The bikkies were calling me. We’d first met a month earlier when celebrating my birthday. Pear, hazelnuts, and dark chocolate in a soft, crumbly mound of pure heaven. I would share a photo, but they are long gone. The biscuits live a good 45-55 minute drive from my house. I don’t normally drive myself on …
I’ve spent the last two weeks in Perth’s CBD undertaking training for my new part time job. On Friday, I took my camera into town to photograph some of the gorgeous facades along Murray and Barrack streets during my break. I ended up turning my attention to the people around me instead. These photographs were …
Hah! I don’t think sixteen year olds have been ‘sweet’ since bout 1940 (and even then I have my doubts), but I was stuck for a title and it seemed appropriate. The one with the cheesy grin is my cousin’s eldest girl. She turned 16 on the weekend and was given her first DSLR. She’s …
Oh, it’s been such a long time since I did a baking post! And this is a perfect way to celebrate post #200! Mum came up to to see me a couple of weeks ago for Mothers’ Day and one of our outings was to one of the Asian supermarkets in Victoria Park. They’ve intrigued …
I wasn’t even sure this photoshoot was going to happen. I’d looked at the long term forecast about 2 weeks before. 30c+ days and then an oasis of cool in the middle of the week. 25c and raining sounded perfect. I started researching trash-the-dress ideas, fixated on beautiful umbrella photos with pouring rain, dark and …
Heathcote in Applecross, sits high on a hill overlooking the Canning and Swan rivers with views out to the CBD. From the 1920s to the early 1990s Heathcote was used a a mental health facility. It has since been restored and redeveloped as a heritage spot and features stunning views, native plants and a walk down the hill to the banks of the river.
I ordered myself a copy of my Floral Soul notebook from blurb.com and I’m in love with it! This is the softcover version – glossy cover with creamy low contrast pages for all your thoughts and notes. I’m just so impressed with how well it’s printed!
Last weekend me, Jesse and his partner, Bec, caught up for a little stroll around some local parkland to capture some of the lovely wild orchids and other plants. Anyway, these are some of my favourite photos from the day. I’m pondering entering one of the orchid pictures in the South Perth Emerging Artist awards.
Holly belongs to my friend Nika’s sister Tegan, or more specifically (as most cat people will agree), Tegan belongs to Holly. Holly is a grand old dame of 16 years and met me with some skepticism and sneering yesterday when I started following her around with my camera. “If you can get a decent photo …
This post has been a long time coming, but I’m pleased to finally present my fine-art project to you: The Seven Deadly Sins. Wrath * Lust * Avarice * Gluttony * Sloth * Pride * Envy One of my major projects in order to pass my Diploma course was to present a thematic body of work produced in the darkroom on …
There are some gorgeous examples of Art Deco architecture around Perth’s suburbs, so many so that it’s hard to have a favourite (although Piccadilly is high on the list as that’s where I first saw my now husband). The buildings I love have taken on many roles and paint colours throughout my life (and even … Continue reading »
These photographs are part two of my photo walk on Saturday 4th May 2013. After exploring East Fremantle I hopped in my car to take a look around the Leighton beach area. I have never been here before but as a kid would stare out over the water as I rode the 45 minute train … Continue reading »
As I sit down to type this, it’s just ticked over into the early hours of Easter Sunday. It’s been a nice weekend so far. For the first time in over a decade, Jason and I have a major holiday all to ourselves. No work, no long drives, no obligations. It’s our first plan-free Easter … Continue reading »
I have to share with you something that I find quite remarkable. If you’ve followed my work for some time, you’d know that I’m pretty taken with native everlastings (paper daisies). It’s hard not to be, with their gorgeous happy colours and intricate design. They are responsible for bringing thousands of tourists to our shores … Continue reading »
I finally discovered how the fur-child gets onto the roof…. If you’d like to buy a print of any of these, with or without some kind of inspiring quote written over it, then please email me at blackcurrant(at)iinet.net.au Happy travels! Continue reading »
A new year always starts with the grandest of plans. Loads of resolutions and the commitment to grand projects like taking a photo to a theme or taking one every day for a year. This year I pre-empted my nasty habit of letting life get in the way of documenting life (figure that one out) … Continue reading »
One of my new year resolutions was to cut out as much dairy and eggs as possible and practical. A bunch of factors influenced this, notably my vegan friends posting a lot of information on what happens in the dairy industry and pictures of little baby chickens going through hell. I’m not ready to go … Continue reading »
