alma road film

Here is a photo diary of sorts of the pictures that came out from me first couple of rolls from a Pentax K1000. Alma Road was the first sharehouse I moved into, and towards the end of this post are pictures of my second sharehouse on Grand Prom. The Sharehouse Diaries, if you will. And the dog belonged to my old housemate at Alma - her name is Kiida. She is a Retriever cross Samoyed and the most loving beautiful dog on earth. I miss her so. 

black and white filmstock adventures

Last semester, I had the glorious opportunity to work in my university's dark room whilst studying a Photowork unit. The above photographs are a selection of film I developed from 35mm Ilford black and white film stock both at ISO 400 and 1600 for two assignments; Picturing Movement and Picturing The Dark. I honestly wish I could do this unit every semester. Taking photos and developing them in a dark room yourself is an experience like no other. Frustrating and time consuming, yet educational and oh so rewarding when you come out with a photograph pretty much exactly how you had envisioned it. 

Raw, tangible moments in black and white. They are the best ones.

P.s. In other news, as of yesterday I am officially heading to Melbourne in January, and am going to see these guys live! James Booth tho made this video for the band is incredible. Check out his work, his black and whites (and everything) he does is beautiful.

the road is home

Well, Hello! Wow, I really have been awol these past few months! I think a break from the blog was a good thing...just living away from a computer screen for a while... although my iPhoto is so packed and disorganised with images I just about cry every time I look at it. Am still incredibly busy with Uni work, but shall hopefully become more regular with posts after November 1st, when all the madness dies down! For now here is an image I have completely fallen in love with, by one of my favourite Aussie photographers Nirrimi Firebrace. I highly recommend following her blog The Road is Home for her travel photography, she is an absolute raw talent...can't even-

Enjoy x

starry eyed

This was a shoot I did at the beginning of the year, and here is the result. Loved the extreme brows and starry eyes. Styled and modelled by yours truly and photographed by my old friend Kyra.
