This year we celebrated Christmas eve with the boys.
5 days before Christmas I still hadn't taken our annual family photo even though I had the concepts loosely worked out in my head.
I knew that I wanted to do one in the kitchen and one evening when Kim decided she wanted to experiment with cooking brownies I decided to set it up and talked her through the concept and what I wanted her and the kids to do.
It worked out better than expected.
Kim also wanted one of us unpacking gifts.
This one was a lot harder to set up as the light was critical.
The last family photo we did was a simple one taken in the morning at Maroubra beach.

Kim has never learned to ride a bike. One day at the park she borrowed Kaylas bike and gave it a try.
She did pretty good considering that she's never done it before.

Here is some quick snaps of some public artwork that I find really cool.
This artwork I found in the Macquarie centre.
It is thousands of plastic balls suspended from the ceiling.
And this grafitti is from Redfern...I wish all grafitti was this well done.

One day we went with the kids to the opera house to experience a play called "The tiger who came to tea" which is based on a childrens book of the same title.
We had borrowed the book week before and read it to the kids so they were very excited and the play was really good fun and well made.

One of the sad events of the year was the attack on the Lindt cafe in Sydney where a lone gunman took the patrons as hostages. He was eventually shot by the police after killing two patrons.
All of Sydney laid flowers in front of the cafe as Martins place.

In early November I did another open studio day. This time a mini day with less models, hair and makeup and studio setups.
As
usual it was good practice and fun to work with the various models. I
think I did get some great photos and there were a lot of lessons learned
that can be done better next time.

Compared to the other times I
was doing a lot more natural light photography this time and some of it
in nasty and not very flattering direct sunlight. I think I still
managed to get some very usable results out of it.

The hardest
thing for me is still the communication with the models and the creation
of a vision that is different when you are on a fixed set.
