winter at bondi beach

It is impossible to live without failing at something,
unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all

feeling very motivated and inspired this week.


Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary."

blogiversairy! 1 year old today

so a year ago today i was living in the gibson desert, in an aboriginal community which is about a 10 hour drive from alice springs.  we worked in a road house.  miles and miles of red sand all around us, as far as we could see.  it was another world, there were no distractions from society just plenty of time to think.  that's when i decided to start taking photos again hence my starting this blog.  i miss travelling, and i miss my travelling friends.  it's been three long months since we've stayed still, but i'm excited for what's to come.

thank you to all of my followers and all the lovely comments you leave - it keeps me going :)

happy birthday E

a photo i took of my sister, e, in a field in hampshire, england about 3 months ago.  it was her birthday yesterday so i thought i'd play with this picture for her.

it's been such a crazy week, hence the lack of posts, i've been moving to a new place (again!), retouching photos, assisting photographers, college work and shooting my own photos so lots of pics to come soon. anyway so good to have somewhere to live where we can stay for as long as we want, it's still temporary as it's a huge house share, but we can actually unpack, there's a wardrobe! and there's an awesome garden with a rope swing to amuse me.

night walk

its still winter in sydney but warm enough for a late night stroll in rosebay, and good news, we're now on a student visa which buys us more time in Australia.  I've also re done my website, it was far too time consuming to do it myself, instead i've used a portfolio template, you can check it out here and if you want to make one yourself, it's so simple you just drop your photos in, you can do so here.
