[SYD] 4.9.2011 Sunset {Eastern Suburbs} + Wool painting

Postby surenj on Sat Sep 03, 2011 8:09 pm

Hi all,

Just a heads up about a sunset shoot and steel wool shananighans happening in the Eastern suburbs on the 4.9.2011.

Just reminding that you will need a torch or two to find your way in the dark.

Please PM or SMS for further info.... :wink:

I am glad I didn't get a go in that case.... I was more interested in spinning the damn thing than taking photos!

your turn next round, go with the long pants though, i got a couple of little burns on the legs, nothing too bad and a lot less painful then a weld splatter on your leg (yes, had one of those years ago)
