Oh wow, where is this year going?? Half way through March already and this is only my first blog post for the year. Such neglect of my website. I will have to try and rectify that over coming months. I’ve a few ideas for topics rolling around in my head but getting them out is another issue. But for now I’d just like to talk about my results at the Wagin Woolorama Photography Competition last weekend and to give this Agricultural Show a plug as it is a really enjoyable day out.
Photo Comp
Firstly I’d like to thank the organisers of the Photography Competition that runs as part of Wagin Woolorama. Glenys and her team do a great job every year putting together this competition.
1st Place ‘A Half of Anything’ – Repeating Doorways
This year, they introduced two new special categories, each with great prize money for the winner. I was fortunate enough to take out the Portrait category with this image of the Namibian man starting a fire the tradition way, which most of you have possibly seen before. If you’d like to see the winning landscape image by my friend Richard Hall please click here.

Evening Rodeo
After the day events have finished, like the shearing, sheep dog trials and judging of the animals, there’s the evening rodeo. I love to watch the action and also the fashions. The checked shirts, bright colours, fancy jeans and those hand made leather saddles. Love it!
