Monkey yoga

Monkey YogaThis little cutie is the baby orang-u-tan living at Perth zoo. I thought he was worth watching for a little while as he seems to be a bit of a poser already. Flexible little bugger isnt he!

Dr sketchy's anti art class - boys boys boys.


This is my favourite photo from this shoot. So much so that I have also posted the black and white version also. I looks so much better when viewed large.



I went along to my very first "Dr Sketchy's Anti-art class at the Brisbane hotel on Monday night.

These fabulous classes are run on the first Monday of every month and it is for all the people who like to sketch live models. Some of them were really good and some were, shall we say, not so good. But everyone has fun. Nice little jazz track playing in the background or the dimly lit room. I was in heaven. Got to have baileys and shoot some pics! I had asked(ok, well begged) the lovely girls who run this If it would be ok for me to take some snaps instead of sketching. Stay tuned you may even see my snaps on their website!

We had two lovely boys as models on this night and thankfully if they minded their pictures being taken they didnt say so. The picture above is one of my favourites from the shoot. I love the veins on the shoulder and the arm. Of course, who doesnt like the look of a nicely buffed torso!



Of course for those of you who like backs, I couldnt disappoint you either.






This one underneath I quite like. Has so much emotion to it. On the one hand person a has decided to leave and already has turned his back and is walking away. Person b is holding on. Defeated but gently holding onto that last bit of hope. Could be friends or brothers. Ok Ok I know perhaps I am overthinking my shots and perhaps I am the only one who sees these things in them. Some photos do seem to have a story to tell you though be it true or fabricated.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I did taking them.
