have a tinkle for a giggle.

NZone "The Ultimate Jump" gave me the thrill of a lifetime..........to be thrown out of a perfectly good plane at 12,000 feet is a profound experience. A must do......at least once in your life. I really didn't have too much time to think...JUST DO IT moment. Strap a spunky jump master (Krasimia was mine) on your back and get into it. Call NZone 0800Dropzone

If you haven’t seen "The Worlds Fastest Indian" grab your buddy and run to the nearest theatre....it is fantastic. Stunning acting by Anthony Hopkins...he reminded me of my dear old Grandad. Determined but loving and always interested in the young. Anthony plays Bert the "unstoppable speed demon" so beautifully with the innocence of coming from down under. It’s got something for everyone.....go see it now.

It was a delight to attend the red carpet affair of the opening night of "The Worlds Fastest Indian" at Dorothy Browns in Arrowtown. I shared the evening with the very talented Grahame Sydney and Deidre Copeland.

Gosh where has 2005 raced too....hold on to your hats as we will be all celebrating a Wonderful Christmas in less that two months. Have you booked your family photographic sittings? Great for presents and a lifetime of memories too. Thanks to the Cafe family in Queenstown for letting me take their Christmas Card images. Good luck to Tim Cafe on your ski racing over summer.

When photographing children get down to their level. It gives a better perspective on the image. Be prepared to be patient as the moment you want to take their photo may be the moment they want to do their own thing....just wait quietly and be ready. It is good to let children be themselves. Here is Charlie-Rain with sister Sophie and my Pinot, hanging out in Arrowtown.
