V8s at Bathurst to running his Daytona in Targa Tasmania

Andrew Miedecke is a famous name in Australian Motor racing circles. From V8s at Bathurst to running his Daytona in Targa Tasmania Andrew has been racing for years. His son George is also a pretty good driver as well!

Anyway Andrew has a large Ford, Mercedes, Chrysler Jeep dealership and I had to shoot him and the truck for Driveline magazine. It was pretty handy that I also had lots of pictures of Andrew from Targa Tasmania as well.

Bit better than a passport booth eh?

No matter where you are every town has lots of real estate agents. It's pretty tough to differentiate most of the so marketing is hugely important. One of the new guys on the block is Peppertree Real Estate and they wanted some staff shots that were a bit different to the normal agent portraits that look like they were taken in a passport booth.



One of the things I specialise in is portraits but in a very relaxed casual style on the beach etc. We were originally going to shoot them in their offices which were nice but I'd recently been in the new Mercure Hotel and noticed the very cool foyer. So off we trekked cameras and wireless speedlites in hand and these are the results. Bit better than a passport booth eh?

You should have seen it on Boxing Day

If you've got a spare $10 milion knocking around and you are looking for an investment I've just shot rather a nice servo on the Pacific Hwy for Savills in Brisbane. It features all the major food groups, McDonalds, KFC and the Koolabah Tree Cafe.

Obviously it always looks good to have the food court full in photos so I asked the manager of the McDonalds "when was the busiest time?" "You should have seen it on Boxing Day" came the reply. Not sure my clients could wait until then.

I've got a plane booked so I will be back to shoot some aerial stuff next week.

another 2 million km's easy!

Hino trucks rang and asked me to drive down to Taree and photograph a truck that had just done 2 million km's and its 2 owners. Make sure you get a close up of the odometer showing the km's they said.

The Bourke brothers have a very busy transport company and a large fleet of trucks. It turned out that they actually had 2 Hino trucks at 2 million km's. But the only problem is that the odometer did not show the km's and had reset back to zero.

So if you are in the market for a small truck the Bourke brothers had just bought some new Hino's to replace the high kilometer ones and they are on the market. According to them they are just run in and will probably do another 2 million km's easy!

I would have had difficulty walking over

It was great to shoot some 2 wheeled action again as the Yamaha Australian Off Road Championship came to Port Macquarie. It was a terrific weekend and I got some great shots. The was lot's of mud early on but with the fabulous weather it soon dried out and the were big clouds of dust in the air.

There was a really tough technical section made up of big concrete pipes, blocks and large rocks that I would have had difficulty walking over let alone riding. Then they raced around part of the motorcross track then off into the bush for a while and then back around again. For 2 hours! The riders even had to refuel the bikes without assistance.

These are some seriously tough and fit guys and girls. Reigning champ Chris Hollis on his Husqvarna was the local favourite but mechanical problems slowed him down. Former world enduro champion Stefan Merriman, part of the Ballard Yamaha team, won the main pro event.

It was also good to get a big shot on the front page of the local newspaper and a couple more on the back page as well.
