Normally I wouldn’t take my camera gear to a game, however I went straight there from Chloe’s Christening – stay tuned for photos later this week. It was the last game of the regular season, the winner not only becomes the minor premiers, but also get direct qualification into the Asia cup.

It was the biggest crowd of the year, the cove was a sea of blue supporters.

Second half, Sydney was up 1-0 and the action was happening at my end of the field, Brosque making a few moves.

Soon after, Aloisi nailed it, taking the shot.

He soaked in the roar of the crowd

Then was joined in by his team mates.

The cove went crazy.

Final result, 2-0 congratulations.

Just 12 days to go, the Christmas tree is up, the kids are on holidays, and looking forward to a great Australian summer in Sydney.

A sneak peak on what our family & friends will receive as their Christmas card this year.

Yep, the boys are growing.

For everyone else, you can have this on-line version.

A Safe & Merry Christmas to you & your family, and may 2010 be filled with health & happiness.

John & Family.

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.

I’ve been going through my personal photographs, and have to say photographing the under 6’s has been a lot of fun, especially they way they all hover around the ball.

You can see 8 kids in this shot, the fact that it’s 4 a side gives you an indication of how close they play. Also makes it easy for a photographer.

Went go-carting this month for my nephews birthday, what a lot of fun that was.

As I’m not shooting events I’m just posting the occasional snapshot to keep the blog active.

With football season in full swing, I have to admit I have been enjoying my Saturdays watching (shooting) the boys playing. Instead of showing your ordinary sports pics, thought I would start my own line of (de) motivational posters.

My first effort – Hacking:
If you lack the talent to match your opponent, there is only one weapon at your disposal.

You may have noticed the blog has been very quiet the past couple of months. Sometimes life throws a few challenges your way, you roll with the punches, get back up and continue. My photography, including my blog, has taken a back seat during this period.

The dust has settled, things are almost back to normal, I’m looking forward to 2009 with a positive outlook. Stay tuned.

Went to the zoo today with the family. If you have never been it’s set in one of the most picturesque parts of Sydney Harbour, the views are fantastic & the animals a great.

The giraffe is a favourite with all the family, here is one of my favourites of the day, with the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the background.

The Apprentice (my 5 year old) was taking photos with the pocket camera, and captured this candid of me which shows just how far my MO has grown for Movember. Have you sponsored me yet? If not, details on the two previous posts below.
