Cramped in



And I'm only a little fella, i'm feeling so cramped in here and it is hard for me to get my head around how people larger, bigger and taller than me do it

With a view out to a rain soaked sydney airport tarmac, bring on summer

Sydney Qantas Lounge

Sitting in the Qantas lounge, catching up on some work and doing a bit of Vuzi-ing and now told flight is delayed for 2 hours ( technical issues, more like this engineers strike is going on too long and the Qantas directors ought to come to the negotiating table and stop inconveniencing their customers as opposed to acting too arrogant to talk to the engineers ) Anyway, that means no sunset pictures on this flight to Bangkok and onto London, hang on Bangkok, oh cool , I might be able to get more than just my foot massage I get at Singapore airport

When you go surfing, and you jump in the car with yer mate to go surfing, chances are that one of you always comes in from the surf before yer mate, so you get the case of one out in the water, having a good surf, and the other perhaps not carving it that day or too cold or tired, waiting in the car park for mate to come in

Lorna loves the attention she gets when she’s in fishnets.
This image is part of a triptych that is currently showing 
in an photographic exhibition by Richard Vevers.
The exhibition is part of the Ultimo Science Festival and
runs until 31 August at the Muse Gallery,
TAFE Ultimo College, Mary Ann Street, Ultimo, Sydney.
The exhibition highlights the research work supported by the
Sydney Aquarium Conservation Fund such as the monitoring
of Lorna and the other seahorses on the Manly nets.
