bleed

Kodak 400 shot, followed by a small mishap with exposing the whole film. Lost some photos, gained some joy.

Enjoy the beauty of your mistakes.

I was fortunate to meet a beautiful couple from Sweden, Kjell and Stephanie Möller, whilst they were enjoying their honeymoon. We shared dinner, drinks and laughter on a number of occasions, and I offered to do some photos for them to remember this special time in their lives.

Kjell & Stephanie; I hope your honeymoon is a breathtaking experience and your life continues to be filled with lots of great food, drinks and laughter.

acting my age

Been in bed this week ill.

Last week was classic though. Spent a day on the beach hanging out with a lovely Swedish couple and danced with local kids. Was hilarious.

(Note. All parents were present)

(Note 2. Some people's actions have made this world so fucked up I am obligated to mention this)

fully sick

I've been really ill for a couple of days. Starting to feel human again now though.

Here are some pictures I took on a little outing to the market in Nha Trang. I rode a pushbike there, it was ace fun. I love being involved in the orderly chaos!!

lobster anyone?

nha trang

I've moved onto Nha Trang where I will be based for the next few months, teaching English at the Bishop's House Seminarian School.

Nha Trang is vastly different to Ho Chi Minh City, as it is less busy, cleaner and has a general relaxed vibe. Fortunately, its also on the coast. I'm grinning from ear-to-ear.

i've arrived

I landed in Vietnam last night, absolutely exhausted. Though my spirits were lifted immediately by the lovely people I am staying with for the next few days.

Today I spent the morning on the back of a scooter racing around Ho Chi Minh City checking out the sights, sounds and of course smells. It was a blast. (The traffic lights here have count-downs on them for when the lights will change, so effin smart if you ask me).

Didn't understand a single word said at lunch, not too worry, I was far too busy tucking into freshly made spring rolls, noodles, chinese sausage, pho and fruit. My hosts did apologise following the meal, not for the conversation, but for the fact that after lunch we must nap for 2 hours.

So without fear of jumping the gun, I feel its only necessary to announce, I'M HOME!

it pissed down

The crew and I headed to St Kilda for an art exhibition featuring the work of friends Shaun Freeman, Ryan Heywood, Luke Taaffe and Adrian Knott.

It was a rippa evening, though the rain did limit the amount of free beer we could consume as the gallery flooded.

limelight

smile, why not?

I'm getting ready to head off to Vietnam for 3 months on Tuesday. Me and some lads had a few last minute beers in the lair, for it seemed like a rippa excuse.
