Wasn't game to plug it back in at the wall till this morning. The "storm" was all lightning, no rain - very disappointing. Tazar - ouch! I remember sunburn all too well. You don't realise you're burnt till you get in the shower at night -OW! And yes I oathe being in photos too. That's why I'm behind the shutter! Kim, can't wait to see your brilliant photos now! Can I help "supervise" the tradies too? But only the ripped ones. Mandy, yes, enjoying the "no deadline" stress, that's for sure. Just the mundane everyday stuff again... Diane, yes I watch with dismay as our super posts yet another negative return... We'll NEVER retire at this rate! What sort of computer probs are you having? Hope things brighten up for you both soon... Gav, Jez hates his facial expressions in that skate pic. I didn't care - I had deadlines - no time to reshoot! What sort of doggy have you? Must pop over to your blog and see... Elizabeth - you make me laugh! I have that woolly brain feeling every morning. I groan getting out of bed - just ten more minutes pleeeease.... Definately Troppo season, so a local has told me. All this heat, humidty and oppresive clouds, but NO rain. They predict up to 5 cyclones this season, as early as December if you believe them. Glad to make the purchase for you. Just drop me an email and we can work out the details. Now go get some sleep! Hey Everyone,

Sorry no post yesterday – the lightening zapped out the power twice, once while the machine was rebooting from the first balckout. Wasn’t game to plug it back in at the wall till this morning. The “storm” was all lightning, no rain – very disappointing.

Tazar – ouch! I remember sunburn all too well. You don’t realise you’re burnt till you get in the shower at night -OW! And yes I oathe being in photos too. That’s why I’m behind the shutter!

Kim, can’t wait to see your brilliant photos now! Can I help “supervise” the tradies too? But only the ripped ones.

Mandy, yes, enjoying the “no deadline” stress, that’s for sure. Just the mundane everyday stuff again…

Diane, yes I watch with dismay as our super posts yet another negative return… We’ll NEVER retire at this rate! What sort of computer probs are you having? Hope things brighten up for you both soon…

Gav, Jez hates his facial expressions in that skate pic. I didn’t care – I had deadlines – no time to reshoot! What sort of doggy have you? Must pop over to your blog and see…

Elizabeth – you make me laugh! I have that woolly brain feeling every morning. I groan getting out of bed – just ten more minutes pleeeease….

A teenager allowing his mother to take the photos and entering into the spirit of the project and nary a scowl to be seen. Onya Jez..... Would it be a presumption of me to take up your kind offer and send you the money for the item you offered to purchase for me?...eeer have just woken up from sleeping off the effects of night duty for the past five nights... this hour is the equivalent of the wee hours of the morning for me...have to keep true to my insomnia...if I misunderstood please put it down to a wooly brain and forgive as do not wish to overstep any boundaries of this cyber world he he...am reading a sci fi about machines turned feral engaging in an endless war with the human race all over the galaxies....so do not want a computer to turn monster on me.....I am reading what they do to humans ...not nice Yah your monsoon has begun if I am not mistaken by the weather map.....when I was in the bush living in the Gulf and young would take off all my clothes and run about in the rain and water with a sense of joy.....going troppo it was called. I want you to consider when the rains begin, racing down Clifton Beach in the n..de,(will not let me post that word) then you can lay claim to assimilating to the far north from a genuine born and bred far north Queenslander who used to think Brisbane was a foreign country and Sydney weeel beyond the pale.....I think I did it once or twice the running clothless thing that is, at Machans or was that Ellis naw come to think of it Palm????very liberating I think am a little hazy on the details.....was the 60's I believe..... Cheers Hi Cindy,

Awesome job though, photoshop can let you do some amazing things, good fun away from the brushes. Kath tried to play with it , but i think technology has her beat. You are obviously accepting of technology (living in blogland) and its working to your advantage. You should get the skate one printed onto a canvas and give it to son for xmas. I have dog named cindy now!!!! Named before we got her, so not being stalker!!!!! http://www.gavjackson.bigblog.com.au/ I dont know where you get the patience!!

Although it was stressful at the time I bet it is fun playing around with pics when you are not under pressure. The skate shot is great. It is our turn to be stressed, with our hard earned savings in superannuation disappearing before our eyes and centrelink not being very helpful and worst of all computer problems. Amazing pics.

I have a feeling you`re not alone with feeling relief uni is over....It can be very time consuming and quite stressful.... Make the most of the summer break and enjoy the freedom while it lasts....

Enjoy your break!

My only experience of that is manipulating pixels in a zoomed in "paint" drawing.... very basic. The Live to Skate one is pretty cool. How does Jez feel being the star? I remember when I was a young teen my older brother was doing his photogaphy degree and I ended up being the unwilling model of many a weird and wonderful composition - using the amazing special effects available circa mid Seventies. But 'his cruellest one was accomplished with no special effects - just a protrait of me age around 14 staring like a stunned mullet out of a severly sun burned & blistered face. No slip slop slap back then. I fell asleep in the sun on a boat. Even my eyelids and lips peeled. Needless to say I hate being photographed these days....
