What's up

Our view, the ocean (every time...sorry), beers, Alex's infamous Toyota Cresida, barefoot adventures, sunrise, setting up a Christmas tree (a real nice smelling one), native flowering gum (my favourite!), boys and meat, meat, brisket, Tim the texas smoke man, boys, spearfishing, Boat Harbour, a party on our balcony, the best new years eve yet, squid jigs, last light, my man catches dinner...and cooks it and is just all round my favourite person to spend the summer (/my life) with. That's what's been up in Cronulla these past couple of months.

Kinfolk Gathering Sydney

1. Wabi-sabi (侘寂 ^? ) represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete".

Was absolutely over the moon excited to be asked to photograph the second Kinfolk Gathering of 2014, a messy meal. Based on the concept of wabi sabi we entered in to a breezy, warm, light filled, textured, top floor space that had you wanting to take your shoes off from the get go - have a glass of wine, find a cushion, a new friend and really settle in...so that's exactly what everyone did. 

Thank you to the most beautiful hosts for ushering us into this kind of space and pace on a Saturday afternoon. For themes sake I'm sorry to say, it was perfect.

Mornings

Some mornings you just wake up more hungry for adventure than others. So I got up, had a bath and came to my computer to look for something. I quickly found myself taking an early morning walk around Seminyak and it seems a couple of hours have slipped off the clock but I'm now ready (rather than restless) to start this day.
