Look Up
Something I try to do in my day to day life is look up, or down, or around corners. I try to notice things that I wouldn’t normally. Sometimes when I do that I have the camera with me. I went out for lunch on Chapel St, Prahrana. I sat there, on the first day…

Adelaide Adventure
This week I spent three days in Adelaide doing training for work. I had intended to have a bit of a wander around the city and get some photos of the different architecture and other stuff that I wouldn’t see in Melbourne. However my knee is still pretty sore so walking a long way was…

California Hotel
I have been driving past the California Hotel for months now, possibly years even looking at it’s dilapidated exterior, it’s smashed windows like a gapped toothed smile. I have often wanted to go in and shoot it, but the because it’s winter here I haven’t been lucky with the light. Today Melbourne and Mother Nature…

Goodies vs Baddies
Last Friday I went to an exhibition opening at Artboy in Greville St Prahran. Some of you may remember that I helped my friend Jonathan take his work there to be exhibited the week before. Exhibition openings tend to be fun, they have free or cheap drinks, you get to hang around with arty types…

A Night Out in Melbourne
Last night I spent a very lovely evening with my two gorgeous friends John and B. They live in an adorable apartment in Fitzroy with a view of the city and I was even organised enough to bring my tripod this time! This was a 2 second exposure looking towards the CBD from Fitzroy. I…

Playing with light: Markit @ Federation Square
It’s been a while since I did a photo essay, and this one isn’t really a photo essay, it’s more a chance for me to share my experimentations from my adventure yesterday. I was at Markit @ Federation Square. For those of you not in Melbourne Federation Square is a modern building complex that was…

Beach Walk Adventure
The last couple of days I have spent in a beach house in Tootgarook, about 1.5hrs down the coast from Melbourne. A friend of mine was having a birthday celebration and about 20 people all went away to help her celebrate. I hope that she had a fantastic time, I know I certainly did! On…

Night Rain and Hot Chocolate
Saturday night for me was pretty sedate; I went out for dinner with a friend in the Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy. After dinner we went out for hot chocolate and macarons at Shocolate in Johnson St. We decided to sit outside and not long after we sat down it started to rain. It was the…

Substation or Suburban Prison?
I was riding my push-bike home from the gym last Saturday when I saw this looming blue-stone structure; unromantically I think it’s an electricity substation, but I like to think of it as the doorway to a creepy unlisted/abandoned underground prison. Surely it was not constructed as an electricity substation, and was commandeered for the purpose; I…

Adventure in Carlton: Photos
This post won’t have many words, just some of photos from my adventure. Enjoy! I don’t really know what to say about this… It’s cool though. It’s a sticker about 10cm high that was stuck on a fence in Carlton. I am sure it’s making a statement but I’m not really sure what the statement…
