Blogging is fine when you are consistent

I was really hoping to create this blog in some sort of chronological order. Then days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into over a month... oops.

So much has happened within my photographic world, and well I think I missed the boat slightly with regards to any sort of order of blogging about it here, make that any sort of timely order.

Please forgive me if I jump around a little with my future posts. Without further ado let's start with today.

Just another Tuesday in my life, where I work from home performing my "day time" or should I say full time paying job. Since being published in the Leader Newspaper a few months back, and being asked by the editor to continue to contribute its become a ritual of mine to check the online version of the paper on Tuesday.

So in I wander to their webpage Online Maroondah Leader click on Croydon/Ringwood area, scroll through the pages hoping to see a photo I've taken, page 14 - nope, page 16 - nope ... page 20 - BINGO. There in front of me is a large photo of 4 young boys at their Auskick presentation day.


My photo - hooray I celebrate quietly to myself. This is the second time I've been lucky enough to have a photo of my son and his buddies from Auskick published in the local paper. (The fourth image I've had published this year).

The first time generated a lot of interest in my sons grade at school with the teacher cutting out the photo and posting it on their bulletin board for all the class to see. Last time I was on literacy duty a few of the girls pointed out that they'd like me to take THEIR photos for the newspaper. I promised them I'd try. Yes girls, I am still trying.

Oh and last time the boys were in the paper, you might notice one of them changed footy teams, much to his Dad's disgust. Oh well that's kids and their footy loyalties I guess.

Here is the photo which was published in the Maroondah Leader on July 7th, 2009 (page 17) .. caption (as provided by me) read :

Footy Friends: Bonds of Mateship start young at Auskick in Croydon Hills. Mitchell, Mitchell and Thomas enjoy each other's company at Croydon Hills Auskick clinics on Saturdays, 9-10:30am

This photo is also a finalist in the 2009 Centro Smile Photographic competition. The national winner will be announced in November.

Oh and while I remember did you spot the child who changed teams?
