- expired 600
Beautiful polaroids from Heather Powazek Champ, I’m particularly enjoying the ones taken on expired Polaroid 600 film (the bottom two shown here).

Seeing beautiful photos like these on flickr just makes me wish for Winter all the more.
- black & gray
I love looking at Marisa’s (Needles and Sins) photostreams of tattoo conventions… I haven’t seen any black and gray tattoos up to this standard in person so I’d love to find myself at one of the great conventions in Europe or the UK.
This beautiful work is by Abey Alvarez of Lowrider Tattoo.
- *another* iPhone camera app
We were trapped by some rain on a walk into the city over the weekend, so I took the opportunity to play with a new iPhone camera app that I found last week. Silly name, Hipstamatic, but a fun app.
Something I found irritating but now like is that you can’t just run the app as a filter on existing images in your iPhone Photos, it’s nice to have to think about what combination of pretend filters and film you’ll use to take a picture rather than dressing up a boring iPhone photo.
I took screen shots of the app in use… you’d be better off checking out the website :)
*The flower photo was on the way home after the sun had been back out for a while.
- a day early
I was lucky to receive from work a double pass to an advanced screening of Alice In Wonderland showing on Wednesday night. I’ve already mentioned multiple times how much I’m looking forward to seeing it, so I’ll leave this at that. (yay!)
- uppercase
I was happy to find Issue 4 of UPPERCASE in my mailbox last week, even though I regularly buy other magazines this is the first that I’ve subscribed to… I must admit that was mostly due to the Issue 1 cover design. I wanted this magazine and it took me so long to get it, instead of subscribing directly from them in Canada I went through their one and only Australian stockist – six months later I see Issue 3!
Enough complaining :) This issues cover was designed by San Franciscan illustrator Leigh Wells, her work is a fine example of those times I feel sadly jealous that I am not a talented illustrator.

coffee splash by donchris!™ [superslow]
I was actually looking at another photograph of a coffee splash shown on the flickr blog, when I realised how much more I like this one. Such interesting colour and details, and this splash is so impressive! Great action shot :)
If I was thinking I would have taken a photo of the results from one of my favourite coffee cups 1/3 full of coffee smashed on the kitchen floor. These cups are about 8 seasons ago from the designer so I wont hold my breath finding a replacement, three is a disappointing number when it comes to cup sets.

I really like the artwork for the Sydney 2010 The Finders Keepers. Definitely take a look at the website of the artist Madeleine Stamer. I missed last years Brisbane event and I’m so looking forward to our time to come around again.
My posts have been pretty sparse these past couple of days I know and I haven’t had a chance for any knitting – I have a work contract for a few weeks that sees me having to actually get dressed and leave the house rather than sit at my own desk all day. It’s pretty enjoyable work so it’s worth the sacrifice of having to change out of pyjamas in the morning and not being able to say blog in the middle of the day or take a knitting/lunch break :)
- yellow kind of day
These images don’t work well together I know, but I just had to put them together here. The other day I had to go out for a job and on my way home all I could see was yellow things jumping out at me. Yellow signs, flowers, little butterflies, paper, houses… you get the drift, yellow was jumping up and down for my attention.
