  • Beautiful Brisbane – November 2015 (monochrome)

    Here is another gallery for the Cardinal’s Changing Seasons Event. My first gallery of colour shots can be seen here. There’s something about the black and white ones that really appeals to me, particularly shots with people and shots at night. As usual, Olympus OMD EM5 with 17mm or 60mm lens, handheld, wandering my city,…

  • Treat not Trick

    For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Treat! It’s always a treat to go out for drinks, dinner, catch ups with friends. I caught this guy hard at work while I was sipping on my Grenache.     I think he was mixing my friend’s Candied Cuban: x desleyjane

    (Extra)ordinary

    This Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge is (Extra)ordinary: Mundane and meaningful objects. Beautiful everyday things. This week, surprise us with something or someone (extra)ordinary. My family stayed at my place for a few days this week as they were moving between their home that they just sold and a rental property in Mackay while they build…

  • An August Sunday in Brisbane

    Brisbane is a beautiful, laid back, comfortable city. We were at the end of Winter when I took thee shots and the temperatures ranged between 12 and 27 degrees Celsius this week. Fabulous. A couple of weekends ago, two of my best friends and I went out for the day. We had a loose plan of having…

  • Final Call

    She knew she must look a fright. It was evening and yet she was walking through the airport wishing that her huge sunglasses would cover her entire face. Or at least more of her swollen and flushed cheeks. The tears wouldn’t stop. She’d been fine when they’d said goodbye (well maybe not fine, maybe just…

  • Reading

    This young lady was totally immersed in her book, catching some rays on a Winter’s afternoon. I wonder what she’s reading… Any guesses? From my recent Changing Seasons shoot at Southbank in Brisbane. Submitting this photo to Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. x desleyjane

  • Listening

    This guy was enjoying the sunshine, listening to his tunes. Whaddya reckon? Shania Twain? 80’s Hair Bands? Metallica? David Guetta? From a recent trip to Southbank for my Changing Seasons shoot. For Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic. x desleyjane  

  • Calling

    An interesting place to hang out and make a call. This is a bicycle repair station. While he was here on the phone for about 10 minutes, a couple came up to use the repair station and he was totally oblivious to their presence. They waited about 30 seconds before shaking their heads and leaving.…

  • Loyalty (Eclectic Corner #13.3)

    For Justine’s Eclectic Corner: Loyalty (Quote). I am such a fan of this quote. The people who are loyal to you and who matter most to you, will be supportive of what you say and do. Those who aren’t, you shouldn’t worry about them. Most recently,this quote can be found in Jessie J’s lyrics to…

  • Loyalty (Eclectic Corner #13.1)

    Loyalty – what does that word mean? Can you see it? To me, loyalty is easily visible between my parents. Justine gave us the definition – faithfulness to obligations or commitments. But I think it’s much more than that. Loyalty between loved ones is evident in the way they look at each other, in the…

  • Beginning

      The morning sunlight filtered through the gauzy curtains, the golden glow landing on her bare skin. She was tangled in the white sheets, with an arm thrown back above her head and one foot peeking out from beneath the sheet. She looked peaceful and happy and was in that comforting, warm embrace of heavy…

  • Secret

    She leaned against the railing and stared out at the darkness of the ocean, the waves whipping against the side of the ship, foaming the water so that she could almost make out stripes of white, turquoise and deep, deep blue. She watched the foam disappear from view as the ship slipped through the water…
