(never have I cried and snotted so much at a wedding)

(I feel truly honoured to have witnessed the expression and commitment of such true love)

I got to be lomographer for their super taranta party!! It was so much fun, and this is my favourite polaroid shot of the day.

I’ll share more film photos once I have them all processed.

Wouldn’t that be an awesome business? Wedding Lomographer.

reflections

90/366

Today I travelled back to a place I haven’t been since the end of 2004.

The train ride from Central Station in Sydney to Gosford on the Central Coast of NSW brought back so many memories. Ones I had forgotten were even in my head.

Boyfriend(s) (yes, plural), school friends, my first cigarette, my first post-first-cigarette-paranoia*, my first job working in a hairdressing salon earning less than $6 an hour (Terrible.), bad fashion trends, and just generally figuring out what kind of person I was, and who I wanted to be.

A completely melancholic feeling washed over me. I wanted to cry my face off when I got off the train at my old station. And still I don’t really understand why, or what made me feel such a pit in my gut. In retrospect, I feel sorry for my poor sister who had to stand with me on the train station platform, as I gasped and stood eyes wide and teary for no apparent reason. I suspect she appeared more as though she were my carer than anything else.

My reason for visiting this place is to attend the wedding of a very dear friend. A friend that, for a few years, I had forgotten just how dear she was. You know what I’ve been learning over the past year?

Relationships are fucking precious.

If you fit with somebody, hold onto that for dear life.

I took this beautiful photograph from the backyard of the people my sister and I stayed with for the wedding. Isn’t that milky view just breathtaking??

Gah.

*No, I don’t smoke now. It was just one cigarette. Quit your judgin’.

Fact: I always leave packing to the very last second.

This is my attempt at picking an outfit for the wedding in Sydney that I’m going to attend – it is 1am. I have a flight in 5 hours.

Aah, it’ll be nothing that a strong coffee and a bit of excitement can’t fix!

I was on my way to uni to hand in a portfolio of my art during a work break, and I noticed this funny tree on top of the building. Every time I see it, I tell myself I’ll take a photo next time.

Well, today I actually got around to doing it.

I think he looks like a pretty rad fellow, with his spiky hair.

In lieu of an upcoming trip to Sydney with my sister for a beautiful friend’s wedding, I’m quite proud to say that I have been doing a lot of study in my free time. My daily routine has become something like this:

wake, go to work, get home, study, sleep, wake, go to work, get home, study, procrastinate on instagram, sleep… etc. etc.

I had completed three days in this horrendous cycle before I realised how completely essential study snacks were.

So, here I am.

Jelly Bellys, and a fabulously coloured Chicago referencing guide.

There you have it.
