With all the floods down in Brisbane this year, reading all the amazing stories of survival and humanity...I'd made a promise to myself that I would take the kids to the Australia Day celebrations this year. It worked out well, because I had entered a photo of my Dad plus some others into the Australia Day Faces and Places of the tablelands Competition, and I wanted to see the entries. The activities were all free for the kids, and they had the best time. Jumping castles, face painting, sand art. It was loads of fun :)
I'm happy to announce that I did get a place in this years competition. I won 2nd place for the Digital Faces Comp. Very happy with my achievement :)
This photo is a perfect example of being in the right place at the right time. This wasn't posed, or set up in any way. I didn't even enhance it that much, I just did one of my black and white conversions. I was just mucking around with my camera, and kinda took Dad by surprise. This is probably one of the best photo's of my dad that I've ever seen. It will be one that gets handed down to generation after generation :) It proves to me, that photography is about capturing the emotion and that the lens can actually see beyond what the eye see's. This image, shows my 'true' Dad, the person that he is inside.
