I'm back!

Have you missed me? I thought so ;)
My computer had a conniption a week ago and I have been offline and
suffering terrible withdrawl! 
I have it all up and running for now so I hope it holds out a little until I can buy a new one....which is totally possible with my latest news!


You might remember my news a few weeks back about my photo being selected in the top 10 for the Living Australian Photographic Competition people's choice in New Idea magazine. Well, I didn't win :(.......
But I did get an email last week telling me I was selected in the overall top 20 images by the panel-judged major competition! The comp was judged by an expert panel who were looking for the image that best showcased Australian living....
AND I WON!!!
Here is a link to my announcement and my photo if you missed it before. 
The Australia day council organised flights for Rich and I to fly to Sydney yesterday for the media launch of the Australia Day campaign where the day culminated in them announcing my photo as the winner!

If you google my name you will find all of the media images from the day

There are heaps more around as it was a full press conference! I am on page nine of the Courier Mail here in Brisbane today (half page!) and also in some other National papers etc. 

It will also be in New Idea again next week and I am still interviewing for other mags and papers...crazy!
The whole thing is unbelievable! Rich and I fly back down to Sydney on the weekend for three nights at the Hilton shooting for Getty Images and loads of events etc.

I also have an opportunity to fly back to Sydney for another day during the year to do a one day internship shooting in any of the Getty Images departments...ooooh red carpet anyone! Seriously!

Oh and did I mention the $3000 cash prize...hello Macbook Pro :)

I am still in complete shock and can not believe my little backyard snap has created such a stir...amazing! 

I will pop back in with some of my photos of yesterday's jaunt to Sydney...loads of celebrity encounters and incredibly talented industry people which was overwhelming!

Back soon.....
