Cheerfest '09

When there is anything dance, cheer, or tumbling related in the area, Cindy and Karrina want to check it out. Sunday, Cheerfest '09 took place at the Telstra Pacific Events Centre in Manukau City. It is an international cheer competition with teams from New Zealand, Australia, and the U.S. It was fairly small this year with only a handful of teams, but they are expecting it to grow and be a big event in the future. Cindy may be taking some of her own teams to compete next year.

I'm Such A Fungi

I went out looking for something to shoot a couple of weeks ago with nothing in particular in mind. While driving down a small road in the middle of nowhere, I noticed there were a lot of these scattered around under the trees. I drove on to see what else I could find, thinking there should be something a bit more interesting but came up with nothing. As I was driving back, they caught my attention again. The color on some of them was really intense, the bright reds and oranges just jumping off of the dull brown of the old pine needles. I wasn't expecting this, but I had found something to shoot!
