The Lovely Samantha hit the city sporting a racy new dress to catch up with her gal pals on Friday. Dunno how, but the girls seem to invent new excuses to socialise. First it was "book club" (5 minutes of book review, 1hr 55 of Gossip), then it was "The Artist way club" (5 minutes of art therapy, 1hr 55 of Gossip) and now a "destress club" (5minutes of rhythmic breathing, several hours of Gossip).
Still gave Bodhi and I time to enjoy the manly pursuits of watching firemen attend to the next door neighbour's house (singed pride but no major damage). Bodhi thought Christmas had come early.
We hadn't yet had our new neighbours over (not the pyromaniacs, the others), so we made them brunch on Saturday. A novel experience. I spent a few hours at Clovelly learning to use a mate's underwater camera before heading back, picking up the troops and heading over to a friend's for dinner.
Sunday I was on assignment which sounds much cooler than it is. The gala opening of the revamped Leichhardt aquatic center needed coverage so yours truly got the nod to shoot a covershot for the local rag.
The brief was to shoot the official ribbon cutting but to try and get more happy smiley kiddy shots which is a difficult ask in this era of post Bill Henson paranoia. Still, I successfully avoided any untoward glances by being upfront, honest, but above all pre-arranging a friend's kids to be the main focus. Favourite shot of the day which wont see the cover is no doubt a mid air shot of Olympic gold medal diver Matthew Mitcham doing his thing from the 10m diving platform. Talk about heights.see ya,
Minas.
