Abandonned
Today I went on an adventure and ended up in Mordialloc, a beach about half an hour from Melbourne. There is a boat repair place just back from the beach, along the creek, and in front of it are the skeletal remains of dead boats. I think the shadows in this one look a bit like…

Survived!
This month I have been quiet because I undertook to do NaNoWriMo – National Novel Writing Month. The goal was to write a 50,000 (or more) word novel entirely in the month of November. On Monday I submitted my novel to the NaNobots and they confirmed that I had 50,131 words. I WON! My first…

Blogaversary and update
I have been super busy lately, and as warned, have not been posting much but yesterday, 7 November 2012 was exactly one year since I started this blog. It is also my 82nd post. Amazing. I think it is incredible to look at what I’ve done over the last year, to take stock of all…

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…

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…

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…
