Rooftop Cinema – experiments with light bulbs
Last night I went to the Rooftop Cinema at Curtin House in central Melbourne, we saw “We need to talk about Kevin” – the film was amazing but can be best described as mind-breaking. The Rooftop Cinema has quite a unique décor with coloured light bulbs strung up around the edges. I watched as the…

A Day at the Beach
On Wednesday I visited my mum and sister at the beach. When I was a kid we rented a house down the on the Mornington Peninsula each year for a couple of weeks, now my mum and sister carry on the tradition – this year, as usual they were at Balnarring. I went down to…

Portraits – some first attempts
I spent some time yesterday with my very good friend Wade, and he was kind enough to let me take some pictures of him. They are really my first attempt at portraiture and I thought you all might like to see them. Looking pensively into middle distance. With lovely natural smile. With new harmonica. I…

Byron Bay Part 1
I was recently invited to visit Byron Bay for a little over a week in exchange for dog and plant-sitting duties. I arrived on Monday 28th November. The pace of life in Byron is, well, much, much slower. Locals seem pretty chilled out and while there is some debate over whether Byron itself has become…

Adventuring
I spent today feeling like I did not achieve very much. In the morning I made a bag from an old pair of jeans I found while cleaning stuff out to go the op shop. Here is a bad photo from my phone: At about 5pm I decided I needed to go on an adventure.…

My first photo essay
When I woke up this morning I decided that I would go on an adventure and make a photo essay of my travels. However, I think I’m still recuperating my energy from being in my last job and therefore I didn’t do a very good job. Today I managed to watch a lot of Arrested…
