It was a windy day and we were trying so hard to keep the balloons from flying off into the wind and from bursting!

Stacey and Sean are Getting Married!
Stacey & Sean and so cute and easy going... I cannot wait to photograph their wedding this June!
Rehashing January... the photoshoot with 21 people
Whilst I was in Singapore in the month of January early this year I was lucky enough to photograph this beautiful family of 21! Many also flew into Singapore especially for this photo shoot.
Li Hsien, a fellow Lindy Hopper saw my photos via Facebook and contacted to book me in for a family photoshoot. Facebook is quite the powerful social networking and business tool!
I still remember the hot and humid day, and the kids all running around. The most important thing was the love and laughter that the family shared with each other!
Thank you for sharing this moment with me, I really enjoyed this session with everyone!
These photos are all so priceless... and hopefully will be enjoyed for many years to come!

Fringe World, The De Parel Speigeltent Perth
It is a godsend when you have a bunch of well dressed dance people, mixed with an awesome band, a beautiful venue with great lighting.
What more can a photographer ask for?
Darling Buds of May performed at Fringe World, De Parel Speigeltent in Perth WA.
Jessie and the band were so awesome...

New York- Asheville- Friends I left behind...
For those of you who know me, you probably know that I live, breathe, eat Swing Dancing and Photography.
It has been part of my goal in life, to make swing dancing part of my travels, wherever I go to in the world. The socialisation that comes with dancing is so awesome for those of you who who have never experienced it. We all speak the same language; that is our passion and love for the dance. And sometimes, we meet at some other part of the world.
The only sad aspect of it is when we have to say goodbye... thank you for all the memories, dancing... and the laughter, hugs and drinks!
I'll see you soon on the dance floor, some place, some time.

Lindy Focus, Asheville, North Carolina
Lindy Focus 2010 (27th Dec to 1st Jan 2011)
Back in sunny Perth, very sunny, in Western Australia 39d or 102F. I am wishing for snow instead, there's a Cyclone warning coming through.
Lindy Focus was a pretty awesome event with at least 500 people in Asheville, North Carolina. Getting there was a little tricky for me, as I was leaving from from NYC. All the airports were snowed in, and I only got to Asheville at 4pm on the Thursday.
I was sort of living on a Murphy's Law thing, that anything could go wrong, would go wrong. On my last trip to NYC in 2005, Northworst (sorry Northwest) airlines lost of luggage. There was no way in hell that I would be at a Lindy event without my dance shoes!
I decided to take a smaller bag, and not check in my luggage. Delta planes are tiny, and they had to take everyone's hand carry bags at the gate anyway in exchange for a pink tag. Hmmm... ok. When we got to Asheville, remember Murphy's Law? Not only was my flight delayed for 2 hours at La Guardia but, the 'elevator' that carried the hand luggage got jammed and the doors didn't open. Now, the irony of the situation was that the peeps that checked in their luggage, got their luggage and I was still waiting...
So... finally at Lindy Focus... here are some photos of teachers that I took that I liked!

What I really love is the intensity of people's faces when they are dancing.

New York so far
New York has been a bundle of emotions for me so far...
I got to see snow for the first time and ended up in a Blizzard...
My lovely cousin, Vicky lives there and generously put me up. She is awesome!
I spent a lovely Christmas there and then was very excited to go to Asheville, North Carolina for some Swing. Unfortunately, as many of you know, all the flights going in and out of JFK were cancelled due to bad snow.
I was pretty devastated but took things in stride, my cousin took me to see The Nutcracker with the NYC Ballet at the Lincoln Centre. It was pretty amazing.
Here are some photos of my trip so far...

My Swing Dancing partner in crime, Amanda came along from Perth too... Unfortunately, although a day late, she is already swing dancing in Asheville before me. :( I caught some pretty ones of her before she left me... hmmmpph
I thought I would go swing dancing in NYC. I arranged to meet up with Trev and Annaliese who are from Perth and are travelling around the country. Due to the weather, many gigs and events were cancelled... which added to my downer. However, the one night that we managed to go out, it was pretty awesome!
Here are some shots from Swing 46 which is an awesome Swing bar with live Big Band music featuring the George Gee Orchestra.
Ok, off to Asheville now... fingers crossed... xoxo
