I am so inspired by the photographic work of Jim Naughten. His portraits are incredible, especially this series on the Herero tribe members of Namibia. Their story is a fascinating one and how wearing these European style patchwork dresses has become part of their tradition is so interesting. I am desperately hanging out for his new book, Hereroes, which will be released next year. In the meantime, I can’t stop looking at the proud faces, beautiful posture, stark landscape and restrained photography. The whole series can be found here.
And now to the ridiculous…. Continue reading “Sublime” »

Happy New Year!
I must admit I’m feeling decidedly strange and a little off track. Just. Can’t. Get. Cracking.
Our road trip was incredibly disappointing due to a bout of such severe tonsillitis that I ended up in Merimbula District Hospital emergency department on New Years Day. That was fun. We then decided to cut our trip short and head straight to Sydney where fun thing number two happened. Andy was diagnosed with tonsillitis. Continue reading “Back” »

in Christmas, Family

Lots of pre-Christmas action happening here but all the joy and good cheer reminds me to stop and think about the people who aren’t enjoying this time of the year. For whatever reason. Continue reading “Counting down” »

Sister and the city

November 30, 2011

in Family, Work, etsy

I’ve been bed-ridden the past couple of days with a nasty virus. Feeling more than a little end-of-year burnt out. But enough of that. I did have a fun Sunday hanging out with Otto and my (Melbourne, not Sydney) sister, doing some Christmas shopping at Markit. It was crazy busy but with so many awesome designers/makers there I managed to do some serious purchasing. Feels so good shopping local at Christmas dontcha think?

Ok, where to start?

September 9, 2011

This past week has included some serious family fun. My favorite kind. Sydney was fabulous, we stayed at the olde worlde Australia Hotel (so gorgeously rundown) with my Mama, Granny and 2 beautiful sisters. There was sun and theater (free tickets to opening night of The Threepenny Opera with Eddie Perfect (crush alert!) as Mack [...]

See you soon…

September 2, 2011

I’m off to Sydney this weekend for a double celebration. Firstly my Mama is 60 and we are having a special girls weekend for her, because 60 is so the new 21 and therefore she is still very much a girl. We are also going to see my sis in her new play. Can’t wait!

A Happy ending

August 5, 2011

This week started like a horror movie, transitioned to sci-fi with a touch of drama/tragedy and ended up as a love story. A Disney fairytale to be exact.

Getting well soon

August 3, 2011

I have a minute to myself while my patients rest. I should be doing so many other things, yet I’m here. Oh well. Just wanted to say, my guilt for feeling resentful has not dissipated, but it has at least the resentment has gone. I was hoping there would be a torrent of comments telling [...]

Photo by Otto

July 28, 2011

The snow was amazing but I haven’t had a chance to upload the snow photos yet. It’s been such a busy week with customs to finish off and a whole heap of new balloons to photograph and put in the shop. Also sending off an order to a new stockist in Brisbane. I am so [...]
