heart-throbs

Well, with it being tax time again I've managed to get a return of a whopping $5300!!!! And on comes the inspiration for new photography equipment and clothes (like I really need more as it is). My plans are to save half for my ski/snowboard trip to New Zealand for next years winter season (woohoo) and the other half on updating my business management and purchasing some studio strobes (most likely a couple of soft boxes, tripods and a light meter). To do this I'm going to be hiring out a bunch of gear for a few of my upcoming shoots just to see what I prefer and if it really is worth spending the $$ on it. Considering I LURVE natural light I really don't want to stear towards the predictability of pre-planned lighting. However, it is any aspiring fashion photographers 'medium' to be shooting with some kind of studio lighting so i suppose taking the plunge sooner rather than later is going to pay off.

Upcoming 'PLANNED' Shoots:
Ellen - High Fashion session on 2nd August
Sami Applebee - penciled in date for mid to late August
Whipper - so keen to get back out with this chickie. Will be taking a trip out to the Barossa for this one.
Libie Jean - conceptual fashion session on 15th August

Current Projects:
Promotional photographic material for the float room
Projected Twin Album Art - album pressed early August - artwork completed
NEW releases of my own personal Photoshop Actions (resources for photographers)

Apart from all this I'm trying to extend my network with MUA and stylists and build a solid portfolio.

All the above is only my spare time... as well as that I'm staying completely inspired, motivated and calm everyday and am making my way to the top (I am currently the Flight Standards Officer for CHC Helicopters in one huge and forever changing Aviation Industry - gotta keep climbing up ;P). I adore what I do for a living but there are certainly not enough hours in the day to get everything done.


Something in human nature causes us to start slacking off at our moment of greatest accomplishment. As you become successful, you will need a great deal of self-discipline not to lose your sense of balance, humility, and commitment. ~Ross Perot

and I'd like to add to the above... as to when can you define your greatest accomplishment? There will always be room for better and brighter things :)

Peace out
