L - Crazy Babies! A parade of giant demonic babies engaged in a battle of good and evil have invaded central Melbourne as part of the Melbourne International Arts Festival. Crazy babies alright!! Its caused quite the stir in Melbourne though...
R - Too Many Drinks - Really cheating this week, and doing 2 pics from our trip to New Orleans! We had such a great time it was hard to choose which photos to use for side by side. So the French Quarter (spared by Katrina) is beautiful all except Borbon Street which is a clusterf**k of tourists and drunk frat boys. It was however a lot of fun and we had a signature Hurricane like all the best tourists! There's something about being able to walk around with a drink in your hands 24hrs a day that brings out the party animal in people!
L - Coffee Art - With my brother visiting over the last few weeks, we have been sampling the coffee delights of Melbourne. One of the best both in taste, and for the amazing Barista skills. The place is called Manchester Press named after the old printing press office that used to be in the building. It might be my fave place in Melb at the moment.
R - VooDoo - This is a wee snapshot of the resting place of the Voodoo Priestess Marie Laveau in New Orleans. People draw 3 X's on the side in the hope that she will grant them a wish. A picture I took of the front shows all the offerings that people have left for her. So cool, but I have to admit it was a little creepy!
L - Modern History - It was my Birthday and I am now 33! Eek. One of my wonderful gifts was a refurbished 70s polariod SX-70 camera! Its fantastic...although I am a little scared to use it because the film costs so much! Also in the shot is some photos of me as a kid taken with our trusty polaroid. My Dad would get film from work and as a result A LOT of my old photos are polaroids. You can see my awesome birthday costume where I was dressed as a domino - I think I was 9 or so. Random!
R - Parachute of Love - Scamus and Amanda got married this past weekend and we were up in DC for the festivities! This is snap of a parachute that was over the courtyard where they got married to protect us form the sun. So lovely!
L - Is that a chicken? I went to take some shots of these and it was too dark last week and I tried again the other day when we were visiting sadly its a phone shot! These are Japanese silky chickens! No I did not make that up and I also did not take a crap photo where you can't see any eyes or beaks etc this is what they look like. They freak me out because you can't tell what there are up to - they are like toilet brushes on legs! So funny!
R - Loaded Longboard - I tried out longboarding in central park with the NYSG, loved it and my new longboard is on it's way!
L - Haste Ye Back - have been working on a little Scottish print for my spare bedroom,which I have decided is going to have a bit of a flavour of home. Haste ye back is Doric for come back soon.
I have designed the whole print myself and after a lot of changes and layouts. I am super happy with it. I also got a modern deer head from Pulp to add to the 'theme'.
R - Bright Idea - Nothing too exciting this week, was struggling to think of some ideas for a photo, then I lay down on my bed and there it was.....
