"Wiggle" boom - 4th June 2005 - 'Dreamworld' Gold Coast, QLD

Jeff? from the Wiggles (I should really do my research on kids entertainers) holds a Koala for a "save the koala habitat" public service announcement 

Interesting tid-bit #1 = the location was a small island in the middle of the themepark next to a massive ride that sounded like a jet taking off (every 5 mins) 

tid-bit #2 = the koala made a break for one of the trees and there was a massive scramble to grab him - we were told that if he'd made it up one of the trees it'd take weeks of coaxing to get him back down...

Friday 29th September 2017 - The infamous 'doobie-baby'.

What started out as a headless doll (best not to ask, it's the magic of film-making...) gained a lighter, a ciggy, and a finger-puppet head; to create the freakiest mini-mascot that people had ever seen. 

I can't take any of the credit, but it was quite photogenic :)

'round the corner...  Friday 29th September 2017 - Dartmouth, NS

captured with an iphone 5S, f2.2, for 1/165the sec, ISO 32 - by a friendly Grip that was spotting me on the ladder

Camera was inside the building, and were seeing the reflection of the ladder when the door opened... so I was wrapped into the top few steps and had to twist and reach for the take...

P.S. it sounded awesome!
