SALE

This is the type of news I normally reserve for my Facebook crowd, but since there’s only a month left on the sale that I announced there in January, I thought I should share it here as well.

Promo prices are available on all of my sessions booked until 30 April, which also includes private one-on-one photography classes that (until now) I’ve only advertised there. Sessions don’t need to take place before the end of April – only booking and your deposit paid by then. Sessions can take place until the end of 2013.

I will be in Canada (Victoria, Vancouver, Kamloops and Calgary) in June and July this summer, so if you want to reserve a session around any of those areas, book early so I can work it into my trip!

Mumbai | Maharashtra

This post is a bit like my processing style at the moment – unplanned and nonsensical but DONE.

I set out on a mission to process the backlog of files that have been jamming up my internal hard drive for about a year. It turns out that running super slow software on a computer with about ten GB of space left is almost impossible. I normally work pretty chronologically, but I’ve been processing about eight sets simultaneously and I’m not sure when the last time I left the house was. I managed to finish everything up until the about a month ago, and will be sharing a few more short sets that hadn’t really fit in anywhere else, but still deserve a place up here. I almost didn’t bother processing or posting these photos, but I know I’d have to keep thinking about them not being finished if I didn’t.

Normally I like to make posts in a narrative style, which this one doesn’t have in any perceivable way. It turns out that that’s exactly how this weekend in Mumbai went, though! Our plans changed at at least once or twice per taxi ride on our way to wherever, so we ended up not exactly doing anything, but having loads of fun doing it.

Will get back to the Java posts soon. The best part is coming up!

Bali | Pemuteran

A short and sweet post from North West Bali, and alone time with Kris (hi Kris!)

I’ve never been to the north coast, and since we came over land from Java and arrived in the evening, spent 2 or 3 hours hoping a bus would fill up and take us somewhere (which it didn’t so we just chilled in the bus station until it got dark and we were starving to death), Pemuteran, just outside the West Bali National Park, seemed like an excellent place to relax for a couple of days.

The place we stayed – Jubawa Homestay – was perfect. Really nice place and the off-season price was amazingly cheap – USD25.00 for the room, breakfast and dinner for the two of us. Diving was pretty cheap too. There were some pretty nice wall dives around the park, if that’s your thing, although not a whole lot of creatures really. Pemuteran has a few hotels, but is pretty much just a fishing village along the main Northern road, and is WAY quieter than anywhere else I’ve been in Bali. A perfect place for a mid-travelling holiday!

If you haven’t “liked” my facebook page yet, please drop by, like it, and say hi for more news-y updates and some fun stuff I’ve been up to. I know there are a lot of regular vistors to this page, and would be great to get to know you guys!

Central Java | Dieng Plateau

Land of potatoes and volcanoes.

So it turns out that Java only really starts getting interested once you hit the mountains. A few people had recommended I check out Dieng, but nobody really seemed to know much about it. It was pretty much the best surprise of the whole trip. The whole area was stunning. It didn’t seem like there was anywhere to stay leading up to Dieng itself, but the road from Wonosobo past Dieng was gorgeous. So many great views of volcanoes and hills covered in fields. Definitely somewhere I’d go back to, but probably try to hire a motorbike in Wonosobo and head out early early in the morning to catch sunrise over the mountains, so I could see more of the whole area.

Dieng itself was shockingly cold. I arrived in the pouring rain and was totally unprepared for the cold. I slept with 3 blankets, wearing everything I brought with me and was shivering uncontrollably. The nice thing about being there in low season was that I had an entire house to myself. There were actually lots of people visiting for the weekend I was up there, but they really only came out mid morning once I finished shooting, so it was pretty easy to avoid the crowds around the temples and crater.

Anyways… enough writing. Here are some pictures.

Clubvivre | High Tea & Art Jamming

Clubvivre hosted another original and classy event this weekend that I was fortunate enough to shoot. This time, they paired a ladies-only, champagne high tea with a freestyle painting session at Del Fine Art Studio. Local artist Delphine Bernard led the bubbly-induced abstract art session in her studio (all the art on the walls is hers, btw).

Clubvivre has an awesome selection of public events coming up, each styled by the amazing Maria and Andries and their hand-picked chefs and collaborators. I’m very excited to be a part of them. Stay tuned for more Clubvivre photos, or you could take a wander over to their site and grab your place at one of these brilliant culinary experiences. I recommend the latter.
