Today I had the pleasure of photographing the baptism of baby Preston, here he is getting dressed by the godparents.

Preston is lucky to have two sets of godparents, here is a photo with all of them.

I couldn’t resist converting this picture of the godfathers smoking cigars and chatting to a grainy black and white image.

The baptism was held at St Nicholas of Myra Catholic Church, Penrith.

The reception was at an Italian restaurant called L’oilio, in Dublin St, Smithfield where there was a gorgeous cake waiting for us at reception.

I love chillies, & couldn’t resist taking this photo.

Earlier this year, I had just bought myself another flash, sat the boys on the back step and was playing around with multiple flash units, changing intensity, positions, settings, etc. My young one started playing games and all three of us were in stitches when I took this photo.

The image itself was begging to be converted to black and white, and once I done that ended up being printed on a 20″x20″ canvas and is now proudly displayed on our living room wall.

Now if that wasn’t enough to smile about, I entered this image into a “smile” competition, and out of over 37,000 entries, I’m very happy to say that I am a finalist. Stay tuned, in a few weeks I’ll find out if I made the grade, got a consolation prize, or ended up taking home a huge print of it which is how it is being displayed for judging. Irrespective of the outcome, I can honestly say I’m absolutely chuffed.

I was in Singapore this week for work, however I don’t go anywhere without a camera and here are a few snaps I captured.

I stayed at the Holiday Inn Atrium, pretty obvious why they call it that.

One of the nights we went down to Boat Quay where we were inundated with sprukers trying to get us into their restaurant. Everyone was offering the same deal, everyone had similar menus, in the end we picked one that had a table along the water.

Even managed to get to the night zoo where you can have a close encounter with some friendly wildlife.

The day I was leaving managed to grab a bit of time down at Chinatown, where everything looks the same.
