I really do love this place.
I am not going to leave it to often over the next month. The mother load of tasks for mission, plus the essays due, plus other bits & pieces, have all arrived.
SMBC, you are my home!
Portraits
January 31, 2007 5:01 PM
I took about 200 portraits today. All pictures for the Student Handbook (which we call the "Dating form guide"). Not the most creative of endeavours, because they all have to be head shots, they all have to be straight on & no one is allowed to pull faces or anything like that.
Still, it was OK fun & it is a good opportunity to get to meet everyone & stuff. I do appreciate how heavy my camera is, though, once I have had to hold it up for 4 hours. I also appreciate how gutsy some of my subjects are, given their dislike of cameras & the inordinately large size of my camera.
Anyway, I think I will keep all of these pics for the form guide & treat you, dear reader, to a couple from Camp. I have a "Whole of Camp" shot & a great (at least I like it, thought I am not sure why so much) diving shot from just after midnight on New Years eve.
OK, time to start cleaning up portraits...
Joy

It is a great thing to be at a happy college.
People want to be here, people enjoy being here and people enjoy the other people who are also here.
International day was a great way of expressing a little bit of that joy, while also working in the appreciation of being part of a diverse & fascinating world!
We have students from all over the shop. China, Egypt, Austria... even Tasmania!
It's great to see some people express their childhood reality through their dress, or maybe some food that they brought along. We also have lots of people wearing stuff that they had bought on mission trips, or things they have in preparatin for trips.
Anyway, I don't really feel like writing too much about it. I just thought I would share one or two shots that captured a little bit of the vibe.
Pity the poor fools who are to our right, Kerridges left, as he does a little impromptu dancing, while Bainy was playing the bagpipes.
Phil "The Guru" Singline shows off the master of all moustakas!
OK, so Owen wasn't dressed internationally, but you have to love a look like this on a lecturer!
Post Script: I have updated my links finally, so there are some new fellas down the bottom!
