montage monday: glenelg

For Monday Montage this week I figured I would use up some more of the shots from my Pre-Birthday Birthday Adventures last week... Pretty much all of these were taken down at Glenelg, which is the first place what white settlers landed when they arrived in South Australia (hence the monument in the bottom right hand corner)... and as a side note, this is the only state in the country that was founded by free settlers rather than convict labour (take that Rest of Australia)... and that might mean something if I could actually trace my heritage back on my father's side at all (since Ma came out from England in her 20's, so I know where her side of the tree comes from)...

I forgot to mention on Saturday that while I was doing the voting thing, I'm pretty sure that the Indian guy who was the Polling Officer (ie met people at the door and sent them across to get their names checked off) was someone I used to work with a million years ago back at Department of Human Services... I half recognised him, and I think he half recognised me... but neither of us said anything, me mostly because I couldn't remember his damn name... starts with an S though. And then as I was leaving and heading home again I walked past a guy who was the spitting image of the guy that took over my job at DHS when I left... I don't know that it WAS him, but it looked a lot like him. Very strange...

I had a Coffee Meeting on Friday with two guys interested in my photography... they were on holiday in Adelaide for a few days and one of them was possibly interested in modeling (although, having met him he probably wouldn't be on my top ten list), and the pair of them are looking to start up a travel website for gay men, so they were interested in my photographs from the other end of the spectrum too... Not completely sure how I feel about the meeting, it was nice and all, and if I could actually get some paying photographic work out of it, then that's always good... I don't want to close myself off to the possible opportunity though, since I was only commenting to J the other day (and I'm sure I've said it here too) that I know there is something coming workwise, I just have to get in it's way when it does. Somehow I kind of doubt that this is it... but just in case...

Hopefully, all things being well, I have a shoot scheduled for next Sunday anyway with a guy I've been discussing doing a shoot with for nearly two years now... so it will almost be a relief if it actually, finally, happens.
