USA – Ordinary People
While I was on my travels I took an enormous number of photos. I have been back for a couple of weeks, but life got in the way a bit and I am only just getting on to organising my photos into themed photo essays for this blog. I am starting with a theme I’m…

I’m going on holiday!
I’ve been a bit quiet lately. I guess blogging, like writing and just about everything else in life, goes through peaks and troughs. During the space since my last update I’ve had exams (one of the joys of going back to uni) and have booked myself a trip to the United States for a month…

Bright Sunshiney Day
Today I bought myself a new toy! I bought a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 lens for my camera. I have been reading a bit about fixed focal length lenses and I have come to understand that they are good for portraiture, as well as being faster (thus allowing lower light photos to come out better).…

Daylesford Adventure
Last Sunday I drove about 120km out of Melbourne to Daylesford. The area is well known for it’s natural mineral springs, and was a favoured holiday spot of families and glitterazzi in times gone by.

Spring Flowers
This post is going to be mostly photos, with a little explanation at the start. Spring has been springing in Melbourne for about three weeks, the cherry blossoms are out, the days are sunny, yesterday I spent almost the whole day in a t-shirt! It’s very exciting after having endured a pretty cold and miserable…

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…

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…
