Jemma's hair - last day of school

Last day of school (gr4) for Jemma in 2014.  Free dress day.  Jemma had fun with her hair.  We tried to get a front on shot with Jemma & Lucy but this was the best we could do.

BGRC AGM

My rowing club - Grammarains  had their AGM.  We started outside but it started to rain.  Beer, wine & cheese was on offer.

Angus is the treasurer and he did a very clear and well presented financial statement.  His handouts were very clear and easy to read.

I got an award.  For going grey trying to keep my crew on the water.

Brad got the -ve award which I thought was unfair. He is very personable and tries really hard to make things happen. I suspect he took it quite hard.

A Sign Of The Times

Sign of our over-managed times. Storm drops a few branches. Parks closed off. There are more parks with closed signs. I guess too hard to walk around a fallen branch or simply not walking into the root system of a fallen tree.

Amazing the amount of creativity.
It just keeps coming.

Resilience - when he was a kid a teacher pinned one of his drawings on his back. Was supposed to be a punishment but for him an inspiration.

No resources and no reputation. Made add with low cost raw material.

Confidence  - it's great to be at an exhibition where we can take and share photos.

Very fine detail.
Symbolism mix and match
Mix religious imagery with sex.
Mix up traditional dress from various cultural backgroungs.

Megan and I took the guided tour included with our entry ticket.  The guide was an older woman and she was great. She had knowledge of sewing and an infectious enthusiasm for fashion.
