Good Friday

So today was good friday, lucky me I got to spend my day in the most interesting and fun of ways. As many would know I have started my own photography business here in Australia with a view to building it and getting some work as a writer for publications. This weekend has been one of those opportunities, I am working with a small magazine called Appendix J magazine, it is a small club level magazine for people who race in a certain division of car racing in New South Wales. So this weekend I am writing race reports on the events these cars have throughout the weekend, while being there I also get to see all the other divisions as well, take photos and try and sell some.
The first day today was great, making contacts, seeing racing, taking notes and writing up the story at the end. It was all a new experience and one I enjoyed thoroughly. As with every day you learn some new things or make some mistakes that you need to learn from, like today I forgot my hat and suncream, so I am a little burnt. With two days racing to go this is not a good place to be in, I also forgot my advertising material, so I couldn't give them out to people who I started talking to during the day.
BUT, after a few hours out in the sun, watching some excellent racing, I have a couple of SD cards full of photos and enough notes to begin writing my article for the magazine. Fingers crossed that I do this well, cause this could lead to something..
Below are some of my favourite photos of the Group N guys racing today at Eastern Creek:

1972 LJ Torana

1964 Ford Mustang

Tomorrow will be a new day, I hope action packed. Because then it gives me even more to work with.
