Over the past couple of years I get constantly asked “when are you going to do a book of your work”. Well I have decided to do a book to raise $2,000,000 to fight cancer. I have my work cut out but this is only 20,000 book sales, I just need less than 1% of Australia’s population to buy a book. I’m very happy to have OPA! Magazine with Dean Georgio and Steve Agi involved with this project. Cancer is a disease that has no discrimination to age, gender, race or religion. Everyone I have spoken to can name at least 5 people close to them who have battled with cancer, It is estimated more than 45,000 people will died from cancer in 2011/12
So the Book “In My Pants” will be made up with 30% Celebrities 40% Cancer fighters /survivors and 30% everyday people all wearing just my 30 year old Levi 501 jeans. The first 4 photos are from a shoot I did with Tina Sarantis 2 days before her first treatment for Breast Cancer. I was extremely honoured that Tina allowed me to shoot her having hair shaved off in preparation for her treatment and allow me to use the photos in my book. I hope Vicky Papas-Vergara and I made the experience a little more pleasant. Hair, Make-up and chef shaver: Vicky Papas
The rest of the photos and a sneak peek and I have over 250 more photos to come.

Dean Georgio from OPA! Magazine With some food for thought –
• Every 19 minutes, someone in Victoria is diagnosed with cancer and every hour, someone will die from it.
• One in three women and one in two men will be diagnosed with some form of cancer before the age of 75
• Cancer is the leading cause of death in Australia – more than 43,000 people are estimated to have died from cancer in 2010/11.
With this is mind, I hope you will all come along and support this worthy Fundraiser on May 9th with us in where the sole purpose is toraise funds to battle the statistics above which in one way or another has or will affect us all…
