OCTOBER, 2012

Documenting my birthday and the week visit from my father. This was his second time in melbourne, and much more enjoyable than the first (all traffic, bustling people, moving my belongings and sad goodbyes). This time we were settled in our home, where it is quieter and next to the seaside. There was a spare lot for dad to park his bus and a backyard for busta to sleep. Together we drove 500 kms around melbourne in the bus, exploring new places and enjoying each others company, we both feel more comfortable on the road.

waking up on my birthday morning, drinking tea with arnold and my father

countryside birthday adventure in my fathers bus
little present to myself
getting lost in antique stores and marvelling at the treasures within
bag envy!
new obsession with photographing my feet. quite strange because i don’t own flattering or expensive shoes, as demonstrated by these $5 kmart sneakers
the most incredible cheese cake martin made for my birthday
the next day a lens martin bought for my present arrived in the mail and i ran outside to test it in our garden
busta is camera shy
me, martin and dad adventured by train into the city to see my university exhibition
always trying to work out how to use his phone..
peeking in the windows off city streets
our exhibition was quite small, only two prints each and held in the basement of our building
my two prints are second in from the right!
on a warm, sunny day, dad and i picked up my cousin sarah and her boyfriend james to explore the mornington peninsular. dad jokingly told me to take a picture of the cloudless sky because it would last longer!
the beaches of sorento are just magic
sarah and james convinced me to climb the boardwalk to the top of the hill
the view was beautiful motorcycle warehouse where my father was in heaven
we worked on bringing my bike back to life and now that i finally know how to ride a bicycle it’s going to get lots of love exploring our neighbourhood.
i hand painted flowers on the frame
and the weekend brought a fashion shoot with the most beautiful dresses, i can’t wait to show you.
