Some of the photographs from my recent trip to China are beginning to trickle through the 
processing & reach the site. There’s just under 5,000 photographs to get through, though some of those are my holiday shots so will end up printed for my albums & wont be going into the gallery.
First to go up are the photographs from the Mu Tian Ya section of the Great Wall of China. Mu Tian Ya is about a 2.5 hour drive from Beijing, though that’s certainly dependent on the time of day & amount of traffic. Peak Hour in Beijing is second to none.
It was beautiful up there; sunny & hot, roughly a 34 degree day (that’s 93.2 fahrenheit for those of you not using the metric system) but the shade inside the guard towers was at least 10 degrees less, the ancient stones keeping the cool. The smog/haze wasn’t the greatest, but certainly wasn’t as bad as Beijing was 6 days later. The Chinese characters painted on the mountain [apparently] read “Honest Mu Tian Ya” – while I can speak a little Mandarin, I cannot (yet) read it.
Mu Tian Ya has been open to the public for 12 years. It’s not overly touristed, like Ba Da Ling is, but it’s definitely getting there. Read the rest of this entry »
While I was in Cambodia, November to December 2007, I spent some time at the 
village of Chong Khneas on the Tonlé Sap lake. I’ve finally finished putting together the book about the village & its life.
The book, Life on the Lake, is 10″x8″ (25cm x 20cm) which is not quite A4 in size, landscape in orientation & hardcover. There is no dust jacket, the cover itself is directly printed onto the hardcover with a durable matte finish. There are 60 pages & around 63 photos (though I can’t say I’ve counted the exact number of photographs).
For a preview of some of the pages & the cost to purchase, click to read the rest of this entry.

Zig Zag Community Arts are at it again.
Seeing a gap in the Bush Dance market – the last one at Whiteman Park was in 2006 – they’ve gone out on a limb & brought them back. With the great excuse of raising funds for the Madjitil Moorna Halls Creek Project, they brought Stirk Park, Kalamunda, to life yet again; this time with a range of musical sounds from performers NumGuts, Black Chook Chutney & Madjitil Moorna.
Dances were demonstrated by Jenny, flautist of NumGuts, & called by Tony & Kevin, & the crowd picked them up quickly. Audiance participation wasn’t limited by age or height or job – even the videographer, Matt Dekoning, got in on some of the dances!
Photographs from the evening are available to view within the main gallery.
Keep an eye out & an ear to the ground – it’s not long before the annual Zig Zag Formal Ball, Bella Noche, 23rd May 2009!
Photos of Perth metal band, Dethlahem, performing live at the Castle on 28th February 2009 have been uploaded to the gallery.

I have a shoot happening from 5pm until [roughly] 8:30pm on Tuesday evening, 10th February; modelling shoes & outfits.
Evening Stars
Erin will be doing make up, however you will need to bring your own (& come with your foundation already applied if you can).
The shoot will be happening outdoors, so it would be a good idea to wear something beneath your outfits such as bathers that you don’t mind being seen. I will be bringing a large sheet to hold around you during changes, though the under outfits are a great precaution & addition to this.
The location will be advised on RSVP. I’d like to keep this as participants only.
I can be contacted on draganin@dragancaor.net
This is a ladies only shoot.
