Personal Journey and Adventures of Nina

Thank you to Narelle and other organisers at Cherrybrook Carlile for inviting me to shoot at their meet this past weekend. It was great to switch to the long course format for an interesting change. All of the images are available on my swim site. (click here )

I recently had the pleasure of helping a friend and dog trainer extraordinaire, Ann, at her ASDOG informative talk at Sydney University.  Ann, as well as other dedicated trainers, raise carefully selected Labrador or Golden Retriever puppies toward being support dogs for those people with disabilities who would like to maintain a bit more independence.  I marveled as these dogs demonstrated their skills at turning on light switches, picking up dropped mobile phones and keys, carrying baskets and much more. There is a long list of clever abilities on the ASDOG website. I wish my kids were as helpful at putting things away! Picking up a dropped notepad.. Pulling up her owners blanket. As well as being clever and helpful, they are pretty darn cute.

Well, it's official. Contracts have been signed and I am now the official photographer for NSW Swimming . You will find all your official swim action photographs from all NSW Swim events such as State Championships, Metro Championships, Country Championships and more, all here on my official swim site.  I will offer prints, canvases, jpegs and Memory Mates with the name of the event as well as swimmer name. You just need to sign up at the Photo Desk at each event. Remember, only two swimmers per race so get in early! See you at The Championships. Memory Mate

Quay Restaurant is situated at the Ocean Liner terminal in Sydney Harbour. After dinner we went for a stroll upstairs and out onto the deck. The view is outstanding. I can understand why so many functions are held here. Old Sydney Town has some pretty buildings.

This is a marvellous performance by the boys from  Marist North Shore in collaboration with the girl schoools, Willoughby and Mercy College. If you get a chance, do go. It ends this Saturday, June 16th 2012. Tickets are on sale at TRYBOOKING . Not only is the singing, acting and dancing good, the school band, along with a few sensational friends and led by Rod Herbert, is amazing! Regarded as Australia's premier trumpeter, Danny May's rips into a solo that will send shivers down your spine! You will want to return another night, just to listen to the music...
