I’m going to study Fine Art Photography this year!

I dared to dream it
I whispered about it to a very few trusted souls
I was given good advice
I did the thing I thought I couldn’t do

& I just want to say thank YOU.

If I hadn’t had this blog
If I hadn’t fallen in love with Michelle
If I hadn’t been brave
If I didn’t have wonderful, supportive family & friends
If I didn’t have a space for ‘me’

I never would have done it.

It’s going to be a big year.

Did you know I won the Canon Island competition?

Here are my entries…just for the record. Five images submitted over 10 weeks to briefs supplied by Canon.

The prize is a trip to Canon Island at the end of the month!

Thank you all so much for supporting me with your votes and general words of encouragement. I really, really appreciate it! xxx

Email me your address Leah & I’ll send the click in the post.

Thanks so much for playing along guys & thank you so very much for your support so far. This is the very last week of the competition & if you’d like to vote to send me out of the state & if I win the final round we get another chance at an IXUS for you guys.

It’s from Canon & it’s to say thanks so much for making me the winner of the “Eye Land” round in the Canon Island competition.

Canon have passed on the IXUS as a iveawaygay to you guys! Just leave a comment on the post & one of you will be the proud new owner of this rather teeny but packed with features click! Most excellent I say…thanks for sticking around & supporting me through this whole hoo ha. I really appreciate it!

AND another thing… if you’d like yet another chance at an IXUS you can vote for the current round “My Land”. If you are facebooky can vote right here or maybe you’d like to read all about my place on the map. It’s kind of a cute story – not quite the boy next door but pretty close.

Thanks a bunch you guys. xx

Ok, so maybe the pig latin thing was a little over the top.

A few people completely didn’t get it & for that I apologise.

Here’s the deal…

I was the winner of challenge 3 of the Canon Island competition. The win was for the picture that I took of the pavlova. Canon are giving the winner of each round a camera to pass on to their voting community to say thanks to you all for getting behind me.

The winner of the camera is…

Please email me with your address Brooke & I’ll shoot the camera in the mail to you.

I want to make it clear that I haven’t received anything for winning the Dessert Round. There are two remaining rounds. The Eye Land round which is currently being voted for and the final challenge which is titled My Land. The winner of each of these rounds will receive IXUS cameras to iveawaygay to their community. So…if you would like another opportunity to win you can vote for my Eye Land pic here.

Sorry for speaking pig latin at you & I promise if I win again I’ll speak in plain english (except for the word iveawaygay – we don’t want randos winning YOUR prize)!
