i paint ze faces.

Early this week i had an opportunity to help out a local medical centre with a fun day they were having. It was held in an Indigenous community a half an hour drive away from here. The idea behind it was to bring in some people of the community and promote a healthy lifestyle. Roebourne doesn't have a shop to purchase fresh produce or anything with a good nutritional value. The closest woolworths being 15 minutes away by car.. leaving people how don't drive or don't have a car to shop at the local petrol station.. sausage roll and coke for dinner? i can't imagine it being too cheap either. They brought in a dietician, lovely food and a jumping castle and face painting for the kids. That is where i was able to lend a hand. They last time I face painted was when i was 12 at a school fete. I figured i work with brushes almost everyday on a face.. it can't be all that hard. Its harder then it looks thats all i can say. My load was lightened by the kids not being to creative with the choice of design.. all boys opted to be spiderman and all the girls wanted a butterfly. I got pretty good at the good ole spidey by the end of the day. I loved it. They are all so patient and friendly. i took a few shots but there is only so many versions you can see of the same thing without going crazy.
