Visited some photography exhibitions today as part of the Head On Festival in Sydney. These photos were part of the exhibition by John Dobson, paying homage to iconic images from art and photography. This man was studying the images with great delight artistic interest.
A gorgeous morning for swimming laps at the ocean pool at Freshwater Beach. I love that sensation of when you are swimming and push off from the wall and there is a rush of bubbles as your arms clear a path. I could easily spend my half hour continually doing just that, but it’s not really classified as exercise. And I’m an adult now.
You can usually tell by the amount of grass, dirt and mud that trails from my front door to the back.
Went into the city to catch a few lectures as part of the Head On photography festival. Always great to hear different perspectives and stories from photographers around the world.
Darling Harbour was aglow in soft hues as the sun set tonight. Everyone around me had just stopped, holding their phones up to capture the moment.
Had the delightful opportunity to photography blipper Isbi’s grandchildren today. With four children under the age of seven, the parents are definitely kept on their toes.
Polite, energetic and just gorgeous, the parents (and grandparents no doubt) have done a marvellous job raising these beautiful children.
To finish off a birthday dinner for my husband, my sons baked soft-centered chocolate puddings. A quarter of the mixture was gone before it made it into the pots, and their enthusiasm for cooking dropped considerably when it came time to clean up.
So pleased to see such a wonderful turnout for the ANZAC Dawn Service at Dee Why Beach this morning. As the sun rose, this little girl placed her handmade poppies in the sand.
I’m trying to practice ‘loosening up’ my photography style sometimes and having images that are not so controlled. Capturing the light and the moment. This is Annie in the afternoon light.
Attended another great SMH Clique presentation, this time with Fairfax photographer Nick Moir who had some incredible weather photos to share. Also guest storm chaser Jimmy Deguara who showed some video footage that was shot within 1km of the huge 2013 Oklahoma tornado that ended up taking the lives of four storm chasers.
Afterwards we ventured out into slightly milder weather conditions, braving some light drizzle on the harbour on our way to Cockatoo Island to photograph the Sydney Biennale.
Love having visits from my neighbour in the holidays. He brought some books over, and despite not being at school yet, he will read me his version of what the books might say. His storytelling is done with great gusto, hilarity and exaggeration.
The kids are making the most of the great school holiday weather and spent the day snorkelling and swimming around Manly with friends. Sustenance provided by the good Aussie staples of lamingtons and watermelon.
