Depression vs Tomorrow

| Home, photography

I’ve spent the last few hours crying, & searching for answers, for forgiveness, & for words. I wanted to write something lovely. Instead I’m going for whatever I can manage. Not everyone who suffers will ask for help. Physical & emotional suffering are both as real as each other, while not as obvious. Some people […]

I can’t post much about Goldfields SES Challenge yet, as we’re waiting for the Local Manager of our unit to be back from his holiday first. We want to show him the photos from challenge, so we’re holding back on public posts until we’ve had our training night (Wednesday) & put them up on the […]

Around this time last year, I wrote about my experiences being invited to attend the annual Goldfields SES Challenge. They made me feel welcome, as though I was one of their own, & it made the task of following them around for 3 days a lot of fun. A sea of tents & hundreds of […]

I’ve just gotten home after a whirlwind, 2 day Southwest photo safari, & I’m not sure if I’m more excited about the photos we took or the conversations I had with strangers. I was up at 3am to get to the meet point out in Perth foothills for a 4am escape from Perth. Jason Matz […]

The thing about Australians, is they’re a very laid back bunch. As a culture there’s a lot to be said for, “She’ll be right mate, no worries.” The standard response to a bad thing is to crack a tinny with your best mate.  Ignore it, build a bridge & get over it, because it will […]

As promised, now that the gallery exhibition is over, here are the brave words of one of my models. Miss Pixie flew out from Sydney for me in 2012, lugged costumes with her, & spent 4 hours at a hairdresser to alter her hair for a character.  We had a very full-on week of sewing, […]

Perth’s Fringe World Festival is over for another year.  We can hang up our artist passes & actually get a bit of rest & normality back into our lives.  Hah!!  Who are we kidding?! Good intentions aside, it’s probably more likely a rushed game of catch up for all the things we missed or put […]

I thought I would show you my setup. It’s pretty simple.  It’s not a huge warehouse full of negative space, but it’s set up in a way that is nice & modular.  Like my sofa.  Modular is cool.  [snerk]  I have a Tetris Studio. The main wall has a 3m wide backdrop.  The photo above […]

Awesome things happen when you cross Social Media with a close knit community who act more like a small town than a suburb. Yesterday, I posted that we were greatly missing our travel mascot, Sharlene the Emu. Last night, we had her back! I posted a photo of her to Instagram, with where we last […]

Many of you may have seen Sharlene the Emu pop up in my photos before. She’s missing & we’re really hoping that whomever currently has her will read this & bring her home.  We’ll even come & collect her – we don’t mind!  We just want her back. To any of you who were out […]

“Big things are in the works.” “Dastardly Plans” These are all things you’ve probably read if you’ve been watching my Facebook pages of late.  Broad, generalised statements that are so very ambiguous they are almost criminal. Admittedly, the dastardly plans were nothing more sinister than secretly cutting most of my hair off.  Amber did her […]

This may be the first review I’ve ever struggled to write.  To be honest, I’m not sure where I want to start. I bought Concrete Minerals’ products to fill a void in my kit of brightly coloured yet still vegan makeup.  I have vegan brushes, cleansers (Akin Alchemy), & a couple of neutral shades of […]
