Helicopter trip

Thanks to Belinda and Christine for an awesome day.. regardless of how much I resemble a tomato.. curse you sunburn..

I kinda liked the Juxtaposition of the two aircraft.. and if you look close, you can just make out Steve in the open door/window..

seconds before the incident..

A little shingle back lizard I spotted on the way home.. go team Cheals and Jez..

Single tree on a hill just for Julian..

Location - Social Commentary/Documentary

Final Products

So here are my final 6 product shots. I hope they're suitable.. Still need to talk to Julian about them (in person and not on Facebook)..

My Story

My story was that of my trip to Sydney for my grandmothers 89th Birthday. I chose to do a "photo album" type work.. I chose to do a slightly quirkier view on the family even as opposed to the normal get people to look at the camera in groups and say cheese as you walk around the event.







The final image is slightly more loaded than your average group photo. It is subtle but you can see my grandfather holding a sign saying "Get well soon Edmund".. this is reference to my 2nd cousin (my grandparents nephew or my aunt and uncle's cousin if you prefer to think like that) who was recently injured by an IED in Afghanistan.. he almost lost his life, then almost lost multiple limbs, then almost his eye sight.. each time medicine came to the rescue. He should recover with some serious burns/scarring and less a foot, however considering what could have been, he will be a new man..

Given my grandparents have 26 grandchildren of their own, I feel this indicates a rather interesting perspective of their life..

A Puzzling Storm by Rohan Hepburn

Raindrops caress the window pane,
wind rattles the roof tiles,
a cup of coffee steams kindly,
a table strewn with puzzle peices.
