Road Trip!!

So I was excited to head up to Newcastle to see the Steel City Derby Dolls take on the Dockyard Dames on their home turf. It was officially my first game and I was overwhelmed by the support and enthusiasm of the Newcastle crowd. I was almost deafened many times by there screams. It was hard to concentrate on the actual game as I started clicking away like mad. I positioned myself at the end of the ring, this is what they call suicide seating. I now know why they call it that. I was lucky to escape a couple of times. This made it even more exciting!
So around 400 photos later!! The game was over and the Steel City Dolls narrowly lost against the Dockyard Dames. The final round was tense and the girls gave it there hardest. Good on you girls, I am seriously NOT worthy!! You guys are amazing!!
I'd like to thank Jasmin for coming along and inspiring me and assisting me and also putting up with me screaming at the traffic and navigator man.

So everybody, I hope you have tickets for the next bout in Wollongong. I wouldn't miss it for the world :)

my first taste...

Alas, my roller derby project has begun. I went to my first training session with the girls. Let me tell you those girls are fit! It was interesting to see that they dress up for training too. They must have to get used to playing in fishnets. So here are a couple of pics to give you a taste.
Don't forget the girls are having a bout in newcastle next week. Steel city versus steel city. For more information go to http://www.wird.com.au/

Baby steps...

I've finally decided to join the rest of the world and start a blog. I've been inspired by my friend Margie's blog, thanks honey x check it out myveryowneyegoggles.blogspot.com
So I am a photographer, sculptor, artist etc etc. Lover of life and good food and vibrant, pure, fun people. I am working on a few projects this year and since I haven't got my act together with my website I thought I better start documenting something.
My next project is documenting the lives of the Wollongong Illawarra Roller Derby chicks. I recently saw the movie Whip It! and I absolutley loved it!! I also started to hear about the girls through various friends. So I decided to focus on these brave, strong sexy women. So in the next few months I'll be updating photos stories and anything else coming my way.
I also plan on doing a Handbag Project. I have been talking about it for too long now. So I'm looking for woman to pose for me with there trusty handbags and then reveal the contents of them. I know this can be a personal challenge for some but I find it fascinating to see what women carry around with them. Don't you? I was also thinking about weighing the bags. Let's wait and see what happens.
So that's all for now. Hello world!!
