As some of you know I've been having trouble with my eyes, yesterday I went to the specialist so today was recovering at home. My wife and I work together at the same company in Pyrmont. She just rang up to say she'd been having a nice chat to a photographer that was doing a shoot on the wharf where we work. This arvo he is doing a Sports Illustrated Photo shoot just meters from my workstation!!! He's a Canon guy, but he spent a while show my wife all his lens and talking about his upcoming shoots etc, his also going Sunday's Grand Final. She took a few dodgey photo's on her camera phone, but I'm spewing I'm not at work to check out the gear and also watch the photoshoot. BUGGER!

Yeah the shoot is for this afternoon, he was just scouting the place out, checking angles and stuff apparently, the boys at work have the beer ready.

Address is Jones Bay Wharf, Pyrmont (near Star City Casino) and Flying Fish (a fancy resturant).

Consider your self lucky Alpha 7

all the time pain expense and effort to get your eyes fixed only to have them pop out of your head :shock:

rest them till they get 100% better. PS I recently had to go to the local strip club to judge the wet T shirt competition amazing what you get invited to when you are polite and take photos of young ladies who are handing out business cards on the street!!!!!!!!

As that other great photog - Maxwell Smart - used to say - "missed it by that much "
RIP Don
So many ideas. So little time.

Sorry to hear that you missed it :( I'm very sorry I missed it and meeting the guy, sounds like he's a good bloke to know).

Looking forward to seeing your photo's though...
