    Wanderlust

    Well this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge seems made for me. I am, after all, a frequent flying scientist.  We are asked to share a photo that represents travel and wanderlust. There are two things that I do on planes – one is write and the other is take photos of the clouds. There is something…

  • Pale Pink Tulip on Gold Tray

    Pale Pink Tulip on Gold Tray

    My local grocery store, just a tiny independent one, sometimes has the most gorgeous flowers and they are very inexpensive. Here is some time I a spent with a tulip and a gold tray – much more than five minutes, hence I couldn’t make it a RegularRandom post! I have shared some of these on…

  • Melbourne Graffiti – Brunswick Street, Fitzroy

    Melbourne Graffiti – Brunswick Street, Fitzroy

    We spent some time checking out the street life and street art in Fitzroy last weekend and this is some of what we found. First up, this is Grace cafe, where we had breakfast – I love the contrast of the two walls. Stand at the front and see the serene and angelic faces. Just…

    Five Minutes @ Doughnut Time – RegularRandom

    Sorry I missed RegularRandom last week! I have been working away at a new project and it completely slipped my mind! So a quick summary of what it’s all about: choose an object or scene spend just 5 minutes shooting it, trying to be creative with angles and light and composition post your photos with the…

  • Scientist Spotlight – Professor Kathy Andrews

    Scientist Spotlight – Professor Kathy Andrews

    Professor Kathy Andrews was the first person I had the pleasure of photographing during the Griffith Uni photo shoot. I was a little nervous since there wasn’t a lot of direction about what was required, except for the new Griffith tagline #beremarkable Kathy lives up to that tagline – she is a remarkable woman *spoiler…

  • Regular Random – Five minutes with a Posy Jar

    Regular Random – Five minutes with a Posy Jar

    I picked up this stunning Posy Jar from a florist (Art Stems on Lygon) near me and spent a very long time photographing it inside my pop up studio. For this weeks #RegularRandom I chose a 5 minute window of shots for this post. If you’d like to join in, here’s what we do: choose…

  • Scientist Spotlight – Professor Jenny Martin

    Scientist Spotlight – Professor Jenny Martin

    Professor Jenny Martin was appointed Director of the Griffith Institute for Drug Discovery (GRIDD) in 2016. At that time, it was called The Eskitis Institute and I worked there from 2000 – 2005. Being an alumni and a photographer, Jenny asked me to photograph the leadership team and students for the rebranding of the Institute…

  • Client Shoot – Fashion Model – Northcote

    Client Shoot – Fashion Model – Northcote

    Location 4 for the TheaTheos shoot was the little suburb of Northcote in Melbourne. This was after lunch, and after a session in the studio where we avoided the sunniest part of the day. I loved the graffiti and wall art here. Just stunning and great colours to work with. Location 1 : Greek Orthodox…

  • RegularRandom – Five Minutes with Pens

    RegularRandom – Five Minutes with Pens

    I’m a stationery addict. There I said it. There’s comfort in knowing that I’m not alone. For this week’s #RegularRandom I decided to spend 5 minutes with my new Zebra Mildliners – (from http://www.bunbougu.com.au) these are seriously cool Japanese pens. I don’t know why Japan has such awesome stationery, but there it is. It is…

  • The Huangpu River View

    The Huangpu River View

    I was in Shanghai last week. It’s such a long flight, it seems so silly to go for such a short time. I left Melbourne on Tuesday morning at 8am and arrived in Shanghai Tuesday night at 10pm Melbourne time – so that’s 14 hours of travel. I spent Wednesday to Friday in a sales meeting…
