#27 – Summer Breeze.

Hayden and I met for the first time last December after connecting on Instagram.

We had an incredibly pleasant day exploring Kirribilli and Lavender Bay – apart from some dodgy Caesar salad I consumed for lunch. It was also my first time visiting Wendy Whiteley’s Secret Garden, and I was immediately mesmerised by its beauty to say the least. We spent a long while wandering through the garden – ascending staircase after staircase; discovering old furniture and machinery; stumbling across gorgeous flora that I couldn’t help but hold in my hand. Thank you Wendy, for sculpting such a magical place – so magical it would only be right to say it came from a fairytale. Such a gem tucked away in a quiet corner of Sydney, and you should read more about Wendy and her wonderful fruit of labour right here – a magical and eye-opening day indeed.

Hayden has also released his debut single ‘Lovers in the Moonlight’, which you can listen to on Spotify or download from iTunes! (Why not listen to the track while finishing this post?) Heh.

The following images are some film photographs I took from our little adventure – hope you like them!

Like a gentle summer breeze

You let me go with ease

With love,

Emily.

#24 – Sea Sculpture.

Ah, Sydney’s iconic Bondi Beach – also home to the annual Sculpture by the Sea exhibition.

It’s become a yearly affair for me to head down to Bondi for the outdoor sculpture exhibit and coastal walk – and it was even more exciting this time because I got to take my Canon EOS 500N for a spin.

My second film camera was gifted to me with a 50mm f1.8 lens as a birthday present, and these photographs are from the first rolls of film I used with it.
