Look at that colour saturation! ISO 800 = crazy.
Cardigan Street, Melbourne.

My first experiment with the Holga. It's a fresh change after all the 'postcard' photos that I've been doing.
Balcony of 313A, Melbourne.

My first time here. Maybe I've grown up, but it seemed awfully boring. 30 dollars to have rides is an obvious rip off.
Lunar Park, St Kilda. Melbourne.

Labrats.
9.2.24. RMIT, Melbourne.

A chink of 2006 final year students of Advertising - Creative.
My first test shots of the Holga with Polaroid, which the films will be discontinued end of the year. Bleh x 28457.

The pharmacist, tourist, engineer, and architect.
A bridge, at St Kilda. Melbourne.

The colour reminds me of one of my 'fighting' fish as a kid.
BBQ trip at Milford Sound, New Zealand.

Jetstar promoting their cheap flights to Hawaii. OoOoOh.
State Library, Melbourne.

One of those stop overs in between the 10 hour bus ride from Christchurch to Queenstown.
Moo-moo land.

I like overlooking from tall towers. Makes me feel inspired.
Auckland Tower, New Zealand.

I hate overlooking from tall towers. 5 minutes later you feel insignificant.
Auckland Tower, New Zealand.

Look at them sexy pillars.
National Gallery, London.

No, I didn't do any of that.
Auckland, New Zealand.

Single most important thing about portraits: Always make sure the eyes are in focus. The rest is up to you to explore.
Kokoro Miyake, Auckland Tower.

Before you think 'how cute!' I have to say that the kid's actually quite ugly. That's why I chose not to show her face.
Royal Exhibition Building, Melbourne.

The Shibuya of London I guess.
Regent Street.

I'll alway curse to this perfect scenery.
On the way to Queenstown, New Zealand.

Queenstown, New Zealand.

The amount of tourists waiting merely for the change of guards was ridiculous. I went off after taking the photo. I'm not gonna wrestle with some Chinese tourists just to see guards exchanging post.
Buckingham Palace, London.

The crowd waiting for Johnny Depp and co. for the 6.30pm premiere for POTC2. It was 1pm.
Leicester Square, London.

Is it me, or Lucinda's never changed since this picture from 2004?
JCR, International House. Melbourne.

James in front of his house. Erm, forgotten the place's name.
45 minutes train + 5 minutes car from London.

Looks like a Peter Stuyvesant ad went wrong.
Regent Street, London.

I've yet to actually see the exhibition. Opens till 9pm on Wednesdays.
National Gallery Victoria, Melbourne.

I said 'Holy Shit' out loud upon seeing this. Apparently they're exact replicas of pillars from the Roman Empire period.
Victoria & Albert Museum, London.

This is the closest I could get to the London Eye because I refused to queue for it under the fucking hot sun.

This photo looks like a typical 'feel good' post card but you have no idea how scorching hot it was to be there.
Big Ben across Thames, London.

I remember having a tough time taking this picture because of the tourists. Also it was about to rain.
Hyde Park, Sydney.

Reminds me of that Patch Adam movie of Robin Williams. 'Who masturbated yesterday?' 'Me! Me! Me!'
Parliament House. London.

See that air balloon camp thingy at the left? That building's Old Billingsgate, where the D&AD award ceremony was held.
Thames River. London.

There's something dark about this picture that I like.
Causeway Lane(Between Bourke & Lt. Collin). Melbourne.

If you stare long enough it's like looking into a lizard's eye.
Ceiling of National Gallery. London.

Although I had to come here for my first architectural assignment, I still like this place. Maybe it's because I never came back since then.
Shrine of Remembrance, Melbourne.

First time I met up with Kyoko since 2004. Appearing on the RMIT website had its benefits after all.
RMIT, Melbourne.

Tokyo had its heaviest snow the day before I left Japan.
Musashi-kosugi.

I still can't get what made the blue spot. But this is actually one of my favourites. Fine, coz there's a girl in it.
An arcade or a mall. Kyoto.

Makes me wanna go 'ooommmmmm' for a long time.
Ryoanji, Kyoto.

A real geisha. People tell me that it's rare to see one of these nowadays. I saw 3 on the night itself.
Gion, Kyoto.

Imagine after getting off the plane, taking the subway for an hour, and the first thing you see is this. My legs were shaking.
Shibuya, Tokyo.

It looks like a big maze but it's not.
It's just a corner to the entrance of Ginkakuji. Kyoto.

This is a a small buffer to the vast invasion of my Japan trip photos. I'm running out of photos to upload here...
Public purse, Bourke Street. Melbourne.

Just some random flowers. Really.
Garden near Ryoanji, Kyoto.

The owner of the noodle shop said it'd look super fantastic during spring, knowing that it was NOT spring when I was there.
Path of Philosophy, Kyoto.

Guy trimming Japanese cupcakes.
So they invented this machine to make a cupcake in 2.34 seconds but they couldn't make the machine to trim the cakes?
That arcade in Kyoto.

Somehow I think you won't suspect a thing if I were to say that this photo's taken in the 70's.
On the way to Osaka Cho.

Just to show you that not all my photos turned out well. This was the only Tokyo night shot I had, and it's screwed all right.
Although some people did scream 'cool!' before I could explain. I guess, it has its own wrongful appeal?

Godzilla's wristwatch.
Shibuya, Tokyo.

If you turn this upside down, it's as if the garden's hanging in the air. As if someone pushed the pause button.
Garden at Ryoanji, Kyoto.

Would you like a cup of Zen? Sadly, the stone garden was under renovation when I was there. Hence the wall of white cloth. Bet you didn't realise at all hey?
Ryoanji, Kyoto.

I just felt like a school girl taking this photo.
Kyoto, Japan.
