the calm before the storm

the weekend before semester two of college (the calm before the storm) was spent opshopping and photographing bits of liverpool, sydney and bungendore. although the shopping area in Liverpool is insanely beautiful and rundown, opshopping is not recommended over there! i was looking for a big warehouse with everything from coke bottles to century-old calculators. I know there is a place in Glebe, Sydney, called Junktique which won't let you down. the following photographs were taken over the whole trip. I wish i had more to share, but i rushed the photos and didn't check the exposure until it was too late... at least I have something to post before i return to college. the above photo is along hume highway and for years I've wanted to do a photoshoot there.

an unedited and failed shot I took of tanya holding up a leather book I bought to use as a portfolio for my work. I bought quite a few leather items these holidays.. i could make a post about it soon.

tanya being confused as to why the train was moving backwards, slowly.

webers circus

Grace and our new acrobat friend. he showed us to our seats before the show started, and when I was denied permission by someone else to take photographs, he said I should be alright if I sneak them and don't get caught. I didn't end up sneaking any because we were too close to the ring, but the main aim was to capture the lovely Grace around the showground anyway. Might I add, this acrobat had the best act in the finale! it's hard to explain exactly what he did, but he was balancing, without a harness, on a large metal piece moving in a propellor-like way, sometimes blind-folded and sometimes with a skipping rope.

friday 13 with madalyn rose

this particular friday was the luckiest i've ever had; the skies were completely clear even though the weather man said there'd be rain, it was the warmest day of the week, our outfits accidentally coordinated perfectly with the setting (my outfit matched the foresty area & madalyn had food themed accessories to match the billboard) and we achieved some lovely shots in a short amount of time. pictures of madalyn are taken and edited by me, and pictures of me (in the brown dress) were taken and edited by madalyn.
