One evening we were invited on a double date with one of Kims friends.
The theme was painting and we were to make an abstract painting of eachother.
Next day the boys tried to draw their versions.

Strange year indeed, and other than a few things, it is remarkably the same.
The kids have still done a lot of activities and here are some of them.
Aiden hanging out with his friend Jake at the beach.
Mini golf with Sammi.
Doing puzzles at home.
Aiden had patience to do one of the simpler ones.
Me trying to teach them how to use photoshop...not a bad result for a first try.
Painting the old way.
One of Aidens favourite drawings. It got soaked by accident and he was absolutely devastated. I managed to rescue it somewhat and take this photo.
He went through a phase where he was obsessed with the Titanic.
He was also into Harry Potter and made a drawing of the sorting hat.
I took Aiden out for a run and he did 4.5km without a break...very proud.
Ice skating with friends
Backyard tennis
Ice cream
Karate - Lucas got to wear a black belt after doing a 3 minute plank.
Their Kumite (sparring) gear.
Aiden reading a bit. Reading is really difficult for him. He can read all the words and sentences perfectly, but it is hard for him to comprehend the stories he reads (almost like he is unable to visualise and imagine the story as he reads it.).

On the other side of Botany Bay is Kamay national park.
On a very stormy day we went for a walk over there to experience the wild weather.

During the lockdown we spent a lot of time in our backyard having a firepit on the weekends.
One weekend I put up my old tent and I camped in the backyard with the boys...they had a blast.

At Boracay I did another shoot with some beautiful models. It was a fun shoot on the beautiful beach and at the hotel pool.

Early in the year we made an extended weekend trip to the Gold Coast in Queensland. Main attraction here was for the boys to visit Movieworld and Seaworld.

These photo are from a workshop I did with Kateriina as a model.
It was mainly studio with fixed (hot) lights instead of strobes which I am more used to.
Advantage of the fixed lights in a workshop setting is that it is easier to see what the light is like before taking the photo as well as having multiple photographers shooting at the same time.

Aidens birthday was during the covid lock down.
Fortunately we were still allowed to have a couple of his school friends over for a little celebration (his school was still open anyhow).
We decided to have it in the garden with a fire pit with roasted marshmellows, sparklers followed by cake.
