helping my friend do a photography assignment for uni, she had to have 10 photos with the theme of ‘memories’. So she explained to me that when she was younger, she truly wanted to be a fairy and played fantasy in her back garden all the time. So we collected some fairy/fantasy like props and headed to her backyard. And I edited the photos with some false, bright light-leak type streaks, to add to the fantasy feel, also to create more of an old feel. more on my flickr.

I was recently hired as an assistant wedding photographer with the leading photography company on the Central Coast - Impact Images. I had my first wedding last weekend. I was pretty nervous as I have only ever been to two weddings in my life and didn’t really know what to expect. There wasn’t a lot I could do for my first shoot, I helped as much as possible, holding and passing lenses where I was needed. As it was a pretty nice day and location, it turned out that here was no need for any artificial light or reflectors, so I didn’t get to learn anything about the lighting yet. During the ceremony I got asked if I wanted to use the spare camera and try to get some shots from different angles than the photographer. As I am pretty short, and everyone was crowded tightly around, I found it hard to find a spot where I had a clear/good view… I wanted so badly to get some good shots as I almost felt as if I had been getting in the way more than i was helping thus far. So i spotted the perfect spot to the left of the whole ceremony.. only I had to get through a small garden bed to get there, so i stepped through as hurriedly as i could as the celebrant had just begun the ceremony, crunching leaves under my feet… oops. So I had found a good spot to try and prove myself worthy of my new job title, and capture some nice shots! as i stepped to the left to take a photo, one of the groomsmen had left their empty beer bottle on the concrete, and my foot kicked it as I stepped, creating a loud and embarassing disctraction to the wedding vowels taking place……………… TRUST ME to be the only one to make a single noise during the ceremony. haha oh god, my mind instantly yelped “fuck!” I went home that night feeling a little disheartened and overwhelmed, I definately have a LOT to learn.

fingers crossed the next wedding this coming weekend goes a lot smoother! keen to learn more about the lighting and shooting :)

I took this shot for Angelas Dish as a favour as they and have recently replaced their drummer & needed a new photo for the local newspaper the next day. I tagged along to their band practice and shot a few photos. We all chose this one as the best, and vwallaah the next week I was eating lunch at my shitty discount store job flicking through the newspaper daydreaming of better things, when I came across the photo I had taken :)

I miss my friend rosebud. She likes my post (usually photographs of me that she took), puts up with my childish and/or sexist and/or racist comments, and calls me silly. Who could ask more in a buddy.

She’s currently living the dream, working in a photography studio. Not sure who took this photo of her but it’s probably a self shot, given her weapon of choice is a dslr.

Awwwww thanks Limmy :) I miss you too. I should make more of an effort to come down and visit more often. But you will be glad to know that I am planning to study at Ultimo next year so I will be a regular City-Goer and will be up for regular coffee dates, shopping in Paddington, Gallery visits and the like.I am hoping that appeals to you.

Oh, and it is self shot :) i just bought myself the new nikkor 35mm lens, it’s really nice for portraits and makes lovely bokeh in the background. Maybe not so great for self-portraits seeing as this is as much of my face I could capture with my arm extended as far as I could. I am aching to try it out on someone else!

the way the flecks of light are piercing, yet also sprinkling… soft yet harsh. and for a moment something in my mind suggests counting each individual speckle. - little owl.
