I found these photos in an old email today

Taken by Niki, a photographer friend back in 2006. Looks like they were taken in Betties Bay area. Russell is in some of them. I especially love the juggling one!

Favourite photographers: Nick Brandt

I love Nick Brandt’s black-and-white photographs of African wildlife. They are evocative, moody and powerful. The animals feel like individuals, each with its own presence and dignity. Without colour, the textures, light and shadows become even more striking: wrinkled skin, pale grass, vast skies. There is something timeless about these images, and often a sadness too—a sense of how magnificent these creatures are, and how much we stand to lose.

Carriageworks Art Fair

Wow, what an absolute feast for the senses!  So much stunning art on display. Xenia and I were in heaven. What made it even more special was that many of artists were there, fronting their works and both Xenia and I had some beautiful connections.
