For months Tanja and I have been playing email tennis with one another. So it was somewhat fulfilling when we finally met up at a cafe in Olympic Park during her lunch break. We chatted. Laughed. And all was well! A couple of months later we met up again, at Pokolbin, this time with Mr Tom by her side. Tanja warned me that he is not a big fan of getting his photograph taken. I wasn't worried. They have been together for years and I knew that he would ease up next to his Tanja & he did! He is quiet, reserved and there is an air of masculinity that surrounds him. By the way Tanja would hold his hand, lean by his side, run along with him, you can tell she feels safe beside him. During the shoot I saw slithers of the boy and girl within them jump out from their faces. Moments where years of being together were compounded to seconds of rekindled child like love, were their eyes sparkled and their hearts were a flutter; where boy meets girl for the first time.

Thank you for allowing me a glimpse of that!
