Smokefree Band Quest 2015 Last year I went to my nephews Band Quest competition to take photographs and was lucky enough to hashtag my way to winning him a 20th Anniversary Fender Strat guitar, which was pretty cool. Yesterday I went along again to watch him and got to photograph him playing that very same guitar! I'm pretty biased, but he's super talented. And my only request is backstage passes for Aunty Heidi once he's famous.  \ To View More >>

Today I shot my friend Alan's Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, before it was shipped off to it's next owner. Alan very kindly (or recklessly...) let me attempt to drive it awhile back, since I'd never driven a manual transmission before. Not sure if Alan has a death wish or not. But I think I only stalled it three times in 400 metres sooooo... I'm pretty much counting that as being able to drive stick right now.  To View More >>

I went along to both Huntly & Western Springs Speedway tracks and photographed a different type of motorsport. These ones go round and round, not just in straight lines! So weird, these speedway racer types.  So a very different experience to drag racing. There's certainly a lot more dirt flying around and a lot more opportunities to take photos for each race. Seven seconds isn't exactly a lot of time to get the shot right. There's also a lot less fuel fumes to blind you on the start line, but despite all that I'm still on the drag racing side of the fence so they'll be no allegiance To View More >>
