The most rewarding things you do in life are often the ones that look like they cannot be done. - Arnold Palmer

Sometimes I look back then and wonder how did I manage to do certain things.  It is like it wasn't me or like I was under the steam of a hidden power or force perhaps.  It felt good to think that I had managed to pull all of this together while under extreme pressure.

Enjoyable profession
 This band photographer is a statement to me to look to the future.  I was impressed with her as she stood there so solemn waiting for that perfect shot.  The equipment looked cumbersome but important.  I often thought I would love to take band photographs as well. 

I love photography and I love music and I love festivals and going to bands and live music in general.  I always have loved the live music.  The Narara Festival at Somersby.   Yes, bring back the Narrara Festival of  1983 with bands like Michael Hutchence, the lead singer of the Australian band INXS, along with INXS, Men at Work,  Cold Chisel, The Angels, The Choirboys, Uncanny X-Men, The Church, Australian Crawl and  Margaret Roadknight and Austentayshus as the MC for the festival.

They were the days of madness and festivals.  The rules were yet to be made for large events of this caliber in this country.  Narara was billed as another Woodstock.
