Hi All,

Carl organised a little meet up in the city today for the melbourne zombie shuffle.
There we caught up with Carl and his sister, Voe, Inghard, Brian and Derek.
Unfortunately I didnt stay long, the wife wasnt feeling well but i got a couple of shots away.

Cheers Neil

I think i've been to this doctor


and something for the kids


Lastly, a lovely wedded couple

Arrrghh my internet connection speed has been butchered by those higher up. Won't be up & running at full speed for another week. Viewing images online is like watching paint dry, but worse.

I had a great day. I will thank Voe for being the only member who arrived at the meeting place.

I have to say I was quite happy with my new Tammy 17-50/2.8 today and came home with a little over 950 images. I called it quits @ Flinders Street Station. Nice to finally meet you Bryan

a group of people decided to dress up as zombies as a tribute to George Romero movies.. and the shuffle was born..

i think the shuffle actually originated in the US, and us aussies just adopted it. i know the zombie shuffle is not limited to melbourne, it's also done in sydney and adelaide.

i'm sure they have zombie shuffles/walks in new england! i've seen zombies and witches at Salem, MA
