I spotted this beautiful pup this afternoon when I took a trip to the Battersea Lost Dogs Home. It was heart-wrenching to be reminded not only of just how misrepresented the Staffordshire Bull Terrier breed is, but to then learn about the shocking volume of these dogs who come into Battersea on a daily basis. I only hope that we can all start to care for these wonderful creatures in a higher standard than is currently being shown.

While away in Sydney last weekend I was lucky enough to go to a screening of Black Swan. I was left reeling. It was one of the greatest cinematic experiences I've ever had. The entirety of the film was startling, breathtaking, disturbing, graceful. The combination of madness mixed with reality, and the translation of it on screen, threw the film into a new level of originality. The cinematography was isolating, and enabled the viewers to be thrown into the world with the characters portrayed, while an absolutely stunning score fitted in the background, like a glove. The film becomes even more impressive once one realises what strides the actors took to fit their rolls. I have nothing but the highest of regards for this film, and would gladly see it again.

A few days ago my mother and I went to lunch at a wonderful little Japanese restaurant called Yu-U. In a charming, friendly, low-key atmosphere we enjoyed some of the most authentic Japanese cuisine I’ve had since visiting Japan. Located off in Melbourne’s CBD, this place is more than worth a visit.

Many thanks to Michael, who was kind enough to share it with me.

In the weeks since the school year has finished, and summer began, it seems as though I haven't stopped. From meeting an abundance of phenomenal individuals through friends, family, or via random run-ins, to taking travels and planning future ones, to playing with my dearest friends, and starting work on 2 multi-medias. Lately it seems as though a door opens everywhere I turn, and I'm not always sure which one to explore first.

To follow are a handful of images from past endeavors.

Enjoy!

It is the end of semester, and the end of my 2nd year. At the end of each semester, we are required to submit a body of work that we’ve developed and created through the semester. I chose to do a study on light, and how I view it’s relationship with the society around me.

Every frame taken has been observed, and the only one created beyond the means my compositional intuition and observation is the last frame, regarding a quote. The quote, written by Haruki Murakami, was something that really drove my folio this semester. I ached to include it, somehow, so I painted it on a wall and photographed it.

Images to follow!

Saturday evening saw the completion of yet another Murakami novel. Each story I’ve read has enveloped me in absolute wonderment, and this one was no different. Mystery played with reality, an in-between world, and obscure, honest characters who never stopped developing - for better or worse. After finishing Dace Dance Dance, I found myself shroud in goosebumps.

Today has been one of those notable days where you're constantly tempted to pinch yourself. Each corner I've turned today, I've been greeted with an experience that ultimately left behind a feeling of excitement, gratitude, and euphoria. From my morning coffee, to meeting my cherubic 3 day old niece, to purchasing a camera I've saved a year for from a man I had an unexpected connection with, to helping out a friend preparing for a college interview I underwent 2 years ago, to being invited to Sydney for the opening of Reportage by a dear friend.
It was simply one of those absolutely exceptional days that have occurred amongst a rather outstanding year.

Today I went to Heide to visit their latest exhibition entitled "Up Close". It featured the work of Carol Jerrems, William Yang, Larry Clark, and Nan Goldin. The bodies of work produced by each of the photographers explored an array of sub-cultures, documenting worlds that were close to their hearts. The photographs shown were captured with a quiet intimacy, and held the feeling that the moment was lived, and felt, not just merely observed.

I highly recommend a visit, with a stop at Café Vue, if you've got the chance.

A Fisherman cast his net and caught a little Fish. The little Fish begged him to let him go for the present, as he was so small, and to catch him again to more purpose later on, when he was bulkier. But the Fisherman said: "Nay, I should be a very simpleton to let go a good thing I have got and run after a doubtful expectation."

Last weekend I was fortunate enough to take the time needed for a drive to New South Wales with the invitation of exploring parts of the old Falkiner & Sons properties, and to witness the twice annual buzz of the sheep shearing.

The experience was absolutely mind-blowing. The sheer vastness of the surrounding lands was just astonishing, and somewhat formidable. Enclosed below is small selection of my accounts.
