Farewell and Flowers

One of my colleagues is leaving the state and returning to Western Australia where she originally hailed from. She wanted to have a few pictures made for her boyfriend before she leaves on Friday. So, late yesterday, I shot off a few frames and captured what I think are some lovely images of her. She is a great person and I am glad to have worked with her.






I have also been very busy with the floral art association of NSW covering a major event for them, and I also received the limited edition, expensive and exclusive catalogue for International Floral Art 08/09 printed and posted from Switzerland. I have two images contained therein which were selected from thousands of submissions. That is a big thing for the floral artists, but also a big thing for me. My name is published in there and also spelled correctly! It is a thrill to be a small part of this. I have been asked to photograph another submission in December. I love this new avenue that has opened up to me. I am including one of the pictures that was chosen and also the cover of the book. I have saved the other picture on one of my hard drives, I just have to find it! then I will include it here! The arrangement of floral art you see pictured that I shot was created by Gwen Hartley, and the page open showing the image on the left hand side was created by the Internationally renowned Floral artist and former scientist Gail Anderson. Hers is the image I have to find. The world of floral art has really turned my perception of floristry on it's head. I love the elements and variety. It is also a great thing to be a part of such an auspicious entity.

Floral art sounds very interesting. I love the cover of the book and your photo. It would be fun to sit and look at all the creative photos in the book. Congrats to you!!!!

Had to laugh about having your name spelled corectly! lol!! My maiden name and my current name have NEVER been spelled correctly. I had an 8 year stint as a "Miller." That was refreshing for a short while. :)

Tammy, it is amazing to look at all the images in the book. I think how on earth did they think of that? but marvel at the detail and quality of their work.

As for the name, too funny! Thanks for commenting.
