Home for the Holidays

APRIL 2012

The following are a collection of photographs taken between December 2011 and March 2012, documenting my summer break. During the time these were taken, I had a great attachment to my home town and was wishing to compile a small treasury of images to take with me when I would return to Sydney where I was studied and now reside. I included images of my bedroom, friends and neighbours, my mother, her workplace and the Eungella Range.

Blue Hush

AUGUST 2011

I spent much of 2011 missing home and my mother and feeling very nostalgic. This particular afternoon was filled, as I recall with a strange feeling of being transported to the Sydney of my childhood and was content to feel quiet and thoughtful.

Darling

JUNE 2011

These photographs were taken shortly after being acquainted with Jo. I was newly back in Sydney and with equal parts fear and spontaneity, I asked her to let me take photos of her with paper flowers on her head, with little confidence that she would allow the ridiculous request (even after showing her the handmade crown). I am now convinced that above any previous or subsequent interaction, it was this that made each a friend in the other's eyes.
