Chanel Cruise Brisbane pre show

So flew to Brisbane to work on the chanel Cruise show, which is a private show held at the old governemnt house. won't be publishing any photos on my blog ( contractual obligations ) But just had to sneak in one shot to show the awesome location, righton the river and at the CBD. Staff here are preparing the seating for the show which will be later tonight.

PalmLand

Jacqui has been wanting to take me to Palm Land for a while, we had a kid free morning, so we went up there for breakfast And Jacqui had a Jasmine Flower tea with her breakfast, it does not look like much, untill hot water is added and then it opens up big pond with goldfish next to the cafe area so I stuck my camera in the water to snap a few
and then next to the pond is this awesome Balinese house what a great location perfect for a shoot if you can't go to Bali I mean, if I said I was just in Bali, and showed you these photos, there's no reason to not believe me, and it is just up the road, can't believe I've never been here before. Thanks for bringing me here Jacqui

So close

Had hoped to by now be able to show you some behind the scenes pictures of a shoot I would have done today I even had all these perspex sheet bough and cut to different size for this idea I had, we were ready to shoot last week, but then there was an issue with getting clothes and the model Michael ( stylist ) and I really liked I even made a few fun bits to play with some of the cutting left over. But, sad to say , that a model throwing up all night before the shoot, we;;, you can work it out, postphoned...again damn it

Iekeliene Stange

my reason for coming to New York, shooting with Iekeliene arriving for the fitting by bike The people over at Tribeca Grand were kind enough to let us use the space of Salon bar to do our fitting, as 7 people in the hotel room would have been a bit crammed.
Salon looking great by the way

Dinner Chez Fred & Aglaia

Busy days. Dropped Jacqui off at the airport as she's of to visit friends in Stockholm with the kids while I go to New York, has been a while since I seen Freddy and Aglaia, and had to meet up with Wouter, a mutual friend re the possibility of an exhibition in Paris ( stay tuned ) so Freddy kindly suggested me meet at his place for dinner. ( thanks Freddy, and thanks for the yummy wholesome dinner Aglaia ) erm... a yum !!! Cute little Billy ( or is it Billie ) and my "I'm missing my Jac " pendant.
When she's not around I just pull it out of my pocket, as it is all soft and shiny and smooth to touch :-)
