Easter from the lounge lizard
What a great weekend! I have done almost nothing at all! I did a family photo shoot for Robyn, Carol (written about previously on the blog) and their families on Friday evening, and a family photo shoot for another family on Saturday morning. Apart from that I have watched several movies and just became a lounge lizard for the past few days. I loved every minute of it. I think my body was telling me I needed some R&R. I feel great today. I have another full and exciting week this week. I was able to finish two weddings worth of pictures this morning, which I am about to go and deliver. Plus, I was able to complete a family picture of the Christening of a client called the Scarano family. I am going to show the picture I did for them below. One of the weddings I did was for Rohan & Jaclyn Baker who got married in Byron Bay at the beautiful Byron at Byron. A stunning place set in the midst of a rainforest and is in my humble opinion worth every cent of the $2,500 for a three night stay!! Just gorgeous. I cannot believe there is no footage of it on You Tube. If not I will add my video footage taken soon and upload it here and to you tube.
Plus a review of some of the movies I viewed.
The Brave One
A film starring Jodie foster. A great film. It caused me to look inwardly and recognise things a little more deeply. Feelings and emotions that exist and can sometimes cause you to overlook the sensitivities of others, and blind you to the things we feel within. I don't mean to sound cryptic, it was a great film. Whilst I love to see the bad guys "cop it" in the end, it still causes me much reflection about the nature of revenge and whether it is ever "right", or excusable. It was a good film on different levels for me. I will be thinking on this for some time.

An interesting film. I am not a fan of evil in any form. I am however aware of it's existence and found the film an interesting expose into the evolution of carelessness, hatred and bitterness that developed into chaos and heartache. I relaise that whilst the film is not what I would recommend as a mainstream go getter, we have seen recently from around the world a couple of cases where children have been abused and have grown into people they would not wish to be, had the catalyst been different. I once spoke with a psychiatrist, not professionally, but over a conversation and he described the difference to me of mental conditions and scenarios the mind can create. It was very interesting. There is so much I don't know. Not a film for everyone.

A movie starring Tom Selleck, Felicity Huffman, William H. Macy. This looked and felt like a made for TV movie. I guess the absence of a trailer on the net would seem to confirm that. It was not a big budget film in my opinion. That said, I found it to be a simple film that slowly got me in. Mind you I was watching it from 6am until about 8.30am and therefore what else was on over easter worth watching at the time on the am clock! It was a story about truth, hope, love and even despair. I wonder how many people serve time in prison for things that they honestly didn't do? Of course, all of them!!!

Rescue Dawn
A film starring Christian Bale. Not a spectacular film, but because it was based in truth, that alone made it interesting. I liked it. Not much to say apart from the indomitable human spirit within each of us to survive. Worth a watch.

I haven't said much about the Easter season and the feelings I have from a Christian stand point that I have. Primarily I haven't added this because my blog is not a platform for intensely personal, political, or religious feeling. Though, as the blog IS a reflection of my thoughts and feelings on different topics, a cursory note would be appropriate to suggest my gratitude for Jesus who in an incomprehensible way to me, bore my infirmities and imperfections. Easter is the time when I reflect about what that sacrifice means to me. That's all. No I didn't eat lots of Easter Eggs. I ate some pieces, but not much. I did however indulge a little into Homer Hudson's strawberry and Chocolate ice cream. YUMMO!!!!

One 'stand out' Jodie Foster movie for me is "Nell." She accomplished a wonderful portrayal of the main character in that movie - incredibly absorbing in my view.
