It was a complete delight to be at the Queenstown's Skyline Gondola to share in Mark Inglis story...on his journey to the top of the world. It was an inspiring journey, that confirmend my disire to go visit and support countries that are less fortunate than ours. Well done Mark...I wish you well on your recovery.

What a cool winter I have had. Thanks to Mr Bahn for returning to shoot his CTV in the Otago area. I was lucky enough to photograph the stills...meeting yaks and photographing our talented people in Korean clothing. This was the rap photo!

What a giggle...animals, too much snow and home grown talent....getting it together was so funny. On the most beautiful day in the world we created a snow storm for the Koren television. It was a privilege to be around some of the best talent we have in NZ.

WOW photographing with Erik from PO2, Queenstown and the crew at A Head of Nature in Massey, Auckland. I wish you all the very best in your bids to scoop a prize or two during this time of hairdressing competitions. What fun to all to be creative and it's wicked for me to be allowed to be as crazy as I like with lighting and capturing the mood of the hair. PO2 03 4414247. A Head of Nature 09 832 4343.

Thank you to those who insisted on Dr Naram's visit. He was truly inspiring, re-igniting the strong possibility that anything is possible...including great health. We had the most wonderful evening on training the mind, believing, and the opportunity for personal growth. If you missed him, he promised to be back again next year.

Putting your body on the line is part of the job. It was a close shave at the suitcase race on Coronet Peak during the Queenstown Winter Festival. Thanks to Barry Harcourt who captured this moment. (can you see me!?)

Wow we have had an interesting time with day after day of temps in the minus...making for wicked snow. It was my big plus when I got to capture the dynamic Claudia Reigler, who is part of Inspiring Young New Zealanders. Her special charge is Tim Cafe from Queenstown, a budding young ski racer. You will be able to read all about it in Player Magazine.

MMMMM BEER (said with deep throaty tone...like Holmer Simpson). Yvonne Kerr, my delightful friend and freelance journalist, and I went on a mission to meet the man behind the Emerson's brand. Richard Emerson had us hooked on beer and it wasn't even lunchtime!. Thanks for your passion and desire to make many different flavours...we loved your beer (and you were very cool too). http://www.emersons.co.nz

Well read it in the North and South...in the Herald on Sunday...it's in the air. What will the verdict be?. It is important to standup for what you believe in. I wish Tamsin all the strength needed for the battle ahead. Thanks too for dressing me for the Gala dinner...I felt "stunning". www.tamsincooper.co.nz
