Book Launch - The Hilton Hotel supporting Vinnies

Book Launch - The Hilton Hotel supporting Vinnies NSW and the homeless.

It was an incredible honour to be included in this years 2024

✨ The Classic Lifestyle Book – The Hope Edition ✨

Hope Edition takes on even greater significance — with all proceeds from this year’s book going directly to support those in need.
The evening was nothing short of spectacular, with delicious food, speeches, auctions, and live entertainment Bec Caruana, Johnny Masters, Mark Gable, Tania Doko and many more. But above all, it was a night dedicated to giving back. The event’s proceeds going to supporting Vinnie’s and their vital work with the homeless.
Homelessness can affect anyone, and often it only takes one unexpected twist of fate for everything to change. This reminds us that we all have a role to play in offering hope and support to those who need it most. 🦋 Big thank you to Phil Harte

Always Look Behind You! 🦋 On one of my adventu

Always Look Behind You! 🦋

On one of my adventures a while back, it was filled with my usual suspects of: getting lost, ninja dancing, losing or breaking something. And you have to remember that this is all happening before daylight... 🫣

First, there is the familiar “Getting Lost” scenario. I should know these streets like the back of my hand, and I do actually look at the maps before I leave home, scouting the area 🤔, but seriously, it happens every time... I either make a wrong turn or get totally lost! Hate Siri, btw!!

Next is I’m always walking into real or imaginary spiderwebs along the dark paths n trails, which leads to my usual crazy Ninja “Dancing in the Dark” routine—something I’ve now become an expert at.
It keeps the other crazies away, I guess.
Then the climb down a little metal ladder in the dark to reach my location. After not being there for so long, I wondered... was it always this steep, long, and terrifying?
And finally the joy of reaching your destination intact …. Check √

The finale happened later when I looked at the screen on the back of my camera to review the shot.
I slowly turned.
Time to go, I thought!!!
Just when I was climbing up the tiny metal ladder on the side of the rock face, a sudden downpour of rain hit!
Not just a little; it was coming down cats and dogs...
Now I’m drenched, hanging on for dear life, slowly trying to make my way back up this now slippery metal ladder, with camera gear and a tripod on my back, looking like a drowned rat... I’m thinking, I can do this...

The drama makes my mornings just that little bit more fun!!!!!!
Anyway here is the shot 🫶

Earlier That Morning ..... 🦋
.
What might seem boring and repetitive to you, me always taking photos in the same location….. Well, it feels safe and familiar to me!

So many times, I tend to lose my way due to constant changes, roadworks, weather or something ….
.
So here I am, it’s dark, losing light, and not knowing where the hell I’m going. 🙄🫣

Last Thursday night at The Lansdowne Hotel, Aleksi

Last Thursday night at The Lansdowne Hotel, Aleksiah absolutely owned the stage, lighting up the room with her powerful voice and magnetic energy. 🎶

The Adelaide-based singer-songwriter had the crowd hooked from the moment she stepped onstage, delivering a mix of pop melodies and deeply personal lyrics about love, struggle, and growth, effortlessly drawing the crowd in with her raw, relatable storytelling.
Aleksiah proved she’s an artist who knows exactly how to captivate a crowd.

Definitely an artist to keep an eye on!
