Happy Valentines Day

“I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you.”

Rumi - Thirteenth Century Sufi Poet

2009 - What a year!

2009 was certainly an amazing year.

Upon reflection, a handful highlights stood out for me.

• Being at the birth of our second son, Benjamin, born in August. An amazing experience. Anne - you are a champion!

• Seeing our first son, Oliver growing up and turning 3 in March. He is too cool!

• Responding in my own way to Black Saturday Bush Fires by filming a documentary "The Phoenix Appeal" The story of indipendent musicians putting on 10 gigs in one day to raise $42,000 for the Red Cross. (Thanks to Loz Bowie for the image below).

As I only normally post wedding clips on this blog, I thought I would introduce this side project with the a promo clip from "The Phoenix Appeal" featuring Jeff Lang.

• Moving studios in June from Ivanhoe to the heart of cosmopolitan Fitzroy. Yes, loads of space, a private cinema, rooftop spa, full kitchen, Brunswick St and Johnston St just around the corner - what more could I ask for!

• Turning 40 in June (Shhh, don't tell anyone!) I was only one more year older....

                                        

• Being active on the Australian Video Producers Association National Committee. www.avpa.com.au

• Being a part of the international community of inspirational event film makers via wedfact (now eventfilmmaker.com)

• An of course, last but not least, meeting so many amazing Melbourne couples who are engaged and then being part of their wedding day - thank you for trusting me and thank you for sharing!
