Monthly Archives: February 2009 I know I know, I’ve aleady put up a post on this shoot – but today I’m revisiting it because I’ve been thinking about the Family Stories concept I’m developing, and how to best illustrate the value of it. I photographed this family in 2006, then I revisted them (in fact almost three years later) and we had…

I’ve just come home from seeing ‘The House of Bernarda Alba’, a play written by Federico Garcia Lorca in 1936 months before his execution. It tells the story of 5 sisters imprisioned by their mother for 8 years of mourning for their dead father in a small Andalusian village in Spain.

One of the winemakers from Clonakilla was producing wines under the label ‘Ravenswood’ – not sure if he still is, I’ll have to go and ask them about it at Vintage Cellars. I bought a bottle in Sydney a few years ago and it was lovely (and about $25, making it slightly more affordable!) Lovely pictures. This week I went along to the swimming lesson of a little one called Lauren, with her entire family in tow. Dad in the pool, Mum poolside with little one #2 looking on with interest.
