All its done is rain in the last week, not just rain though, more like a monsoon. It hasn't bothered me but seems to have upset the natives who are worrying that this rain will last their whole summer. This morning it seemed a bit of a gamble to venture out with the camera, but I was lucky enough to be able to grab a few hours. The rain hasn't dampened the spirits of the hoards of tourists that flock to this seaside city every year. They bring an infectious buzz of excitement as the voices of different lands mix in the air. They are here to experience the multi-cultural cosmopolitan town - anything goes !!

Brighton is glorious under the sun ....

Enjoy

As you have noticed I'm not a big one with words on my blog, I tend to post my images and let them talk for themselves. This is quite amazing really as anybody that knows me, knows that in the flesh I can 'talk the hind legs off a donkey', and, if you aren't familiar with that saying, it simply means 'I don't have an off button' when it comes to talking. I can talk about anything, to anyone, as long as they'll let me.... and I do.....  lol  :)

BUT I just wanted to share something with you all

Last Sunday I attended the Little Pieces by Kelly Brown workshop. 100% awesome-ness.
Kelly's a great lady, very open and chillaxed. Not only did she open her home to five eager and aspiring photographers of all levels, but she fed and watered us and kept us on our toes all day.
Kelly shared everything -  photography tips, baby safety, editing images, business ideas generation, prop sourcing ... and so on, and so forth. It was wonderful to see her handle the newborn models and share with us her knowledge and experience whilst we snapped away.
Q&A no holds barred !!!!

Touching moment: Kelly sharing her family story with us
Funniest moment: After just being asked about baby's pee-ing on her, on cue, the bubs-in-arms projectile green bottom deposits all over her (and she smiles)
Best Moment: Every moment between 8am-6pm (6.45) last Sunday

I learnt so much - Thank you so much Kelly xxx

Really like this shot of Lisa-Rose, she's such a happy to go-with-the-flow model. Considering she was feeling sick (and being sick) she can certainly pull it together on the day. I love working with models with this professionalism, thanks Lisa-Rose, awesome job.

I spent a wonderful morning at the McIntyre Centre, Mt.Crosby, QLD, photographing some of their special students. It was a wonderful experience watching children with disabilities getting so excited about riding horses, and laughing their heads off as the horses cantered across the paddock; I felt touched to be part of this experience. This is little Jessie-Lee, she is a stunning girl who's dad came with her this week, which added extra excitement. The staff and the volunteers at the Centre do such a marvellous job I commend you.
