portrait of a choking city … [photo of the day]

If you live in New South Wales or Victoria, there’s a good chance you woke up to the end of the world this morning.

Either that or a huge dust storm and an earthquake or two.

I couldn’t resist putting my little point and shoot camera to work on Newcastle. Here are the results. The colours have not been manipulated.

I thought it might be worth taking Scenic Drive into town. I was right.

They were more artistically arranged before I got this shot. The wind was still wreaking havoc.

Merewether Beach, armageddon-style.

King Edward Park wasn't looking itself either.

The Mall was looking pretty normal, actually. (You'll get that if you live in Newcastle.)

You can usually see Nobby's from here.

cheynon and todd … [southern highlands wedding]

Todd drives trains.

Cheynon works in a train-related office.

Most of the guests at their wedding work in the train business (or so it seemed to me).

Their reception venue was a stone’s throw away from a train line.

Are you picking up a theme yet? :D

Anyway, here are Cheynon and Todd’s wedding photos. It was an awesome day (windy wet coldness notwithstanding) … thanks heaps for letting me spend it with you, guys! The fact that it was 07/08/09 was pretty cool, too ;)

Photos: Thirlmere Railway Museum (Cheynon and Todd organised to have their photo session before the ceremony … awesome idea :) )
Ceremony: St Brigid’s Catholic Church, Bundanoon
Reception: Sylvan Glen, Penrose

us … [personal]

It’s hard to believe that Josiah is almost 2 months old. It won’t be long and he’ll be finishing school! :o

Ok, so it’ll be a while before we reach that milestone. Even so, it’s scary how fast he’s growing and changing!

A few weeks after Josiah was born, we asked Bernadette to take a few photos of us. I thought you might like to see a few of my favourites.

Thnks fr th mmrs, Bernadette :)

just because it’s father’s day … [personal]

Josiah smiled at me today.

At least, I think he did. Michelle tells me he smiled at her yesterday, and I’m not willing to accept that he’s already chosen a favourite parent. It’s not supposed to come down to lactation, ok, Joey?

Anyway, real smile or wind smile, today was my first Father’s Day ever, and I loved it! Being a dad is the best thing ever. One day I’ll get all sentimental and tell you why, but for now, here are some photos of the little man who takes my heart with him wherever he goes. And a few other people who matter to me :)

If you’re a dad, Happy Father’s Day! If not, say hi to your dad for me ;)

Cutest. Feet. Ever.

I like to think he was deliberately waving at the camera. Too soon?
