Project 52 "Black & White"

Black & White tells the viewer the story straight away without the distraction of colour. It can be classic or bold, moody and dramatic and can conjure an emotion to the story that's being told! 

For someone so young....

My friend's daughter Charlotte decided all on her own to donate her hair for people suffering with Cancer in the World's Greatest Shave! In her own words "I am only 7 years old and in Grade 2. I know how sick people can get when they have a yucky thing called cancer. I hope I can help them and they can use my hair to make a wig." To think someone so young would be so selfless to think of others. Charlotte and I shared a gorgeous photo shoot before her big haircut.  You can sponsor Charlotte her at this address: www.worldsgreatestshave.com/charlotte van poppel.

"Melbourne, gale force winds and rain expected this afternoon"

The day started with sunshine in the morning but the Weather Bureau predicted gale force winds and rain in the afternoon right when I was to photograph this delightful family at the park.   We decided to persevere and see what happens.  Starting at the house which had the most beautiful south facing light, building blocks and playing on the in house slide.  Trying to beat the rain, off we went to the local park, running with the balloons, playing on the play equipment, blowing bubbles and was about to finish up when down came the rain!  Mother Nature was just on our side!

Cousins!

I've had the priviledge of photographing these little boys since they were knee high to a grasshopper!  Their cousin has just moved here from overseas and what a treat it was to photograph all three boys in all their cuteness!  The Mums are pretty cute too!
