A word of warning...
I do have some photos coming soon...just need to get them together.
I want to take this opportunity to give words of warning to all amateur, avid photographers out there.
Always empty your memory cards on a computer/hard drive (don't even rely on USB thumbdrives - they are destined to crash!). Even if you think you may have done it, put a copy onto your computer/hard drive.
A recent experience of my wife and I had some of the photos that I took for this blog, along with a whole holiday's experience and a significant birthday party's photos wiped from existence. The card needed to be used again and photos were wiped from the card.
Although there are various programmes that can recover lost photos, the memory card was written over again, and not a single photo we were looking for could be retrieved.
This is every photographer's nightmare, but it needs to be done to ensure your masterpieces are not lost forever.

D90 Collection
I apologise if I assumed the wrong person taking photos with the D90. Thanks for the photos, all the same.
Group A's 'Knife' Series
Just to calm your nerves, no one was harmed during these photo shots with the knife (and in the McBeth Collection) - it's all an act of creativity.
The next few posts...
The next few posts I'm going to do are photos from my 23rd birthday party. I decided to do something a bit creative outside the conventions of your average birthday get together, and make it a photographic experience. People brought cameras (or shared and modelled in photos) and we looked at each other's photos at the end of it. We found the best way to do it was to make it a time limited, group photographic experience in the outdoors. These are some of the photos that came out of this experience.
If you think that this could be an interesting experience to have, let me know. I have thought about doing another event like this (just for the photography aspect - not birthday), but for those who are eager and interested in making it better.
I hope you enjoy, and I haven't stated anyone's names due to privacy, but I have received permission to post the people photographed.

Worth 1%?
Okay, I found this on a kerb and thought it was funny. Who's house is only worth 1%? Some person decided to express this in chalk.
Blown Up Car
I took this photo on the corner of the exit to Roe Highway on Clayton Street in Bellevue/Midvale a few years ago. It was an exploded car on the side of the road and I thought it would be a great opportunity for a photo.
Fremantle Woolstores
These are some photos that I took outside the run down Woolstores building in Fremantle in December 2010. I didn't take the Joy Men photo there - I took that on the way there! A bit more urban photography.
