Shooting the breeze

 

It was smooth and smokey and had the most soul of a launch party I've been to in some time. The invite that came couriered to my door, an oversized glass jar of home made pickles, should have been a good indicator of this with it's promise of shooting the breeze with David Chang (read Momofuku), Andrew Levins (The Dip),  good ol' fashioned conversation, PLENTY of whiskey and one of my favourite Sydney pub converts - The Carrington to house the shenanigans. 

Highlights: house smoked lavendar cola, pork ribs glazed with bourbon BBQ sauce, the calamari sliders, Levins telling stories of food bloggers complaining of the poor light (for shooting) in The Dip aaannnd probably a few more pork ribs glazed with bourbon BBQ sauce.

Welcome to

 

My Nanna remembers it fondly, 1975, staying in basic but beautiful beach bures, soaking up the sunshine and all the activities an island could have to offer . Mum, 2006, in all of it's luxe glory....yet a time she looks back on with turbulent emotion for the not so simple heartbreak which very shortly followed her trip. 

The whole family, November 2012!!!!!!! Hayman; I couldn't be more ready for you. May the next 11 days fly by.

These postcards were then...stay tuned for now through my lens.

I have admired every LP33.3 collection to date and the bodies that can pull off their grownup feminine shapes - my little sister being one of them damm her  - with equal parts admiration and jealousy...so as I walked into the studio on that first Monday of Spring to be greeted by racks of grey marle jumpers (with the finest most beautiful metallic Chantilly lace detailing, of course), a skater style dress (maybe even two!), a printed shirt and the perfect pair of dress up/down pants scattered amongst the signature LP staples I was more than a little thrilled.  

My pictures always seem to speak better than I can type at midnight so go ahead and scroll back up to the top and read them all over again. How saucy is Eva? So saucy. A Jessica Rabbit type minx who rocks a big wool, cashmere, felt gown like no one I've ever seen before. 

Keep your eyes peeled for the lookbook to come....

Same but different. Can you feel it? It can't be faked. A few favourites from an odd roll of 35mm shot on that day in the Blue Mountains a couple of months back.

Trying to figure out a better blog schedule in amongst the jumble that is my diary. I thought it was about priorities but sometimes it is reduced to something less considered than that even, necessities perhaps? Where you cannot think you just have to do and get done.  Ho hum. Don't leave! Tell me how life is?
