Sydney – Part 3: Write Club
Some of you may know that I aspire to be a writer, or at lease be better at writing, it is something I used to do when I was an emo teenager but that I forgot to nurture as I got older (along with a lot of things). Louise is a fantastic writer, really she’s…

Sydney – Part 2: Future Music Festival
I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey… well, not really, but I would like to give my review of the Future Music Festival. I will be doing this in Chapters, because I feel like it and I must apologise in advance for the poor quality of the photos, I…

Sydney – Part 1: Write Club – the photos
I went to Sydney over the last weekend to visit my friend Louise (yes the same one from the Tasmanian adventure) and to attend the Future Music Festival. Louise, being the fabulous host she is, arranged for a number of other awesome activities, one of which was to attend a thing called Write Club. Louise…

Tasmania: Part 9 – Beer!
This will be my last post about my trip to Tasmania. I realised yesterday that I was there for seven days, but I have managed to write nine blogs about it! I think that’s a fair effort – granted they’re mostly photo essays. Louise made a request when we were organising the trip that we…

Tasmania: Part 8 – Quirky shops and objedar
Towards the end of the trip I encountered a few lovely shops filled with quirky objedar. Well, either that or they were trussed up op-shops completely filled with over-priced shit depending on your particular point of view. Either way, I think I got a few nice shots. This gorgeous clock was available for sale at…

Tasmania: Part 7 – Landscapes and the Great Outdoors
Tasmania has been marketing for some time as the pristine state, it even says so on the number plates, for some time. It is known for it’s rugged wilderness, for Cradle Mountain, for beautiful coast lines, for islands and lakes and rivers and general gorgeousity. While our trip was not particularly rugged or wilderness focussed…

Tasmania: Part 6 – Architecture
There are lots of really excellent aspects to Tasmania and one that really stood out for me what the architecture. Unlike in Melbourne or Sydney the proportion of very old buildings is much higher in Hobart and in many of the small towns dotted around the state. Many of the bigger cities seem to have…

Tasmania – Part 5: Arty Photos
There are a number of photos that don’t really fit under any of the headings so far; photos that I thought were artful, some of the slightly more adventurous shots. These are some awesome silk scarves that were at the Salamanca Markets. The bar stools at the Café in MONA Cascade Brewery from inside the…

Tasmania – Part 4: Sunrise, Sunset
I went over to Tasmania on the Spirit of Tasmania, which is a ferry service from Melbourne to Devonport, it takes all night. The Spirit allows you to take your car over so it was very convenient for Louise and I to travel around the island state. This photo essay was taken on the boat…

Tasmania – Part 3: MONA
Up until now I haven’t really told you all why Louise and I went to Tasmania; we went to see MONA. Louise read a review of the Museum of New and Old Art which had opened in Hobart in January 2011 (it may have been this one) and sent it to me with a message…
