Riverfire 07

A little story of a party divided by a river, food and cheer to come but until them some photos. I have so many photos from the last couple of weeks to post (heaps from Melbourne, the farm etc etc)

We weren’t just looking at the fireworks this year. Mum, Georgie and I were in the fireworks. I needed the whole 12mm to take photos of the fireworks 😀

St Kilda

St Kilda is a suburb of Melbourne that most people know about, it has just been one of those places that has featured heavily in the Australian Pop Culture of the last X years. I hadn’t planned on going there on my trip to Melbourne but I was in Prahran and decided it was just down the road so I may as well and what a fun time I had.

From walking past Luna Park, having these two old men show me the penguins roosting in the St Kilda Pier breakwater, watching the Palais theatre get set up for the John Butler Trio show that night or walking past the Espy Hotel

working girl

Well I have now done two (2) full days work and I am learning a fair bit though in this beginning stage I spend a fair bit of time straightening my phone/keyboard/in tray/etc. Getting to know the people and more importantly the various voices of those who ring the office. I did a stationary order this morning 🙂

I need to do some clothes shopping as my wardrobe isn’t exactly directed towards smart office casual but more of the jeans and threadless tee variety. I picked a shirt and two skirts in Melbourne but need to get some more shirts.

Here a few more Melbourne photos as well. I am slowly, slowly, slowly getting through them but it is taking longer now as I am not exactly home during the day am I?

12mm

12mm goodness

Yes, that would be 12mm from my door looking into my room which needs some tidying up. Even more of a yes would be that I have a new camera. A Canon 5D. And what I love the most about it is that is a full frame camera opposed to the APS-C or 1.6x frame on the 350D. My 12mm on the 350d gives the rough equivalent of a 20mm lens on the 5D. Big difference. Oh I love my 5D, it was love at first touch.
