My Sister created this Fire Emblem Awakening cosplay last year just before Australia's Pax. since then she has been making tweaks to the ensemble, and i finally had a chance to do a shoot with her in it last weekend.

Our location was Falls Creek (a Mountain in Australia) That was ravaged by fire in 2003. 11 years later and the hills surrounding Falls Creek Village, are lined with white gums, skeletons of the fires. I honestly can't remember what they looked like before that time, as it is now so ingrained in my memory. ( I will note i was 8 years old at the time though) While a sad and frightening event the scars make for a beautiful site, and are just a dream to work with for photography. Especially a character from a war game. I hope you enjoy the results of the shoot, as i did taking them.

The Character is called Robin.

This shoot was wicked fun, and i hijacked Ryuu's laptop because mine doesn't have photoshop. believe me, they may look vibrant but there pretty damn close to what my eyes see.

SUSS Snow day 2014 part 1

April 15 2014,
The SUSS (Swinburne University Snow Squad) Snow day, sponsored by Red Bull, while I'd joined up to the club during O week because i love to ski :D I hadn't realised this was happening, so when i turned up at 9:30 for my Microeconomics tute, I got a awesome surprise.
10 tons of snow, a bungee cod, and a rail. If I was a jumper or trickster, and my ski's were there i would have been on that thing asap. But I'm downhill so even if i had them probs not.
 
Either way the people having a go had awesome fun! Nice tricks and some stacks.
Hope you enjoy the shots :D

Hot Air Baloons

I have twice now had the pleasure of opening my window at some ungodly hour of the morning for work or uni, to find a group of hot air balloons floating across the skyline. The first time gave me a shot as i saw them when reviewing a video from my time-lapse camera. :D
Don't they look pretty? :P

St Patricks day at The George

If you were on campus at hawthorn Swinburne on Monday, you probably saw the green fun of St Patricks Day. Green punch, Irish beer, The pancakes and Donuts were green too, and while not everyone dressed up all in green, people got into the mood quickly.
There was some wicked face painting being done as well, For the gents top hats, and the lads Shamrocks, while the line moved, i don't think i saw it shorten.

uni grounds

When i first saw the grounds i thought they were fairly utilatrian, now from thisangle i'm not so sure, either way i like it.





My Unilodge also had a welcome party for residents party pies, hot dogs, soft serve ice cream, a dj :D and party bags with big stuffed teddy bears in tshirts :D
 
This photo was fairly early on, there were loads of people, though it was hot in the sun so stayed undercover a bit more.
