Our ambitious plan to update our home page themes monthly has been thwarted by a very busy work schedule. For this reason we've decided to showcase bi-monthly themes. The new April / May theme, celebrates "life in motion" featuring an Alaskan Brown Bear, an Alaskan sled dog race, a skateboarder and skiier. All images are courtesy of Chris McLennan, our guest photographer for this month (also featured in our December "One World" theme).  These images remind us that we are constantly experiencing life in motion every moment of the day, as active participants and keen observers of the world around us.

January flew by with no time to put together our January Home Page Theme. Fortunately we're more prepared this month, and our February Theme is appropriately called  "Just a moment" with images courtesy of  Sydney photographer Carsten Burmeister. We love these images because it feels like we are privy to those special everyday moments that are natural and unrehearsed. The person walking in the rain with an umbrella at Sydney's Circular Quay and the seagull alighting on the sand near the water's edge. The waiter clearing tables in front of Sydney's harbour bridge, and the woman sitting on the ferry dock facing the city of Sydney.  How many times have we experienced moments where we've wished we had a camera, or had the creative skills to do it justice? February's theme is a tribute to those encounters where we are in awe of that single moment. We invite you to take a little time out of your day to enjoy - "Just a moment."

December has arrived. A celebratory month for many of us. It is a time to reflect on the past 11 months, appreciating what we do have and looking forward to the new year ahead. For our December theme 'One World' we wanted to celebrate life on this planet by featuring some of the people who live in our amazing world. Our guest photographer Chris McLennan has travelled around the globe on numerous photographic assignments. Chris has visited both famous and out of the way places, and met people from all different walks of life. His stunning images fit in beautifully with our home page theme and we are very excited to be able to showcase some of his work this month featuring the wonderful people he has met.

Specialist travel photographer Chris McLennan was born and raised in the South Island of New Zealand and now spends his time travelling the globe on photographic assignments.
