With just a few days until the next year starts, I decided to put together a post of a 2019 Retrospective. Below is the best of 2019.
Yesterday I was out of ideas and decided to visit the Melbourne Zoo again. As a member, I don’t pay entry, so I decided it was a cheap option. I spend about 2 1/2 hours walking around the animals and photographing. I went right after lunch, and the sun and heat made most predators -…
Yesterday the day was beautiful, so my partner and I went plane spotting. It had been over a year since the last time we went plane spotting. This time we were a lot more focused, we knew the ‘good spot’ to take photos. I took my Big Bertha lens (the Sigma 150-600mm) so that I…
Another year passes, and another trip to Falls Creek. This year I didn’t ski, due to financial restrictions: Dean (my partner) and I were saving for a house. Having said that, since the cabin had already been paid for, we decided to join in the fun and have a good time with family. As a…
Yesterday I finally started my project/photographic essay: Joy. I started with a friend who I see every day: Hristijana. She is a wonderful human being with an energy that can turn anyone’s bad vibes into a great mood. When I decided to do Joy, she was one of the first people I thought of to…
Yesterday I finally photographed my friend Cintia. She and I had been organizing for me to photograph her for a while and our schedules never really matched. Yesterday it finally happened! We met at Carlton Gardens, which I felt was somewhere were we would have a lot of photography options. The Royal Exhibition building, which…
Now that I’ve posted all the related material, thoughts and lessons learned, I can now post the photos gilt free. Also, I wanted to get the post done as quickly as possible and take my time to edit the photos. And that’s exactly what I did. So here are the ones I considered came out…
During my week off, that spanned from Easter all the way to the following Sunday, I was able to do an “impromptu” photo shoot with my friend Lucas. I thought he was just a friend reaching out to help, and it was, but I later, during the session, discovered that he has done modelling before.…
Easter weekend was great. Even though the house was ‘slightly’ less fancy than the one from last year, it was still a great house. The most important thing was that it fit everyone that was going on the trip, this year we had a bigger party at the house: 3 couples, 1 single adult and…
Dean and I decided to watch a movie and then take photos in the city on the weekend. I wasn’t very inspired on the day, I probably took only 170 photos. Dean, on the other hand, using my D3300, took approximately 350 photos. Twice (!!!) as much as I did. He is still learning how…
Something went wrong. Please refresh the page and/or try again.
I have, mostly, finished editing the photos. Some of them did not come out great when I printed, and so I will have to work on them further. The others are great. Below is a bit of the photos that I have selected from all the ones that made it. The three photos I have…
Last night we ate at a very ‘safe’ restaurant. The food was good, but they only made really easy to please/safe cuts of meat type of meals. As an example: I had an eye fillet with potatoes, asparagus on its jus and Dean had a sweet massaman type curry. All too safe. The wine was…
Day 2 of the trip started well. Had a great filtered coffee (batch brew) and breakfast at Larder. Beautiful Ethiopian beans and great take on Eggs Benedict (with peas, bacon AND pork and a hash brown). I would definitely come here again. Maybe not on this trip, as it would be interesting to get to…
I have to say, Daylesford is beautiful. Today we went to Wombat Hill Gardens (with brunch) and then to the Daylesford Lake. Brunch was good, I had a BLAT (BLT + Avocado on bagel with a fried egg). To accompany, an expresso martini. The lake was beautiful and we had lunch on deck… where I…
Yesterday, Dean and I went to Yarraville to look at a house (we’re looking to buy). On the way back home, we took a detour to pick up his bike. I dropped him off where he left his bike (long story) and started driving back. The GPS was a bit confused as to which direction…
In 2019 I spent half of the weekends of the year taking photos of my beautiful chickens Sophia and Victoria. Their lives were taken too soo by a hungry fox and my 52 weeks of chickens became only 21. In their memory, I share with you all 21 weeks.
