Life's been crazy!

Life has been crazy! Crazy in a good way, but crazy nonetheless.

A friend and I are putting together a photography exhibition! The Gallery manager wants it ASAP to capture the tourists still in the area. So, ASAP means opening night is Friday 14th Sept. We only had THE meeting with the manager 1 week ago! That's not too bad, really, however I go away tomorrow for treatment (ivf) and i don't know when I will be 'allowed' home.

In the last week we have decided on the exhibition title "Outback- through my lens" and we have started trawling through our photographs to select THE ones that we want on display. That is a harder task than you'd imagine.

We decided that 20-30 A4 images each as well as two poster sized and about 10-20 6*4, series type images, would fill the space nicely. I have selected my two images that I want enlarged and I have sent them off to a place in Townsville. I will hopefully be able to pick them up when I am there next week.

I THINK I have the 'series' shots organised. I have a series of four images of a flock of Corella's coming in to roost for the night; a series of eight of a cow licking her calf and a series of six of a wedgetail eagle coming in to land on a fence post. I, of course, love them all. I hope the viewers do too!

I also THINK I have selected the images I want on display. Mr Fabulous, who is my biggest fan, yet also my greatest critic, says that I have a great selection of images. Again, I hope the viewers do too!!

We completed our promotional flyer yesterday and if I do say so myself, it looks great.

Mr Fabulous has been away for the last few days. Sedan Dip campdraft, rodeo and bush races is on this week end. I would normally go for the races, however not this year. There is a nasty flu doing the rounds and the last thing I need, is to get it, on top of everything else going on. I have managed to remain well, despite Mr Fabulous and our closest friends getting struck down by it. I am not going to go to a place that will be crowded by sickies!! So, I have had a lovely few days alone. It is good for the soul to have some time alone and apart I think. Especially considering we live and work together, so are pretty well together 95% of the time.

Anyway, I am going to step away from the computer for a few hours. It seems that since agreeing to the exhibition I have not been too far away from here. As I am feeling on top of things this morning, I think I shall shout myself a few hours in front of the telly. Have a great day all!
