Back in Melbourne

I just got back tonight from a whirlwind three week trip in Canberra. I worked on a recipe book that serves as a tribute to an Italian couple (no longer with us) who left an extraordinary legacy in the form of authentic recipes. I documented a gorgeous family story for a family I have worked…

Christmas Day 2012

Merry Christmas!! Yes today is a day off from working, but you know me, it’s hard to put the camera down. I kept it by my side this year, for most of the day and I thought I’d post a few frames here. In the morning I saw my sister, brother-in-law and their children. In…

Brilliant pictures and an extremely inspiring place. My fav one: the one with an armchair. If I were to shoot a movie, it would be there.

Viktoria Park

A glorious afternoon/late evening was spent this week with my group at Viktoria Park in Kreuzberg. It’s one of the higher places in Berlin so once you’re up there you get a great view over the city. It’s been raining a lot here, so we felt rather blessed that the heavens behaved.  Another great evening…
