Orchestre Nouveau at Holy Trinity

Orchestre Nouveau performing at Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Kew. 

Again, I want a sound blimp! :)

Anne Hayres at Kojo Brown

Anne Hayres singing Jazz at Kojo Brown restaurant in Richmond. Dark environment so was skeptical what I could get. Credits go to the low light performance of the Nikon D3s and 85mm f/1.8 lens. But most of all, to Anne and her band for a wonderful night of entertainment. That Honey Suckle Rose was smooth as silk. LOVE!

Boroondara Scottish Fiddle

Pleasant sunny afternoon + Music + Dance + Ice Cream. What more could you ask for?

Juwita Suwito at BMW Edge

One of the biggest music talents and veteran from Malaysia, Juwita Suwito performing at BMW Edge, backed by a full orchestra. Awesome!

Emmy Bryce at BMW Edge

Annual Ballet School Performance

Annual Gala Performance is definitely a highlight for me every year. After all, the whole school spent many months working towards that one performance, and parent, teachers and students alike take so much pride and joy seeing the fruit of their hard work. Personally, I really love seeing all these happy littlies perform and older littlies minding, helping and instructing the younger ones and working together toward the same goal.

Here are the pics from one school - The Caprice School of Ballet. As much as I would like to show these pics, you can appreciate that I am obliged to protect these children's privacy, etc. Please go to The Caprice School of Ballet for the rest of the pics.

Australia Day 2013

Different from previous years, I wasn't contracted to shoot citizenship ceremony. Got to be sensitive to privacy of our new citizens. Congratulations by the way. So instead, I was contracted for two different shoots and here is one of them - screen of the famous Australian movie Red Dog outside there newest building, the MC2.

This is not the full crowd but wanted to show you this to appreciate what the organiser did. They hire out beanbags and put down greens on the concrete and made the place warm and homely. Well done! They also gave out flags and many brought along blankets to keep warm. Yep, despite being a summer evening in Melbourne, Australia Day was pretty cold and very high percentage of shower also. Thank God the man upstairs cleared the sky. Still the wind was cold and it does get a bit windy at that spot.

After the sun has set.

Taken upstairs from inside MC2 of the crowd, the screen and traffic in the back. Because the movie was projected from the back, I can see the movie from behind also. Great!

Local residents all rugged up and enjoying the movie. I wasn't required to stay through Red Dog but did anyway because it is a very good and touching story, built on mining town as the backdrop and a very touching story of an Australia Kelpie that just loves people and helps various individuals through their lives until he found his own master, who later died from am motorcycle accident. Both in the movie and in real life Red Dog (actual name Koko) died which is very sad. Koko just died around Christmas time last year (2012) at the age of seven, short of 2 years after the release of Red Dog.

Hey, not a perfectly exposed shot of Koko/Red Dog, but it is from the screen. Hope Koko has gone to dog heaven. RIP Koko.
