Hey, sorry I havent been around lately.

Things that have been keeping me away include:
-training
-tournaments
-grading
-instructing
-boyfriend
-motorcycle rides
-playing on quads
-training
-studying
-instructing some more

which has left me with no creative juice left to spare. Creating lesson plans and training schedules while studying anatomy, exercise physiology and general other assorted fitness training things uses up a suprisingly large amount of creativity.

But I'm on a (kinda) break now, and I am hoping to get my camera out to document whatever comes my way. We're planning a sword photoshoot sometime this summer and hope to hit the beach at some stage. Many plans to get the camera out on a motorcycle trip (hopefully more then one) too. So hopefully I will actually submit some stuff sometime soon. lol.

Otherwise I send all my love and thoughts to everyone this holiday season. A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all.

<3

Sorry for being away so long. I've been so hectic the past few months that I haven't had the chance to get the camera out, let a long edit and post them. I've finish my Fitness course so now I am a qualified fitness instructor which just adds to my skills as a martial arts instructor, so now I have time while I am looking for work again however the course has sparked my brain into gear once again and I am keen to learn more about anything! I'm currently trying to learn the native tongue of Norfolk Island as my boyfriend is from there and has grand plans of taking me there over the summer.

Other then that I have been playing with Motorbikes and playing with swords and generally just having a blast! I definitely need to get my own motorbike sometime in the near future - its always been a big want but after cruising around on the back of my boy's I want to go play on one by myself. The closer we lean in a corner the bigger the grin on my face which I just think goes to prove that I'm meant to be on a bike.

Anyways I hope to get some shots of the boys on their bikes playing mid corner and what not so hopefully I can get that done soon and post them up. We just need a clear weekend! Wet Weather does not make for happy bike riding (unless its in the mud on a dirty). Plus I have a few other ideas I want to toy with on my camera.

Hope everyone else is well!

Woah, Holy moses. One of my favorite photos (that I've taken) was featured! [ Here: [link] ]

Its really encouraging me lately to try to find the time to do more photography. I'm going to have to get my hands on a less professional more portable camera for when I go on bike trips with my boy. We go to some really beautiful places and it would be fun to get some photographs from those trips. As for rust, I've always found it beautiful in an odd diseased way.

Thank you for featuring me!

Wow, what a great response to the fire twirling pics. Thank you so much to everyone (and there was a lot of you) who or commented. Its really encouraging for me, and gives me a great indication that what I'm doing is working right now. I really love fire and I love the abstract art that the twirling creates on long exposure. Its certainly something that I want to continue to do and to get better at.
