Adelaide Road Trip
For the two weeks, I’ve been on the road with a friend to Adelaide and back. Included were a trip to Kangaroo Island, Port Lincoln and the Adelaide Hills. It was a good, relaxing trip, but now I have to get back to work.

Their Own Words
I recently obtained my contributor copies of Their Own Words: 40 Years of Canberra Graffiti, during launch as part of last weekend’s Surface Festival, and a result of the Canberra Graffiti Project, which I posted previously about here.

Canberra Graffiti Project

New Camera

Sancho’s Dirty Laundry Launch
So, Sancho’s Dirty Laundry recently reopened (after nearly a year of being closed) and I took a few shots of the set up when they had a launch on Friday night. The whole place seemed like it was finished only hours before doors opened, the stairwell was fogged with the smell of drying paint. Either…
