We had a great win over the top team on Saturday. Playing at home, we had a great crowd to cheer us on. Ellery my brother had an awesome game taking some spectacular marks in the forward line. I played in 4 different positions in all 3 lines. After having problems with shin splints all year, I didn’t have too much problem with mobility on Saturday.
We are playing at home under lights on friday night at 7:00pm against Yeronga, it will be another tough tussle as they have just come off beating The Magpies. Come check out some great local footy at Griffith University, Nathan Campus under state of the art lighting. The ground is located on Kessels road at Nathan just near QEII stadium.
Finally the biggest pinata party ever held in Brisbane is happening!
Ok it’s that time of year again, and my age increases 1 year but my spirit decreases 10.

A Happy Mother’s day dinner at E’cco bistro in Brisbane
As I had a wedding to film on Sunday, I didn’t get a chance to catch up with Mum for Mother’s Day. Instead, I took Mum and my youngest sister Amanda (who is a mum-to-be), to E’cco bistro for dinner.
It was an amazing menu they had there, definately one of the best restaurants I’ve been to, if not the best.
For entree’s, Mum and I had soup and we all shared…
Sautéed prawns, celeriac panna cotta, crisp prosciutto, shimeji mushrooms & hazelnuts.
and
soy-braised wagyu beef cheek, thai herbs, crispy shallots & garlic.
Then for our mains we had:
Amanda:
1824 grain-fed sirloin, pomme wellington, sauce soubise& wilted spinach.
Mum:
Margaret river lamb loin, roast jerusalem artichokes, baby carrots & garlic cream.
Me:
Grilled white fish, potato écrasée, watercress, fried white bait, preserved lemon & sauce gribiche.
We didn’t have room for dessert, but next time we know to not get carried away with too many entree’s.
The plates were all presented beautifully and the service and atmosphere is great. I highly recommend E’cco for anyone looking for the highest quality food and service in Brisbane City.
Prices: The entree’s were $21.95 and the Mains were $36.95 – definately worth it if you appreciate fine dining.
Happy Mother’s Day Mum! and you too panda!
An Ethical Fashion Showcase – Jorge, Brisbane
Last night I was invited to shoot at the Ethical Fashion Showcase at Jorge in Brisbane.
This event was a showcase of some of the hot Australian fashion designers such as Maiocchi, Romance was born, Limedrop, Poke, Mother Mania, Two Beat Tremble, One Colour and more. Demonstrating that making ethical decisions in fashion doesn’t mean you can’t create amazing designs. Organised to provoke the thoughts of consumers, designers and manufacturers alike the idea that using humane methods of production and environmentally responsible products can be quite innovative and stylish.
With Channel 9′s Melissa Downes presenting, this was an event organised by the Queensland Fair Trade Collective as part of the Fair Trade Association of Australia and New Zealand.
Once again I got to shoot the beautiful Diana (Dee-anna) Rodriguez, whom i’ve worked with quite a few times now. Diana is part of the Viviens Models agency.
How I actually found out this event was from meeting another beautiful girl in Tarquin whom I met at the Southbank markets after she tried to sell me a headband. She sent me the invite and after getting the ok to shoot from Kelly from the Queensland Fair Trade Collective, I was on my way. So once again proving that networking opportunities are everywhere!
I had a quick look at some other designers who are working both ethically and concious of the environment I found this post about Nudie organic denim jeans on the kitmeout.com fashion blog. Check it out, there are some interesting posts and articles on there.

Check out the photos for the Ethical Fashion Showcase
About these photos, I was using my external flash as it was quite dark. Most shots were taken at ISO800 at 1/200sec and f5.6 However that first 5 or so shots taken were taken at f2.5 but my flash position (bounced off the roof) caused unwanted shadow which is why I changed to bouncing the flash off the wall instead.
2 for 1 Bowmans
Ellery and I will be playing our first club match together tonight for Griffith Gladiators in tonights match up against Yeronga at 7:00pm. Ellery hasn’t played club football for about 3 years so I’m sure he’ll be excited about playing tonight.
Mum will be there I’m sure cheering her guts out for us, and it will be great to be out there with Ellery in front of mum.
I pulled up a little bit sore after our battle against Logan City Cobras who demolished us at their home ground.
We had a light training session last night in preparation for the game tonight, so at this stage, my body should be up for the task.
If you are interested in watching us play tonight, it is at 7:00pm under lights at Leyshon Park at Yeronga.
