Mark Rothko. There's a special kind of beauty we can salvage from our mistakes. Even when we accidentally open up our first Lomo roll and expose a frame or four. Once again, many thanks to Liss of Daydream Lily for the very kind loan of her Lomo LC-A. Many, many more photos to come! The last few mo...

I have no idea where this photo was taken, or even which year, although it's not too difficult to figure out that it was probably around the holiday season (unless someone got really, really lazy - it was a tall tree!) I have many more photos to share with you, including some I took at the StyleMilk...

Nothing mind-blowing or particularly inspiring about today's post, but I'm still excited about my new camera so I'm going to inflict some snapshots upon you!

Blue Skies and Rain

It seems only fitting that I share one of my old photographs before I share any new ones. This was taken at my first apartment in Sydney; a happy home for over two years, yet a photograph that nonetheless captures a lot of the melancholy that occured there and since. I miss that wall.
