He’s never been a good subject for portraiture – a more proficient photographer might help.
Woody says “pink bird” with a US accent.

Well, Australian Geographic has been taken over by Australia’s largest publisher of magazines and my job is now uncertain. Looks as though I’ll have to actively chase a bit more freelance work to replace it.
It has, though, given me the necessary boot up the bum to kick off on my autobiography,
Wollemi nobilis
Thursday, 23 November 2006
I was given a Wollemi pine for my extiexth birthday, a great gift because I once lived in the general area where it was “discovered”. It’s a revelation to watch it grow as it doesn’t seem to follow the rules of these modern whippersnapper trees that’ve only been around for 50 million years or so.

Things have been pretty hectic on the home office front. I’ve not long finished the design and typesetting of a full-colour business directory covering the local Shire – county if you live in the US – and have been approached by the Chamber of Commerce in a neighbouring town to do one for them.

My Surname: I’ve been asked about the origins of my family name for as long as I can remember. Well, it’s Welsh, folks. It’s a semi-anglicised spelling of ApHwfa – a descendant of Hwfa. Ap is the Welsh “Mac” and the anglicised spelling of Hwfa, used widely in the US, is Hoover.
