Bronte to Bondi Photowalk
Tiny Planets and Rabbitholes ~Photo Circle

Many thanks to +Colby Brown and +Michael Sutton for hosting a record-breaking photowalk yesterday! Raffle ticket BlackC13 didn't win any prize :( ~ but... photowalks are all about the G+ people~ and it was wonderful to catch up with +Francis Gorrez +Gretchen Chappelle +Luis Del Rosario +Tarun Bhushan. +Felipe Ramirez ~ saw you but didn't get a chance to say Hi. +Lisa Ford ~ hope to see you next time! :)

I only had my 50mm and mobilephone yesterday~ and didn't take too many photos. Four weeks ago, I hurt my ankle and the Bronte to Bondi walk was my gauge-of-sorts of how much it has healed. +Mildred Leyson +Eden De La Gracia ~ thanks for doing the walk with me... my ankle was A-OK after walking 3hrs, from Bronte to Hurricane's Lol :)

Studies for Graphite/Pastels
~Nine Pears

I've caught the drawing bug (again) last weekend! And my mobile phone has been a pretty handy complement! One of the advantages of mobile photography is that it allows me to create thumbnail "studies" of subjects for drawing later. Apps also help in creating the look and texture that I have in mind ~ so quickly... in this case, before the pears disappeared (yum!) :p

Apps: Camera+, Autopainter

Have a great weekend!

World Firefighters Games

Two more days to go before the closing ceremonies of the World Firefighters Games in Sydney! Aside from the sports and outdoor games played during the week, there were also indoor games like dodgeball, arm-wrestling, darts, and... push-ups ~ on Singles Night! ~ the crowd was all cheers watching the firefighters outlast each other! 

This Aussie firey took the second place~ I had better shots of him than the winner as he was right in front of me :) Undecided which one to post (colour or b/w?) as friends seem to like both versions... so here you go!

World Firefighters Games

Sydney is host to the 2012 World Firefighters Games ~ for ten days in October, the event celebrates the camaraderie, heroism, fitness and spirit of the men and women who work in one of the world’s most respected professions. 

Fireys are great cooks, too! I had a chance to volunteer at the Firemen Cook Off held at a huge commercial kitchen at TAFE, Ultimo NSW. Firefighters from the UK, Finland, South Africa, South Korea and Australia competed ~ and we all got to eat their yummy dishes after judging :)

Monochrome in Spring

Be Spring Inspired! ~ That's the theme of this year's Floriade, a celebration of this vibrant season in Canberra, Australia's capital. Although spring bursts of colour, it is also a time to pursue monochrome work~ especially with the delicate tulips that I so love. I do a personal project on this every year... sharing a few images with you all :)
