Week 78

L - Finders Keepers Market - I headed to the wonderful Finders Keepers craft market or should I say Indie craft market. A large shed or warehouse in Melbourne's Docklands crammed full of creative goodness. Needless to say I found and kept plenty of good stuff. Sadly not one of these retro lamps...they are super cool though.


R - Dog Days - This week I took some photos for my friend Julia who owns Bark Slope Salon in Park Slope, Brooklyn. This was the 12 o'clock, who had the best expression whilst standing in the tub!

Week 77

L - Thinking of Japan - I bought this Tokyo cut out postcard this time last year when I visited Japan, and I have been thinking a lot about the place. I really did fall in love with the country and the people and I feel so bad for those who lost their lives and/or homes. Anyway, I googled the Japanese flag and held the postcard up to the screen...ta da...this weeks pic.


R - On the D - I took my camera (and fisheye) to work this morning with the intention of getting some shots of the building I work in, but snapped this on the train instead. I mostly enjoy the reflection.

Week 76

A special dog posting this week, big love to Zak x


L - Old Man Zak - We got some sad news about our 17year old dog Zak the other day and we don't expect him to be around for too much longer. The vet found a tumour in his abdomen, for now he is all good and eating and jumping around like a fool when its time for a walk. It is to be expected I guess at his age. We are enjoying our time with him and spoiling him rotten for the time being. This week is dedicated to the old boy :-)


R - She's a maniac, maniac on the floor...So we are looking after little Meche (Cesar's mum's dog), she's hilarious and loves to play dress up HA! It was hard to choose between this photo and another shot from when she made herself comfortable on the bed after I stripped it to take to the laundromat. Meche means little tuft of hair in Spanish, which is very appropriate, but I've had to practice my Spanish as she doesn't really get english or just enjoys ignoring me. Ooooh and we've recently discovered that if she isn't a Chinese Crested Powder Puff, she has some in her (oooooer). Someone told us about the breed, and then we met one on the street last night and she definitely has the characteristics of a powder puff - silly name! I only knew of the hairless dogs, but apparently there's a recessive gene and in every litter there are some powder puffs shazzam!

Week 75

L - Autumn Sky - I was desperately trying to capture some photos of one of the 20+ dragonflies that were buzzing around the back garden (it seems our wet summer has brought them out in droves). Alas, I didn't manage to - too damn fast. On my way back inside I saw the early Autumn sky reflected in the window. I liked seeing the lines of the blind...with the clouds. Also added a wee texture from the wonderful Lost & Taken


R - MOUSTACHE - We finally had our housewarming party after a 5 month settling in period (can you believe we've lived here for 5 months already). We had a Beer and Moustache Party which made for some interesting pictures and after looking through my project 365 recently I decided to post this self portrait, it's been while since I did one of those!

Week 74

L - A Sea of Bikes - It was an early 5.30am wake up to go and support Shane do his 4th triathlon for the season. It was a very rainy morning and my camera had a few issues - so this is the best from the morning. The sea of bikes was impressive and well....here they are


R - We went to Ikea to get a bed for the mattress we have in the spare room as Mr and Mrs L will be arriving in only 4 weeks. These are some awesome buses and lower manhattan as seen from the Ikea cafe cools huh! from the other window there is a cool view of the statue of liberty! Ikea isn't really know for it's windows but I guess when you have a view like this you have to make the most of it! Also sorry not the best quality as I zoomed in on my phone camera, will promise to take photos with my SLR this weekend!
