Blow me down - It's pirates!!!

It was all hands hoay on Saturday for a pirate photo shoot with the always lovely Helen McLean. James Price also came along to hold a reflector for me.

I’m a bit nutty when it comes to pirates. I still remember very affectionately going to a school dress up day in grade four in pirate costume. There is something about a bunch of people who sail around and steal gold from other people sailing around that I find interesting. Of course real pirates do a lot worse.

Anyways, I’ve been wanting to do a pirate shoot for ages. The thing is, now that I’ve done one, I’m thinking of all the other pirate things I haven’t done yet. So if anyone in Melbourne wants to play dress ups with me drop me a line

    I love the attack shot! Looks so fun, and the images are just gorgeous.

    I am always able to play dress ups in Melbourne for any theme :P

    Well done Jo

    As the pastafarians advocate, the world desperately needs more pirates. Their research clearly shows the correlation between the dwindling number of pirates and increases in global temperatures.

    All of us should follow your lead. In fact, every day should be International Talk Like a Pirate Day

    If the Wiggles ever need a new pirate, maybe Helen should put up her hand – anti discrimination and equal opp and all that!!!
