Elvis is above us

Well this weekend has been a lot quieter than the last. Our MtM shoot for Saturday afternoon was postponed as the model's Friday night shift went longer than planned. So we took advantage of the change of plans and caught up on a few tasks. Today we shot Dana a talented singer for her CD cover. So a slightly different pace just working in studio one. I really enjoyed listening to Dana's music as it was my sort of music. We wish her all the best with being signed with Sony Music.

We were reminded this Thursday of just how devastating last weekends fires where. Madison a young mum who had signed on for the MtM project lived in one of the worse effected area's. While she, her baby, partner and dog all escaped they lost their home and her car. Her E-mail describing the devastation was hard to read but we are thankful that she and her family are all safe. We also heard from Ivana in Healsville who on Friday had been evacuated twice from their home that day.

As I write we have Elvis the fire fighting sky crane doing laps overhead and 5 fire tankers coming up the hill from Belgrave South . Belgrave has been put on alert with the possibility of ember attack. There is a fire burning 2.6Km's in Peters Rd Belgrave. Currently there is 16 appliances in attendance and several other helicopters flying overhead. The 7PM ABC news showed some aerial shots of the outbreak. While the fire is burning north away from us and we feel in no immediate danger you just can't help to think if the devastation from last Saturday.

  1. I am glad you are ok. We are ok too! lol.
    Half our farm has been burnt..very very lucky I have to say yet again as the ashwednesday. The winds turned and didn't get the house another 5 mins and it would be all over. but they are still continuing of course in Harkaway/NareeWarren North but are safe.

    sensitive topic as I know a few people who lost houses and almost lost their lives.

    Thinking of you.
    Take care of yourself Mark and Katie.
