A Street Portrait - Kings Cross Vibes from a Distant Past..

Well I don't suppose this is fashion in a capital F sense but you know what, I LOVE it., but then you knew I would anyway. It's so easy for this look not be be great.. but it's just fabulous; thanks for letting me make the shot. It seems life's not completely over in Kings Cross on  a Friday night, not quite, not yet, there's still some ghosts of the past, that remember how it was, days gone by..

Over the Weekend - Pinky Blue Fashion & Portraits Too!

What a weekend, I had the pleasure of documenting the launch of Linda Warlond's 'Love is the Colour' exhibition; Portraits of Pets and their owners with a significant twist, the owners are people who have had significant set-backs in their life, Linda is part of a group called Pets in the Park; that delivers veterinary assistance to the pets of the homeless! A beautiful exhibition and while there, I also managed to grab a couple of shots of a couple of Linda's friends at her show not homeless for Street Fashion Sydney Pink Flamingo & a rescue chihuahua (art direction by Linda), and a great upcycled blue denim tote with SKULLS, as well as some more Pinky Blue fashion pictures on the way home. Pandanus Palms against a Pink sunset shirt on Oxford Street, how could I resist; and some reading on the street corner, what a great weekend. Congratulation Linda on your fabulous show.

Grand Days, Retro, Lime Green, Books and Records too, Kings Cross & Woolloomooloo.

Yesterday I took advantage of only our second sunny day of spring so far to walk into the Royal Botanic Gardens to photograph flowers and other spring time flora which you can see here.. And on the way back to Darlinghurst after my mornings photography excursion I found myself walking up William Street on the Kings Cross side, right past 'that little bookshop I have never been in' 'with that woman in that great lime green dress'! Yes I stopped talking to myself and daydreaming, turned around and went into the Grand Days book store for the very first time and asked the lovely Tamara (as I found out) if she would let me take her picture for Street Fashion Sydney. Well the rest as they say.. So I met Tamara, grabbed a great shot, and took a look in the store, which as it turns out is much bigger on the inside than it appears on the outside; and also sells LP records - those round flat thin black things with grooves - books of all kinds of course and collectables too.

LP Records - those round flat thin black things with grooves - and collectable too. Check out those covers!
Lots and lots of books at Grand Days shop in Woolloomooloo, Kings Cross, Sydney.

Turn around, go back, you have come too far!.
If like me you are trying very hard not to spend money on books, you will know what a fantasticly tempting place a shop like Grand Days is and that it is super dangerous to visit! Well to hell with the danger I'm going back, it's too good a bookshop to pass by. If you are in the Cross, drop in and say hello to Tamara and Tom you won't be sorry you did.
