state of emergency in pattaya

Well here we are in Pattaya, Thailand and the Thai government has declared a state of emergency here because of the political demonstrations between the red shirts and the yellow shirts. Pattaya has basically been shut down and although Henry and I are a kilomtre or two away there has been loads of helicopters flying overhead taking all the ASEAN leaders away from the postponed ASEAN conference and a curfew has been declared. Lucky for us that we are staying at my brother's place and a little out of the way. Lets hope its resolved quickly and that the airport isnt closed like a couple of weeks ago.

Thailand here we come!

My son, Henry and I will be flying to Thailand tomorrow to stay with family, and although it will be a well deserved rest for both of us I will be doing a couple of portraits in Pattaya. I cannot wait!
We wont be away long, in fact I am back into it on the 21st with several portraits booked for when I get back I'll be all, rested and tanned ( but not too much!!)

Don't forget Mother's Day!! You can arrange a voucher via email which can be posted when I get back.

love, hugs and peace!!

one more before I go.....

What a delight this wee bubba was, so snuggly and his spirited big brother was very gorgeous, too!

I've been shortlisted!!!

Got a call from one of the Head On Portraiture Competition organisers today that one of the images I submitted to the Australia wide competition has been shortlisted for the exhibition with the winner to be announced on the 30th April. I AM SOOOOO EXCITED!! There are 40 shortlisted artists/photographers from several thousand entries, so I am absolutely stoked. The image in question is of my dear friend Billy who recently died and although I am so proud of it I am unable to show it here at this time. Billy would be so proud of me too!
Love you Billy! xx
