Light me up (soft) rocker

 

Photographers will all tell you that light is pretty much the most important thing when it comes to taking a good photo...and strangely one of the best places in my house for taking photos when it comes to light is our stairwell....don't ask!
It's good in a mishy mashy light way - ie the light blares up the stairs and then shoots from the side and then bounces off this white wall and if the overheads are on you get that too ... anyway, it's something I like because you get cool side and backlight and everything else tends to look good too.
The other day Ali and I were going to a party and just before going, our pup Blue was having one of those psychic - I know you're going out and I'm going to be all alone - sad-dog-look moments so Ali picked her up to say goodbye.
My camera was right beside me so I quickly picked it up and took this pic without them noticing.
I know I have a vested interest in this shot but even if you didn't know Ali or Blue I reckon you'd think it was kind of cute!

Sweet shot!

Skater girl and some news

I snapped this chicitita cruising the skate bowl today in Welly...and where was on my way to when I spotted her on the halfpipe?
I was on my way to finally pick up my long long long awaited 3Dman tshirts.
Whoooooooo!
So, just to you know ... everyone that ordered them ... I will be sending them out tomorrow. I have the baggies all ready to go into production mode and pack them up and straight out the door to you. You'll defo get them Monday ...but maybe even on Sat if the postie is on form!
Anyway, just wanted to give you that news and...I even got Ali to do a wee pose in the bush outside our door in one of the shirts to show you how they look...
Here you go:

Believe it or not, this little house is in our backyard which backs onto the Wellington Green Belt in Thorndon. It's super super old and must have been an old dolls house for the kids who were here when the house was built at the turn of last, last century.
Anyway ... I've got mine on now. I LOVE a new Tshirt!

Thanks ali and skatergirl for being my sweetshots of the day!
