iPhriday – Contemplating Life and Eternity
I have started taking a different route to work lately and I have discovered this bicycle rack with this same sign attached. It kind of makes you wonder which would be the worst eternal predicament – stuck in traffic, stuck on a bicycle or stuck trudging along the same old footpath. Which would you choose?…

Mid-Summer Portrait 3
As soon as this baby arrived at the Midsummer Faerie Rade, the family was swamped with photographers. Who could blame them? How cute is she?! 😍 x desleyjane

Melbourne Street Art 2
Some more shots from my walk through Melbourne’s famous laneways. I would have liked to have caught the chef looking at me, but I like the framing here anyway. I also enjoyed seeing some of the “words” within the graffiti as well. x desleyjane

Mid-Summer Portrait 2
Most of the Rade-goers went all out with their costumes and make-up and this young lady also went out of her way to pose for us. I really loved editing the above black and white portrait, but I also love the dress, so thought I’d show you a colour shot as well. Again, I…

Mid-Summer Portrait 1
These portraits were taken at the Midsummer Faerie Rade in Melbourne in 2016 (a couple of weekends ago). Taken with my Olympus OMD EM5 with the 45mm portrait lens (90mm equivalent). Here’s another shot in colour, so you can better view her intricate makeup: Most people at the Rade were dressed in costume and were…

Rainy Day Optimism
One of things I love about my new apartment in Melbourne is the terrace off my living area. It’s a very large tiled space which overlooks the east side of the city. I have plans for it, but a few days after I moved in, I hurt my back and two weeks later it hasn’t…

Melbourne Street Art 1
I am settling in to my new city and what an intriguing and colourful city it is. I’ve been here many times before as a visitor, but it’s even more amazing as a resident. Recently, Michelle from This Melbourne Life presented “3 of the best … Laneways in Melbourne“, filling in for me as…

Break in Transmission
Some of you may have noticed that I have been somewhat absent from the land of blogging of late. It breaks my heart a little bit, because it’s always my favourite thing to do – writing posts with photos that I’ve painstakingly captured and edited, reading posts from my wonderful blogging friends and mostly reading…

Short Shoot in Melbourne
Last week I visited Melbourne for a day trip. I left my home at 5am, worked all day, then flew out at 8pm, arriving back at my home at 11:30pm. I knew I would have a couple of hours before my flight home so I took my trusty Olympus OMD EM5 with my 17mm (35mm equivalent)…

Time Well Spent
This is a slightly different post for me. I don’t usually share these types of photos but I wanted to show you what I’ve been up to lately. As most of you know, I’ve been away for two weeks. I spent the first week in Lorne (which I’ve mentioned previously) and the second in Melbourne. It was…

Melbourne Food – Yum!
I was on a flight recently where the captain advised that it was a fully air-conditioned flight and we should make sure to keep all the doors and windows closed – LOL. Here are a couple of photos from this current trip to Melbourne. We went to two of my favourite restaurants while I was…
