Fitzroy night street art photography walks..

I did mean to publish this blog the minute I got home, but completely forgot about it until I just started looking through my photos.

Last week I got an invite from a good friend of mine, Gina, who was going on a night photography walk around Fitzroy/Collingwood to take some snaps of the amazing street art we all take for granted.

Gina works in film ( Her pilot 'Out of your box' can be found on youtube) and was hosting a show being based on the photographer who takes the walks. 

It was a freezing night when we all set out from the Workers Club on Brunswick St and made out way down to Little Creatures dining hall to get a few shots of the space they have.. From there we made our way through all of the lane ways around the place and got some really great shots, well when I  say 'we' I really mean the photographers that were on the walk. 

It was really exciting walking around places that I pass every day on the way to work, but am oblivious to how lucky we are to have so much artistic expression everywhere we go. 

The photos in this post are all pics I took, so forgive me for them not being great....Photography is something that I have always had a soft spot for, however have never really made a go of it. 

I hope you like them all the same x

It's time for a holiday...Infine!

How horrible is this weather? Wind...Rain...Earthquake.....

Melbourne is definately copping all the bad luck with it at the moment..

Luckily for me, I'm planning a trip to Vietnam, so I'll be leaving you all behind in this cold weather and heading off to the land of beautiful beaches and of course... lots of  tailors..... Exciting stuff!

(Da Nang beach in Vietnam)

So tonight I'm sitting here with the flu, looking at all of the Fall 2011/2012 collection trying to figure out what amazing pieces I'll be getting tailored while I'm there......

I think first on the list to get made will  be a couple of  Trench Coats, I found some that I am in LOVE with... see below

Loving this Military inspired jacket.... Especially the detailing on the cuffs

The great thing about getting everything made for you in Vietnam, is that you give them a picture of what you want, and they tailor it for you....In whatever colour you want..Perfect.

This Trench looks oh so snuggly

The leather detail on this one adds a nice touch.

And of course, what trip to a tailor would be complete without getting a few suits made, Im thinking I'll stick to the basics as far as colour is concerned, so I'll get 1 Navy Blue, 1 Black, 1 Charcoal and 1 Pinstripe, Thank you very much.

So thats pretty much were Im at with everything at the moment, feeling horrible on the couch, but excited for what the next few months will bring... 

Hope everyones well
