* Chicks dig it, especially Nicole Scott and Kitty Logan-- remember this photo? Of the J/24 J-SPOT in Sydney
Harbour, Australia dragging one of its crew members who'd fallen
overboard for a few yards (they luffed head to wind shortly thereafter
and pulled him aboard)? See more about how this happened-- they love
the J/24 fleet down in Sydney. Nicole and Kitty started
SailingImages.net and ply their trade with a "network" photographers in
Australia. There's a cute story on the infamous Sailing Anarchy site
about Nicole and her friend Kitty. Another Scot Tempesta "SA
InnerView"- "Sailing is one of the great sports, it is has grown to
encompass all walks of life and is one of the rare recreational pursuits
that is not age or gender specific. In particular so many women are now
so intricately involved, not only in the sailing but in associated
marine trades. A group that you will be seeing a lot of are Nicole
Scott, Kitty Logan and the team at Sailing Images.net. These girls spend
most weekends plying their trade of marine photography on Sydney
Harbour and at all the major sailing events. They will go to any length
to get the ideal angle, hanging out of boats and constantly striving for
the magic shot for your office or mantelpiece.This company in its short life has already made a significant impact with its photographs featured on international websites and magazines. It is expanding quickly and notably with acquisitions of the highest order. Two more Sydney based female photographers, Beth Morley and Michele Rogers have joined the team along with Greg Maunder in Victoria, Aaron Goldwater in Canada/US, Lisa McMenamin Personal Assistant and Daryl Hill, the chase boat driver. All this is the space of three months!

Three and a half years ago she lost her partner to a rare form of aggressive Leukemia. Her life was turned upside down overnight and the ensuing stress and emotional turmoil took its toll. However out of this difficult time came a new zest to live life to the fullest. She embraced her favorite pastimes, photography and nature, her 10th birthday was a milestone in her life with the gift of her first camera and she was clicking the shutters from that day."
