So – as you all know, I have been faithfully feeding this blogging addiction of mine for the past two years. It really nurtures my love of adventure, photography and story-telling. I’ve also met wonderful people and received some great feedback. A while ago I stumbled upon a blog called Nubby Twiglet. It features the … Continue reading
As I downloaded yet another useful photography tool onto my iPhone, I stopped to think about all the amazing resources I use on a daily basis. All the websites, apps and portals that help me create, file, share and learn. It’s honestly mind boggling to contemplate the sheer number of inspirational, credible and FREE online … Continue reading
I’m going on a last-minute work trip to Bali next week. I’m pretty excited as I’ve never been before and I’ve heard so many good things about the place. While my day-to-day handbag resembles the remnants of a small explosion (loose raisins, faded receipts, loose change, dog-eared business cards and the like), I’m pretty darn organised … Continue reading
As you’ll see, I’ve done a spot of mixing and matching this past week. Aside from my sheer love of the game, I do like to pour through my archived shots. I’m reminded of some of the utterly fabulous places and spaces I’ve been fortunate enough to visit in the past few years. It also … Continue reading
Towards the end of last year, a friend very kindly introduced me to a project he’s been working on at real estate giants CBRE. It’s a residential development called George & Allen, located in the budding, post-industrial Sydney neighbourhood of Waterloo and just around the corner from this and this. It’s a really convenient area, close to … Continue reading
It was really just a matter of time before a quirky little cafe made another appearance on this blog. And it’s another Melbourne beauty (you saw that coming too, didn’t you?). I discovered this cafe via Broadsheet and haven’t looked back. By that I mean that I go to this cafe every time I visit … Continue reading
I came across Volker Haug‘s work through Matt Woods, who designed the interior of one of Sydney’s hippest eateries, Bloodwood. I interviewed Matt about his design of the space for Artichoke Magazine soon after I arrived in Sydney. Volker, a lighting designer from Melbourne, is the talent responsible for the funky antleresque light fittings that colonize the space. (Still a firm … Continue reading
I’ve been collecting free postcards, business cards, brochures, coasters, posters, labels etc, generally anything graphically interesting for the last ten years. I must have hundreds of seemingly useless bits of paper and card in various folders boxes and plastic sleeves. I’ve tried to get rid of them a number of times but stopped just short … Continue reading
When I look at my “photographs” folder, I realise how much material I’ve amassed this year and how much of it is yet to reach this blog. . . A case in point, is this revolutionary little cafe that I visited in Melbourne a few months back. I wrote about it for wallpaper.com, an appropriate … Continue reading
It’s often the simple, uncomplicated things in life that give me the most joy. Aside from the usual suspects – a good cup of coffee, home baked bread, freshly picked flowers – I am drawn to clean, uncomplicated objects and design. A fresh sprig in a recycled glass jar, a fresh tomato and basil salad, … Continue reading
