String of lights


Such a simple thing is a string of coloured lights, yet they can totally change the mood. This was a string of coloured shades over fairy lights strung up underneath a typical Queenslander house.


Emily turning 24



Say hello to my friend Emily. We have known each other for quite some time. We went to high school together. She's one of my favorite people in the entire world.

One time I saw her attempt to fly. She was atop a bench seat, and she was attempting to convince us all she could fly. She leaped from the seat and she sprained her ankle.

She was about to turn 24 when I took this polaroid.

Stars in the pavement

It is amazing how much people don't see around them. Take for example this star shape that has been worked into the pavers out the front of Capital Hill on the corner of Mary and George Streets, Brisbane. I noticed them wandering around the city one day. Ask anyone from Brisbane if they've seen them, the chances are they haven't.

But why are there stars in the pavement? I am still not sure. Someone told me they thought it was something that was part of an initiative during the Bjelke-Peterson administration. Anyone know anything about these mysterious stars?

Shannon (at work)

This is Shannon. He's a good friend of mine. When he is not wearing smart vests at his job at Jay Jays on the Queen Street Mall, he's the Visual Editor of FourThousand. He can also play viola!

Scarf discard

I walk to work every day from West End to the CBD. And almost always the same route. Nothing much interesting ever really happens outside of the music on my iPod. But this day, as I was walking in I noticed random items of wet clothing laying on the footpath on the Victoria Bridge.

A lady walking about 10 or 15 metres in front of me bent down and picked up a black cardigan and hung it on the railing. As she kept on her way, she also bent down and picked up this green scarf that was also lying on the footpath. She looped it around the hand rail and kept walking.

And what a great subject for a Polaroid.

Zebra

My Zebra rocking horse!

I got him for cheap from Loot Homewares in West End because his tail was broken off. He was reduced from $180 to $60. I couldn't leave him there. So i bought him and took him home to rock till the end of days.

A bit of glue and good as new.
