Second day of Judging for the New Zealand Nationals and we are in Rotorua. Orange County Photog Jen Conover and I did the GIRLS ROAD TRIP YEHAH down the central north island to Rotorua. More commonly known to the locals as ROTO-VEGAS. I judged all day and had my folio judged. I am the proud recipient of 4 GOLDS and one of them was a distinction. I am extremely proud of this folio and I won’t lie. I gave everything I had to create this folio. I took 2 weeks off my business, story boarded and created every image and then illustrated each image culminating in over 80 hours of work.
In Australia I won 3 Golds and 1 silver distinction and I knew one of my images was not up to the standard of the other 3 so I changed it before I re entered the folio in NZ. SO I thought I would share it with you. AND the other images you have already seen in earlier posts. This is ‘FAIRYTALE’ by me. Its represents a duality (growing up a gemini) my fascination with twins and the wonderful make believe world I created growing up. The twins (2 of the most beautiful girls you’ve ever seen) in this image are darling friends of mine whom I simply adore who loved doing the whole shoot, getting hair and makeup and playing dress up. What fun we had. Many thanks to the twins and Legend Simona Janek & Leda for Hair and Makeup.
This image scored 93 GOLD today.

Sue, thank you so much for your amazing talk at NZIPP…I took so very much from it. Perhaps even things you may not have even intended, thank you, thank you, Kate.
I loved this image!!! I loved how my eyes roamed around taking in all the details and then suddenly noticing that their hands are clasped. It is awesome and incredible. Congrats Sue! {PS Come to Perth!}
