off to melbourne

im all packed and ready to go - just waiting on my hair dresser to come and fix my wild hair....i cant believe how crazy it gets some days. I spent most of the day in my jammies and when i wewnt to have a shower after lunch i was horrified to see how i had been walking around all day LOL. I cant believe no one mentioned it. usually josh screams like he is in a horror movie when my hair is like this. i think they were all secretly hoping i would go to melbourne like this and not notice LOL.

worked with ryan all last night on my new site for wedding photography. he is so good at this stuff, i wish he had the motivation and drive to do it for others. but at least he still likes to do my sites (i think mainly because i give him a fair bit of creative licence). you can find it at www.j-weddings.net it isnt finished yet, i still want to take some new self portraits (ick - hate being on that side of the camera) and of course we need to make it so it looks good at all screen res' and different browsers. at the moment its best viewed in firefox at 1024x768 - very happy with it. i want him to revamp my portrait site too (daisyhillphotography.net - current one also by ryan).

we just got finished when miss maddy came out (at 1am) - covered in puke. she wasnt a happy camper. so showered her, cleaned up the mess and put her back to bed. poor thing.

at the moment the 4 girls and I share a room. sounds crazy - but there are two bunks - maddy in one top, chels on the other top, the twins in a bed together (the generally clcimb into bed together anyway) and me in the other. when i go to bed late at night the girls often wake up and while i hate disrupting their sleep i love interacting with them late at night when its just us. the other night i took a photo of each of them at about 2am when i went to bed. taken at 1600iso they are far from technically perfect but i love them all!!!

from oldest to youngest...

how did i get so lucky? to get to hang out with the 4 coolest kids in the world everyday of my life?

ok so hair dresser is almost here and i need to pack up my laptop. thank goodness tuesdays house has wireless net so not only do i get to hang out with my good photog buddy and her cute boys all week, i can stay connected AND get to play with her brand new 40d - this is the camera im thinking of getting when i finally retire my old girl at the end of this year. the 10d has served me beautifully for almost 2 years. alot of my fellow photogs are shocked when they find out i shoot with her and not a 5d like everyone seems to have. while your equipment needs to be good, just goes to show its not what camera you use, but how you use it.

signing off for now.

Motion City Soundtrack - My Favourite Accident
I got the message long before you said you knew
There was no chance of us at all
With no velocity and empty-headed hard and far-too-long
I spent two years alone with you
Just when I thought I had forgotten
You came back soft without a sound

You said we were an accident
With accidents you’ll never know what could have been
So we were an accident
You’ll always be my favorite one

You hit the road and left me an ocean
I can't swim in the silence of your skin-skin please let me in
Side the times we never had right
Inside two years alone with you

You said we were an accident
With accidents you’ll never know what could have been
So we were an accident
You’ll always be my favorite one

We could have been (We could have been again)
Instead of accidental running always running (why can’t you believe)
We could have been (We could have been again)

Long winded promises of future company
Up close the sound remains the same
Without the reign of terror over every momentary change
We are exactly as before

You hit the road and left me an ocean
I can't swim in the silence of your skin-skin please let me in
Side the time I had to forget you
Inside no chance of us at all
