Its been a great year really and an interesting and varied month.  Dance performance, business awards with fire, NGO work, Xmas, birthday and a couple of shoots, a couple of bits and a gender party.

So first up is Pera School of Performing Arts, with their showcase, full details HERE

It was interesting as well as fun.  I knew two of the dancers and went along to support them.

I have been doing a little work for Cyprus Peace and Dialogue Center https://www.cypdc.org/ which I think is important work.  Anything bringing the two sides together is imoortant in my view.  This time it was a business fair with workshops for women on starting up business in Cyprus.  There were some interesting talks too, focusing on border issues with the movement of fresh goods.

After that I had quite a difficulttt gig at a Family Constellations session.  Basically my camera noise was distracting, so did a few portaits during lunch, some of the interesting room, and left them too it.  It was interesting, a sort of group therapy, although not quite that simple.

My Birthday was low key this year, but it meant lots of small celebrations here and there.  A few from my Birthday Lunch with the boys.

More from CPDC, this time a small party for the bi communal language students at Mod Cafe.  Yes there is one of me with my boss, lovely lady and very hospitable.

Xmas was a nice suprise.  I was hanging out when i got a text from Miray, who is normally in Scotland, saying she was downstairs at the cafe waiting for naci and Elias,  We proceeded to have a lovely day.

Then I had a night with Bihter, who came to the capital to do an english test.  We went to Lush for food, and had a few drinks in the old town.  Took one shot of her over dinner.

Then I went to Magusa to capture some show girl costumes made by Seren from StudioSarpDance

WHat can I say? Five girls, shooting at night in a church ruin.  Crazy and fun.  Thank you girls. Full set here
