Julia's Party

Photos from Julia's 18th...

The Flowers and the letter box

2007-02-20T19:12:00.000+11:00

My flowers from valentine's, and my letter box...

My ducks

2007-01-10T20:45:00.000+11:00

This photo was taken at my 18th. While there are many photographs of some extremely wonderfully strange attendees at my birthday party, I give you only ducks.

The vanity shots.

Christmas fever has struck home...

2006-11-07T12:57:00.000+11:00

The Christmas decorations are crawling and creeping out progressively throughout the house!

We have angels hanging from the banisters, a fibre optic teddy, a snoring santa, a countdown santa, and a fibre optic musical countdown christmas tree on the buffet, two reindeer on the dining table, two christmas dolls on the TV cabinet, and a snow globe in the kitchen.

This is just the first wave, wait till the second! (which promises to hold glowing snowmen, christmas villages, trains on tracks saying 'all aboard the holiday express!' before breaking into tune, and greenery up banisters with angel lights!)

And then the third, with the tree!

And the fourth with the outdoor lights! (all those twinkling lights and bright stars)

Yes I rather declare, christmas at my house starts early but its all worth it, because it's so so cheery!

Every Beautiful Inch

It's all over.

2006-10-10T00:04:00.000+10:00

More pictures of departure. It's all so random, but lovely.

We say goodbye in glamour.

2006-10-01T14:42:00.000+10:00

These are some pictures from my final day of school, my farewell assembly, the formal dinner etc. They've come from my camera, as well as others. I did a big compilation to get this collection of farewell images, of friends, of loved ones, of sadness and happiness. It is sad to see these moments pass, but I am looking forward to the future.

There are always memories

2006-09-16T22:26:00.000+10:00

How I love holidays.

All the beautiful things...

Many Views from A Single Set of Eyes. Mine.

The Rain

2006-08-30T22:04:00.000+10:00

I love the rain, I love the smell of it, the feel, the taste. I love how it makes the world softly glisten and deeply reflective.

I was walking home and the sun was shining through the watery tree tops, and though when I returned with my camera the sunshine was gone, I still felt compelled to photograph these places. I hope you enjoy a peek into my little suburb.

A peek inside my house... my life...

2006-08-27T19:29:00.000+10:00

Messy

2006-08-20T16:57:00.000+10:00

My room is officially more messy then I can cope with. I need to clean up.

We're random

2006-08-04T14:47:00.000+10:00

Some more random Images... Crazy moments, artistry of Ritchie, Great friends...

Memories...

2006-07-28T17:29:00.000+10:00

Times where I stood still...

Where the world stopped for me...

Where the time was quiet...

And I could hear my own heart beat.

Random Images...

2006-07-12T22:15:00.000+10:00

I'm in a random mood. Random times and moments. Images I liked and moments caught on camera.

ZooSnooze Trip

Piccies from my Biology overnight stay at Taronga zoo:

The Bridge at Dusk while on the ferry over:

Migs and I (Gotta love that hat)
I dunno what this was about, but it looks like their was a hostage situation if Neetu is anything to go by....
The city buildings at night
The gorgeous Mel.

A sexy giraffe!
The giraffes!

Wondering where I went (Part 5)

2006-05-25T23:35:00.000+10:00

In the corner of my room used to lurk a swirl of photographs beginning by my desk and finishing near my door. It consisted of images of places, of people, of dreams and memories.

Some are still up, others are hidden.

Sometimes you don't want to remember or look. You can't crave all of the past....
Sometimes you want to forget.

Sometimes you want to forget her face.

Sometimes you want to forget long gone dreams.

Wondering where I went (Part 4)

2006-05-25T23:31:00.000+10:00

It wasn't that long ago, but it felt an eternity. Once upon a time, I had one piercing, a smile, big bright eyes.

Today I look in the mirror and see the coiled up hair, the tired eyes, my double piercings and worn smile.

I see the devestation of my disorganised mind, the desire to go back, rewind the clock and embrace the positives of my inner self, before the June of last year took everything, even my dignity.

Wondering where I went (Part 3)

2006-05-25T23:29:00.000+10:00

A lone toy on the floor, my raggy bunny looks like she belongs to a baby. Instead she's old, with wooden beaded eyes, floppy white ears, a patterned dress, and never got my primary attention. Now she is a symbol of all the childish instincts, the unseen opportunites, the freedom, the innocence and spiritual matter I lost along the path to growing up.
You never be a little girl again.

Wondering where I went (Part 2)

2006-05-25T23:25:00.000+10:00

A wall of photographs, of the past, stuck up like still frame peeks into the memories of my life. My burning question is, "Why don't we retain that natural inquisitivity, that natural instinct for games, for the magical pretend world of children's fantasies...?"
Family holidays, small children, the loved and lost, the silly and the ridiculous... It was all so long ago.

Wondering where I went (Part 1)

2006-05-25T23:02:00.000+10:00

The first of a series of photographs wondering about where my childhood, my heart, and my sense of wonder went...

The Dog was all alone....

....She ate all the people.

This image was a gift from Melsa, to commerate the day I got my new puppy, Bobbles. Life was simpler and easier then. All I had to worry about was carrying a puppy home from the pet store, the tiny bundle with soft ears and fur. On that day I had ringlets and my hair was it's shortest. I had a scarf, a white shirt, a bottle green skirt and black stockings on.

WORDS

2006-05-22T21:38:00.000+10:00

My plan for my major work on my white board, a little skewed

It's like it's not real...

2006-05-17T22:21:00.000+10:00

...I've stepped into the imaginary world.

(Info.... This picture I took on the particularily painful walk at Thredbo over the holidays. The water was striking. I really liked it. The only alteration I've made to this picture is using Kodak Easy Share and playing with the effects to make it 'cartoon' in style.)

Sunny mornings.

2006-05-13T22:43:00.000+10:00

I wish to wake up and feel this again. It's been cold so long.

FLOATING

2006-05-13T22:34:00.000+10:00

I wish I was high up there, not down here below.

My dearest and Nee2.

2006-04-10T23:04:00.000+10:00

I've been looking at this photo a lot tonight.

I'm very sad and I find comfort in friendly faces.

My sister took this photo.

I don't know what i'd do without Mel and Nee2.

They're very good to me.

I love you two.

Wouldn't u know it, I've lost my courage,
isn't that funny, me lost for words...
not that it really matters,
cause i know you know
and you would've told me yourself if u could... 'Tina Arena'

Daydreaming and sunshine...

2006-03-28T23:16:00.000+11:00

Whiling away the hours, in dreams of the future, in the glow of sunlight, in the wisdom of life.

My signature

2006-03-22T22:37:00.000+11:00

Blue Water...

2006-03-22T22:19:00.000+11:00

...Or Blue Glass?

Our grey ocean.

2006-03-19T18:34:00.000+11:00

A Magic Moment.

2006-03-06T16:28:00.000+11:00

Serenity. That's it. I wish I could find it again.

Atop Mt. Wellington, Tasmania

2005-11-29T17:17:00.000+11:00

Now let the day
Just slip away
So the dark night
May watch over you
Nocturne
Though darkness lay
It will give way
When the dark night
Delivers the day

Anywhere is

2005-11-29T17:05:00.000+11:00

I walk to the horizon, and there I find another...

This is Cradle Mountain. A mountain I conquered on my holiday. Isn't it beautiful?

A good peek into Amy's mind

2005-10-24T15:54:00.000+10:00

This top was given to me by my floopy friend Amy, who spends much of her time practising Feng Shui and Aromatherapy. She only wears pastels as she feels they are soft and assist in making you calm. This top is really pale and swishy, and I always feel feminine in it. It is hanging on a coat hanger my Aunt made for me to hang my Bridesmaid's dress for my cousin's wedding on, and it hangs off my chest of drawers in my room so I can admire the top. I don't usually wear it, but like to look at it.

Inquisitive...

2005-10-24T15:42:00.000+10:00

This seagull I photographed simply because I thought it was inquistive, just like us, scurrying across the beach at WineGlass bay.

Tasmania, a place of beauty and sadness...

2005-10-23T12:52:00.000+10:00

This is me on the beach at Wine Glass bay in Tasmania. The day was overcast, and soon after it started to rain, and so I walked along the beach in the rain. It was beautifully cool and surreal. A moment I could think and feel calm. And lonely.

My Ducky...

2005-09-24T22:44:00.000+10:00

This picture I took at the lake in my area, I thought the duck was just pretty. Yes, we have out own private Lake. I actually live in a very new estate, ours being one of the first houses built here, we've been here six years.
Anyway, being fifty metres back from the river and being surrounded by bush and wetlands and our own private lake just invites a million types of wild life. Snakes included. And Froggies. And Birdies and eels and everything. Even feral cats. And foxes. We have a few of those.

Light and Darkness

2005-09-22T01:08:00.000+10:00

Shadows jumpin' all over my walls
some of them big, some of them small -- Arcade Fire.

Candles, burning in my room. I have hundreds at night, I prefer them to a light bulb above me. Bright little pinpricks in the darkness of a catastrophe of paperwork, bundles of clothes, and the stains of dancing makeup and blood from my blisters.

All the Beautiful Things: A New Beginning.

2005-09-19T16:20:00.000+10:00

This, i guess, is what you call my visual diary. i'm going to try and be a good girl and put one up daily, we'll see how that goes...

This picture happens to be of the fairy in my room, she's beautiful, I got her when I was eight.

She used to hang from my roof above me bed, watching over me, but now she's on my chest of drawers, with all my other beautiful things...

Sorry this picture is incredibly blurry.
