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.

Alice Springs Todd River coming in

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.

The wedding couple Jess and Adrian that I photographed the 5th September 09, announced to me last week, that they are pregnant.
Today they showed me their first ultra sound photos they got today and I took a photo of Jess as part of a monthly series I am going to take until July when she is due.
The last photo will be baby in hands in front of her belly

But I got rewarded with a nice lightning shot (only 2 in one hour)

Hi People

I would like to share these galleries with you too.

3 Days conference in Alice with lots of photography fun.
Enjoy

Taken about a year ago at Araluen. All with permission.
Finally I managed to get an address out of Neil Murray to send him the cd with images.

Here are a few.

I regularly fly to Ayers Rock to shoot weddings. I must admit
photographing weddings for me is best kind of photography there is.
Especially if I get to fly to an unique and special spot like the very heart of Australia, Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park.
Staying in a 5 star resort hotel and shoot at the best spot in the world.
I DO SO LOVE MY JOB!
The rock keeps amazing me.

Have to start with this one:

When I was in Holland for a family visit in 2007, I took some photos of this fabulous dutch singer Natasja Poels.

She emailed me this clip where she used my photo as landing page for her video clip.

I feel very pleased to be in a clip of a good friend.
Enjoy the song (she is GOOD)
