Perth Wedding, Portrait, & Event Photographer
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 […]
Here’s the post so many of you have been waiting for! Goldfields SES Challenge 2014!! Once per year, during the ‘Western Australia Day’ long weekend, the Western Australian State Emergency Service hold the Goldfields SES Challenge at a different location within the Goldfields region. This year, it was held in & around the town of […]
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 […]
One word: Wow!! There were standing ovations at Werewolf Priest! The Lamentable Ballad of Father Hank Grimby last night! Cast & crew alike – you guys & gals were amazing! Wonderful! Astounding! And the show was all amounts of epic! The story was captivating. Even though I already had plenty of tasters from the […]
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 […]
I had a very special shoot for my Shoe Project today. An amazing & wonderful lady has flown all the way from NSW with her four favourite pairs of shoes, to model them for my book! For those following this blog who aren’t aware of the geography down here, that’s the opposite side of the […]
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 […]
Hi! I’m Sharlene the Emu! I’ve taken over this blog (well, I’ve created a user account to post things too) & I figured you would prefer me to start from the beginning…. so here is my beginning! I found my humans from my vantage point on a shelf in a gift store at Nambung National […]
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 […]
National SES Week runs from 11th November – 17th November 2013 It is a week for West Australian’s to recognise the hard work of the State Emergency Service (SES). Held nationally in early November, these are the dates that WA hold it. Just like the Queen’s Birthday, we’re a little bit different over here =) […]
Today is Remembrance Day. The date marks the anniversary of the armistice that ended WW1. Every year, at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month, the people of Australia take a minute of silence to remember those who suffered or died in war & armed conflict. This year is the 95th anniversary of […]
Yesterday, Duchess Silk (Facebook, Model Mayhem) & I had booked in a tea drinking day to compensate for my injury caused stir craziness. While I’m finally beginning to be less slow moving due to my back – it’s healing up well, hurrah!! – I’m currently undergoing treatment for my left knee because my kneecap is […]
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 […]
I thought it was high time that I got around to creating a FAQ. Originally I was only going to put it on my Facebook Page, but I decided it was probably a very useful thing to add here so that I never lose it. Especially considering how often Facebook alter things & remove content […]
