The Sydney Trip - PART I

I have now started this blog (yes I'm terrible - i always change my mind) as it's not connected to my client one. And Emerson's blog so I can be more personal on this one. And not have clients read it - which suits me better.

SO... part one of the Sydney trip.
I went to Sydney with a goal. Well several goals!! This post is about finding one!

I arrived at 8am at Circular Quay, and set out on my "rocks" plan. Years ago I visited Sydney with Mary & my father, and when going for lunch I spotted the place they had film "playing beatie bow" - a book I read in Primary School. It was an awesome location, so this trip I wanted to go back and do a photo series of the place.


But on the way I got SERIOUSLY lost! Here I was wondering around The Rocks with about 15kg's on my back, and seriously tired by 930am.

I walked past Sydney's oldest pub and seriously thought about it - but it was full of men, and I didn't feel confident enough.




I then found myself BACK at Circular Quay, so almost gave up. But i REALLY wanted to do this series, so pulled out the map, called dad to see if he thought it was the place I found on the map, thought about getting a cab there.. then decided no... I'd brave the walk (again).
This time I made it. This post is some of the images I got along the way.







I VOW


To use this blog more. I've wanted one for myself for so long. I have a client's blog, one for Emerson - I felt left out! So here I am, after so much dramas with the computer and the internet and I VOW to blog more!
Even if no one reads it! LOL
Got a phone call today that lucky me might get to go to Brisbane the first weekend of September to help some friends set up their new shop... SO EXCITED. Does mean hours behind the sewing machine. But hey - IT'S BRISBANE! Three days away! Wonder if I'll be allowed to sleep in??? Must ask that - Mully will I get a sleep in??

Set fire to the...

"Your words in my memory

are like music to me

And miles from where you are

I lay down on the cold ground and I

Pray that something picks me up

And sets me down in your warm arms

After I have travelled so far......

The last place we left off.."


words: Lightbody

A Realm Beyond

A journey into creativity.

That's what this blog is about.
