So I thought I'd post it and get it out there. I will be printing them off in the next week. So stay tuned girls, I will be giving you a whole bunch to pass on to your friends and family.
Thanks again Kate for helping out. I wouldn't of been able to do it without you!!!

It's on all weekend!!

So if you are interested in Roller Derby and you want to meet some amazing women, come along and take a look. There will be music by Nautilus and some performances in between. Stay tuned for the line up. The exhibition will be up for the whole weekend so you can drop in at anytime. Sydney folk, it would be great to catch up with you.

Great Southern Slam!!

Wow, what a weekend. I didn't think one girl could have so much fun in one weekend. Roller Derby has really taken over my life now. It's all I can think about. Ahhhh!! I have learnt so much this weekend. I've learnt new techniques in photography, I've learnt more about Roller Derby rules (there are so many) and I have learnt about the Derby love. The love and support the girls give one another is phenomenal! It's so endearing and sometimes it makes me want to cry!! Well let's not go too far :)

I'd like to thank the WIRD girls for being so enthusiastic about my project and allowing me into their lives. I'd also like to thank the organises of The Great Southern Slam for organising such an amazing event. Thanks guys :)
Here are a few photos to wet your appetite.

Watch out Adelaide, here we come!!

Hello again fellow derby lovers. I recently showed some of my photos at The History of Skating exhibition at the Wollongong Uni sports HUB. It was wonderful seeing all the memorabilia on skating. Good on you WIRD girls for doing a great job!! Esp Jenna and Kim.
So we are counting down to the Great Southern Slam. The girls are very excited and so am I!!

I can't wait to meet some more amazing people in this wonderful roller derby community, and to take some more happy snaps. I will also be doing some sound recording on the weekend that will go towards a slide show I'm creating with a wonderful friend and mentor of mine Susan Angel. Thank you Susan for all your support and guidance. i really appreciate it xx
