Some random photographs taken during the month.

Some photographs taken during the family holiday, any idea where in the world these were taken? Your only clue:

Not in Australia

a bit of architecture

More pretty flowers

If you look carefully, you can see my son on the bridge looking at the fish.

One of the shops we came across.

Only a handful of the photos I took that day. All these were taken at the same location within walking distance of each other.

25th March, Greece celebrates it’s national day, known as the Greek War of Independence.

In Sydney, Australia, the Greek community celebrates it firstly with a remembrance ceremony held at Martin Place. It is then followed by a march down George St to the steps of the Sydney Opera House, where the day is celebrated with singing & dancing.

This photograph I liked because it highlights the contrast of the different uniforms. The ‘Greek Digger’, Army, Navy, Greek National costume.

The NSW State Premier Kristina Keneally, was there as well, very photogenic as usual.

All aspects of the Greek Community were represented, in this photo we have the principal & students from All Saints Grammar.

Many dressed in various interpretations of the Greek National Costume having a great time.

A sea of hats, proudly brought to you by All Saints Grammar

Students from St Euphemia, with the crowd sitting on the steps of the Sydney Opera House on the right, the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the background. If you look carefully on arch right next to the Greek flag, you can see the people on top of the bridge doing the ‘bridge climb‘.

Finally, the one that brought a smile to everyone’s face. This kid is so young he could barely walk, yet here he is in the Greek National Costume strutting his stuff.

ZHTO H ELLAS!

In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve put my contact page back up. If you have forgotten to book a photographer for your event this year, you may be in luck. As I’ve been off-line for several months, my schedule for the remaining of 2009 is pretty open.

If you’re looking for a photographer for 2010, all I can suggest is don’t procrastinate. Within a week of getting back on line, enquiries have started to come in and the first few months of 2010 is starting to look quite busy.

I’m looking forward to a great Australian summer in Sydney, and should start posting pics & stories in the not too distant future.

Cheers.

Spring in Sydney is a beautiful time of the year. One of my favourite things is the colour produced by the jacaranda trees.

It’s that time of year when the magpies are born. Every morning a family of maggies come into our yard to pick up the scraps our that fall out of our birds cage. I’ve been unsuccessfully trying to capture a decent image of them, they tend to scatter as soon as they see me approaching, even with my 200 lens, I can’t get close enough….anyway, here is the best of a bad bunch.

Due to personal reasons, I am not taking any bookings until further notice.

What a year its been, looking forward to 09, see you then.

What can I say, a bit of facial hair & a haircut, next thing I know the dog bites me, the kids don’t recognise me & my wife thinks she’s sleeping with another man.
