LEST WE FORGET

This is a poster design I did for ANZAC Day, dedicated to my Grandpa.

Anzac Day is a national day of rememberance in Australia and New Zealand to commemorate and honour the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli in World War I. It now broadly commemorated all those who died and served in military operations for their countries.

Grandpa was called up for service in the army as an electrician in 1941 when Japan commenced the war in the pacific. He was stationed in army workshops in Newcastle and Sydney and then was transferred to watercraft workshops. His unit was moved to Cairns in Queensland where they stayed for 2 years, then the unit moved overseas to a base on Moritai Island, then to North Borneo and finally stationed on Labian Island where he remained until the war ceased. 

This poster features photos of my Grandpa and a Women's Weekly paper clipping of him protecting his country as seen below. I couldn't be more proud!

Graduation Day

21.04.2012

It was last November that I actually finished studying and here I am five months later Graduating at the University of Newcastle. It's taken me 16 years to complete my education and to reach this point in my life, it was a beautiful day and I got to celebrate it with the ones I love most, which made it just that more special. A big thanks to everyone who has supported me over these last few years, you know who you are! All my hard work paid off and I graduated with a distinction!This is not the end, but just the beginning. I look forward to what the future has in store for me.

Feathered Friends...

I love birds if you haven't already guessed!
I love watching them, painting them, and photographing them.
I just find them so beautiful and fascinating! I could watch them all day!

I love going on walks with my camera at hand, taking photos of birds, I don't care what I have to do to get the magic shot, even if it means running after a bird like a maniac in front of a group of people. (This has happened on several occasions, people get a good laugh out of it.)

I particularly LOVE close ups, I like to show intense detail that some people may have never seen before because they have never had the chance to get close enough.

Here are some photos I have taken recently on my walks:

Happy Easter...

07.04.2012

Many people celebrate Easter as a time to give each other chocolate! BUT not many people know exactly what the real meaning of Easter is, and it can be forgotten when chocolate is the main focus.


Good Friday is a day that commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death.
Easter Sunday is the day when we celebrate Jesus Christ rising from the dead. 


Jesus rose from the dead; now He offers to you the gift of eternal life and forgiveness of sins. 


So have a great Easter however you choose to celebrate it!
