i'm not going to say merry christmas because i feel it's been overdone.
this is a bit of a huge post for my best friend sam who spent christmas over in india (and anyone else who is interested in a polish/australian christmas). i don't think i've been so jealous of anyone. ever.
anyway sam, this is my christmas and these photos are for you to have some feel of a homely christmas. i think.
anyway enjoy!

on other news. I GOT OFFERED A PLACE AT RMIT.
my life can officially end now.

a bit of fun shooting photos of sheridan for alexandra hacket's fashion portfolio.
excuse the quality of these. what can i say? cannons suck.

last night was my first attempt at 'non-artistic party photography'. with a flash gun and everything! i realised a lot about myself. mainly that i'm way to awkward to go up to a group of people i don't know and ask if they could 'all please look this way'. so i managed to find a way around that. mainly just jim in when friends are posing for friends.
weeeee!

i'll never forget what i can't remember.
this is one of my best friends faith. she used to live in a share house full of amazing people. now she still lives in that share house, but the amazing people are gone and her farther moved in instead. awh :)

all deception, all deception from you.
tonight is a real Beach House/Mice Parade kind of night. i've been looking through photos that i took while still too busy with exams to actually put to any use. i'm considering making this blog a little more intimate.
humm..
this is chris and sean. twins, can you tell?

hello!
so i've finished. completed the ib. for those of you who don't appreciate that statement hop off and fetch yourself an equivalent education. there's not much that compares for a secondary student.
well done to all my peers that also finished in the november exams!
so this means that i'm back and posting again. it would help if i'd been taking some decent photos recently but unfortunately that's not the case at the moment but i'm working on it boys, don't give up on me yet.
i recently returned from a 10 day trip to melbourne. here are two photos of the sweetest little house in the cbd.


and ofcourse the street art, this is obviously a joke of a specimen, but it made us all giggle.

and the giggling boy himself.

Adieu to disappointment and spleen. What are men to rocks and mountains?

i have 2 subjects, 5 exams and 5 days left until i can sit outside on my ass and read a book without feeling as if i should be studying.
i cannot wait.
also; today is the 7th of the 11th. so hurry up and go get your free slurpee!

my room at sunset.

i really have nothing to post at the moment unless someone is keen to see photos of poor johnny struggling to hold onto reality on the coffee table at the dancing bean.
but i know no one wants to have to witness that.

so for now, have a listen to this absolutely rocking band - Warpaint.
they're playing in brisbane on the 4th feb (MY BIRTHDAY) at the laneway festival so everyone should come and enjoy them, but most importantly celebrate my 18th birthday with me!

dare i say they're the next xx?

One month today until I graduate high school.
Bravo!
