"Enjoy uninterrupted views, pristine beaches and crystal clear water"

Your probably thinking... what's going on with all this nature stuff?!? All I can say is, I feel very connected to the land and mother earth's powers are strong within. But never fear, next week we will no doubt be back to images of mans love of destruction and the gentle decay of the fabrics of society!
So behold this wonderful sunrise over the Grand Canyon. I thought I would be the early bird, but no. As I arrived at my scouted spot from the previous day, I descended upon hundreds of other sun seekers. Not wanting to hang around or push and shove to get a clear shot, I ran for the hills so to speak. Perched on a rocky out crop, I got the clearest view I could find, I also had the joy of watching the morning unfold by myself, alone with my surrounds, soaking in all of natures glory.

Chappelli by Ian Chappell

The new book by Ian Chappell is soon to hit the shelves. It promises to be an exciting read and not just one for the cricket fans. I just got my advance copy from Random House. I'm really pleased with the cover, which was designed by Luke Causby at Blue Cork. We had a great day shooting with Ian, he was relaxed and in great spirits, he told us many funny and fascinating tales whilst photographing him.
I can only begin to imagine what lies between the covers of the book! 
The book is due out on the 19th of November and will be available from all good bookstores.

This weeks instalment is from a new series that I have been working on.
'Lantana and other weeds' takes a brief look at how society attaches labels.
A flower can be a thing of beauty in one world, but in another it can be considered noxious.
If a plant grows strong, pushes through adversity and flowers to spread seed, then why do we not take joy in such things?
Is this not a metaphor for life?
