I was born in the land of Banjo Paterson, gum trees, and weather extremes.
I am a freelance photographer. I love to make images that make people happy. To capture forever a precious moment.
I am also a freelance writer/editor.
I live in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, but still like to claim my Australian heritage.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Communications in 2008.
I am writing my first novel.
I love to write poetry, short stories, and also write for the web.
And there is nothing that is on a par with a sunny summer's day spent at Waihi Beach.

Beautiful photo, it does’t look real, looks like a painting. Stunning backdrop. Love the contrast. Beautiful Jo.

Oh it was real all right – I was freezing, as I left my jacket in the car because I wanted the pink jumper in the photo. it was my first experience at a white winter – where better than to do that than Holland.

You look like you are freezing. You need a jacket but the scene is really pretty and white There is nice contrast and subdued lighting that makes the white the star of that photo. It’s a really good pic for the white photo challenge. Good luck. I’m going to check out the site.

I feel like a duck out of water – there are so many amazing photographers and photos – but hey, you have to start somewhere. And I didn’t find any others like this photo. I just want to try to get better at taking and editing photos, and I thought this type of thing might help.

Woah – that’s a lot of snow! I’m glad you sacrificed your comfort to get the pink sweater in the pic. 🙂 And I love the windmill in the background – makes it so quintessentially “Holland” instead of some generic snow scene. Great job!

That really does look like it came straight out of a painting. And you look great there! I hope you got to buid a snowman? That’s a very important part of the snow experience ya know.

This is a wonderful pic – everything looks so still and cold. I love the rusty orange colour of whatever it is that’s growing alongside the water (bullrushes? Long grass?). I don’t think you should feel like a duck out of water in relation to your photography – anything but.

I think they are a type of grass. Thank you for the comment about my photography – but wow, when I see some of the others – hmmmmmmm…amazing. I’m just a beginner/amateur. But that’s okay. Less of a rep to live up to. 🙂
