22. Photo Gallery

I received a gift the other day! A CD of Kat Baulus photos. Kat has one of those very snazzy SLR digital cameras, which she pulls out at every opportunity and snaps us doing what ever it is we're doing. The nice thing about her shots is that they are rarely posed, and she has captured many a great moment.

The following shots are a tribute to our camera teacher Paul Donavan, whose classes were always interesting and fun, and I certainly learnt a hell of a lot...so thanks Paul.

Bored? No, just dreaming of aerial footage!

Paul reminds us not to slam the doors!

Qualified in 'Filming Safety in a Chopper'. Shame we never made off the ground.
