Frozen – from the inside…

An attempt at a self-portrait.

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.

    1. 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.

  2. 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.

    1. 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.

  3. 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!

  6. 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.

  8. 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.

    1. 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. 🙂
