maybe your images are too large or small?

Same problem here. The images (which aren't even big files) don't show up in a brand new gallery I made. On my site, the gallery doesn't even show up. Bummer!
What a better way to start the month than with a blog. And the month kicks off with a Sweetlick gig at the Artichoke and a shoot on Sunday with my awesome team Michael and Amy with guest hair by Corrine, who I haven't worked with in ages. I've put in my application for MLFF and am waiting to hear back from them and I'm about to start photoshopping the shots I did on Fridays shot with DJ Ajax Lush. There are 2 more shoots for this month and then it will be Easter. I can't already believe it's March! So much seems to have happened.
Last month, February, turned out to be busy. I went to Cronulla to shoot a small show for designer Vieusseux. I had the opportunity to do some classes for Style Academy but I was fully booked and I also needed to have a few rest days as I was feeling burnt out. I did a shoot with DJ Ajax Lush, an old friend, on Friday and we had great fun pulling apart the workshop and working together. If my laptop would go quicker I would up load a shot but alas I'm stuck back in 2006 with this thing :S
Above is a shot I took at the Vieussex show. Love sparklers.

My first Blog for the year and it's on February! Where has the time gone?? While everyone else was enjoying the summer holidays, out shooting and expressing themselves, I was working hard trying to earn the moneys and killed myself doing 30 days straight :S
In this day and age it can be hard being a working photographer and to also bring home the bacon, they both don't go hand in hand anymore. I noticed the local wedding photographer has had to start selling random surf memorabilia and signs so I'm guessing he's also finding it tough also. I knew it was going to be hard that's why I chose to keep my trade and work it part time to earn money so then I can do whatever I want with my photography. School holidays, especially the summer ones, are my busiest time of the year and it offered me the chance to make enough to buy a new camera! But my days were hijacked with repairing. So now it's been ages since I last did a shoot and I'm itching and chomping and everything else to get back into it. My time though during the summer holidays wasn't completely photographyless. I shot the new Toni and Guy salon in Mona Vale and have been asked by another Toni and Guy to shoot with them, I've been planning my fashion shows for the year, contacted magazines and taught a weeks worth of photography classes for Style Academy (which were a success!). Everything I have planned is pretty much from here on in to the new year. So hear I come!
I'm going to take it easy with shooting model portfolios for a while and concentrate more again on fashion work. I bought some new lights which have only been used once in a month and I'm dying to get out in the workshop and have a muck around. I'm also planning on buying a Nikon D700 or D3 (if my budget can stretch that far) sometime before all the big runway work begins. I'm a little sad in having to leave Pentax but they did not deliver anything new or better with the K7 and I'm not going to buy one of those. I was also toying with the idea of getting my own studio but I think it might be a lot later down the track.
It has not yet gone 9am and I can't motivate myself to go back to the trade work I must do today. The things we do for money, I hate it.
The photos above are of the last model portoflio shoot I did back in December 09, Jalena from platform. I teamed her shots up with the ones I took of Elise a few months before as I think they work really well together.
Will be back more often, blogging, as I'm no longer crazy busy................................I'm just crazy now :P xx

As some of you may know I teach the modeling component for agency Style Academy and the classes they run for wanna be models. It's something I really enjoy, it's always a bit of fun having these aspiring models (both male and female) come in not knowing how to pull a basic pose and by the end of the lesson to have them feeling confident, striking a hot pose and even working with props. I get to put all the information I have swimming around in my head into practice and even better onto a list (I love a good list). I'm looking forward to taking sometime over the Christmas/New Year break to refine my lessons to make them even better and more fun for everyone.
The year is at an end and I'm gearing up for next years shoots, listing my goals and where I want to be in 12 months time, personal projects, publishing work and more. I'm hoping to double what I did this year and to push the boundaries. I didn't do as many personal shoots as I would have liked this year and I'm hoping to finally pull my ideas out of my head and put them on photographic paper. As well as buy a whole lot of new equipment, camera and studio. Actually I'm hoping by July 2010 have my own warehouse/studio space so I can grow the business and have it in a more convenient location. It will take some time but I'm sure I'll find something for the right price, right location and size.
I hosted my first work Christmas party last night and took James, Julie and Stephanie out to dinner at the Artichoke in Manly. I wish I could have included more people I worked with this year but I don't think the restaurant would have held that many people. Next year I'll have a big bash and invite you all :)
I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Fantastic New Year. A BIG thank you to everyone I worked with this year, thank you for your time and effort and for helping create beautiful art work with me, especially: Julie Zhu Stephanie Siame Michale Haldar Ichiroo Suzi Rose Amy O'Gorman Tanya and the team @ Handcut Fiona Vougdis Models - Claudia Pickering, Stephanie Naumoska, Zoe Wightman, Denise Korhonen Roxy 2 Foxy Sofia Rodie and Tenny Boyajian The team @ Jasmine Hall Gilbert Rossi Platform Models The FACE Fashion crew Style Academy Elicit Vibe and V Tribe All the models and make-up artists I worked with from Model Mayhem (you know who you are)
And last but not least to my wonderful husband and soul mate James who's love and support I cannot do without.
