a walk around this neighbourhood

It's so easy to just be inspired by your surroundings, I find much more than it is to draw inspiration directly from people. These are some photos from just a basic walk around my neighbourhood. Camera in hand and just observing.

Adelaide's Forgotten Outlaws

been a short while between posts and I have lots to catch up on :) 

I suppose this means I have been busy (probably an understatement) but there has been some great things happening. 

Just a quick share of some images I snapped for my co-creative project Dear Eleanor which aims to highlight and showcase local talent througout South Australia. The first issue was released in February and there has been more than an overwhelming response. My dear friend Emma (and editor of the zine) is working super hard to continue to showcase in between issues. She writes like no-one else I know. It's truly captivating. Head on over to find the blog here

Here are some images I snapped for our recent post card designs. The idea behind the postcards are that we will be able to feature local talent (cross-promotions). This particular theme is based around Peter Drew for his amazing work on Adelaide's Forgotten Outlaws. A series of paste-ups around the city.

It's worth checking out the story behind it all, especially if you live in South Australia. See more here. 

I managed to snap these last Friday evening on a trek through the city. 

  

exploration.

exploring the sweet little suburb i live in. I truly love it here :) regardless of being so close to the city, it is serene. These shots were taken with my Canon 60D. A lot of the locations included will also feature in an engagement photo session I have on the weekend for my wonderful friends Keri & Phil.

photography portfolio - this.is.epic

As this year will bring about many new photography projects, work with Dear Eleanor (the new zine my friend Emma and I have created), assisting local photographers and hopefully weekends full with a camera in my hand, I have upgraded my carbonmade profile.

There are a bunch of new galleries and a few developed older ones :) I really love how professional the carbon made pages are and this is a good place to direct people who want to see my work.

market treasures

I went to a little market today and was so surprised to come across such treasures. I always wondered why photographs and anything with handwriting was not cherished by families. These wonderful postcards date back to 1919 and are in impeccable condition and such stunning portraits. 

The one of the gentlemen I find particularly interesting. The detail in their clothing, the fob-watch chain, the boots and those moustaches are just mezmerizing. 

I also picked up these cute whale salt and pepper shakers to add to my ever growing collection :-) all up this cost me $4. Needless to say, I will certainly be heading back there again.

dear eleanor - the zine

I have been so excited to be working on this project lately :)

Welcome to Dear Eleanor, a wonderful new zine created to celebrate Adelaide and South Australian talents, wares and hidden gems!

My friend Emma and I wanted to create a world that sings the praises of Adelaide. A city that has long been lauded as the sorry younger cousin of the brighter, bigger Eastern States and cities. Dear Eleanor is where you can join us on this glorious road trip of wonder to uncover some of the best places in this delightful State. We hope to be one of the first feature zines focusing specifically on Adelaide.

With the first issue of Dear Eleanor set for release in February, we are so happy to be able to share it with everyone - you can expect to see Peter Drew, Claire Alice Young, Cafe Komodo, White Wall Photography, Presence and much more gracing the pages along with some fantastic articles, interviews and tidbits.

Head over and add us as a friend on blogger here and befriend us on facebook here

here's a little preview of one of the great features we have for the first issue ;)
