SURFING: Mitch Carves up Cocos

Finally managed to take myself down to the local surfing break and capture my step-son in action. Mid afternoon is not the optimum time of day for photographing the surfers in action - just too much glare from the afternoon sun. However, Mitch was pretty pleased with the action shots I was able to take of him. Of course, the local surfing fraternity will say "What surf on Cocos???......" With one break, expensive air fares, I doubt Cocos will ever become a surfing mecca....

Baby "F"

A few months ago, I had the pleasure of an impromptu "baby bump" session with my good friend and diving partner Leah. Leah and her husband, Rohan, have just returned to Cocos with their gorgeous little bundle of joy. Congratulations to you both. Can't wait to take some more photos of your special little boy.

"Let's go Twitching....."

It's been fairly quiet on Cocos, hence my lack of updating the blog. However, my good friend Pam from Dorys Cafe and I went on a little expedition, bird watching. We managed to snap some unusal egrets. Great afternoon - thanks Pam.

Anzac Day 2011

"Let Go" ~ A tribute to ANZAC day by Kireina Johnston

It's hard to let go of a loved one; but trust me when I say
Better now than never, though parts of you may fray
There's no use holding on, when you know you must let go
Your heart will only get heavier, and the guilt you feel will grow.

Do not mourn for the lost, but neither should you forget
Their spirits shall love on, their paths to heaven are set.
What happened can not be changed, but do not blame it on fate
Say good-bye now, before it becomes too late.

Tonight we will remember them, and the sacrifices they made
How they marched through endless darkness, until their shadows began to fade.

An inpromptu baby bump session for a very special friend. The weather was far from perfect but we managed a short session. "L" was an avid scuba diver before falling pregnant, so was very keen on using a few scuba props for her mini shoot.
