Look what we “found” sitting on the middle of the road on the Lassettes Highway to Ayers rock.
For Sale

I am now a three times and a bit local of Alice, YIPPEE. I have seen this event 10 times now in the last 4 years.

Early this afternoon at about 2 pm, I checked out Wiggly’s Waterhole and met my friend Ref. John Boundy there.
Like me, a photography fanatic! Crazy enough to stand there in the soaking wet rain risking our cameras.
Though my 5D MKII and L lenses are all weather sealed thank god. Pooring down, seriously wet. Slippery rocks on my thongs.

He showed me how to 4WD through puddles. Lol.  Took this for stock photography
Now it was really really raining hard! I got soaked wet to my skin.
Camera still ok.

Then at 5.45 pm the river finally came in

Alice Springs Todd River coming in

The wedding of the month is Warwick Thornton and Beck Cole 1 January 2010 / 01012010 (What a WICKED DATE!)

This couple got married at the Nature Theatre at the Alice Springs Desert Park.
The reception was at the Pioneer Park.

Thanks Warwick, Beck, kids, and their family, for the lovely wedding shoot you guys were great!
 

Warwick is the director of the movie Samson and Delilah  that has won several awards at the Cannes (France) film festival and the Adelaide film festival.
I have seen the movie and was fairly touched by it I must say, definitely worth watching.

I MISS MY HOLLAND NOW! WHITE CHRISTMAS possibly! 
Dad sent me this photo looking out of their window from the bedroom on the
first floor -15 at night and -10 degrees celcius during the day!!!!
this is what I am used to, not the + 43 degrees here in the heart of Australia.

Sweet Kosuke and his wife finally got their selection of photos for the books (from their family in Japan) back.
I know I need to add more conten but I am so busy these weeks finishing his wedding. Soon more

Here is the slide show they are going to get :
(Their selection of photos and of course beautiful Japanese music …..)
I like the music so much that I almost want to learn Japanese now.

So, finally finished those photos of the AUQF conference 2009 (Australian University Quality Forum)
Dinner at Ooraminna.

My photos are Digi watermarked.  Using these photos without my permission is a serious offence and action will be taken.
