Loaded Rainbow
The loaded rainbow sandwich from Hank’s Corner cafe. So twenty bucks feels like a lot for what is basically a salad sandwich with some crisps on the side. But let’s face it — there’s no way I’m ever going to … Continue reading
North Beach Sunset
I went to a sunset photography event mainly to meet up with some photo friends, which was fun, but then the sun ducked behind a cloud and did this. Thanks, Sun.
Slightlly un-miffed
So it turns that The Mastermind is not showing in Perth at the same time as its general release around the rest of the country is because it’ll be playing as part of the Perth Festival from 1 December to … Continue reading
Miffed
The new Kelly Reichardt film with Josh O’Conner, The Mastermind, is coming out across Australia on 23 October. Yay! Everywhere except Western Australia. Wait — what — why?
Video killed the radio star?
Midway through Take This Waltz the Michelle Williams character rides a carnival attraction with her rickshaw-pulling artist object of desire and we’re swept into a romantic reverie, seduced by the motion, darkness and music (Buggles!) and then — bang — … Continue reading
Parry Parry Parry
I recently had three days off and half-deliberately ended up having a bahn mi for lunch on each of the days. The winner by far was from Viet Kite in the Fremantle Market. The perfect mix of crispy skin without … Continue reading
The Phantom Thread
Far stranger, funnier, and more emotional than I’d expected. Vicky Krieps as Alma is more than a match for Lewis’ Reynolds. Though always ready to stand up for herself, her move to dramatically alter the power balance is unexpected and … Continue reading
Shame Into Love
You can combine rituals. Change rituals. Exorcise old crusty rituals that hold pain instead of beauty. Build brand-new rituals to convert shame into love. You can wear a red shirt every Tuesday and it means you are holy. You can … Continue reading
Revenge of the Seats
An artful and sinister, in a dark side of the force kind of way, arrangement of chairs and light at PS Art Space.
Here
Long lingering shots of branches blowing in the wind. Naturalistic dialogue that serves no plot. A guy makes some soup and wanders around the city chatting to friends and strangers. He meets a scientist studying moss. They walk together in … Continue reading
Al Fresco Dining
There’s a house being built right next door. Results in some strange sightings.
Pushing a bit of me out into the world
I’m lucky enough to have a job where the busyness ebbs and flows. Some weeks are very intense — long hours and almost no me time — and others are way less so — I know when I’ll start and … Continue reading
Kalamunda Photo Walk
I went on a nice group photo walk in the Perth hills last Sunday. Heavy rain had been forecast but the skies got their downpouring out of the way before dawn.
Tomato Cheese Toast
Yesterday I cancelled my NYTimes subscription as a mental health measure – too much Trump, too much focus on the power players and fuck all on the people who suffer from their crimes. And today they post an absolutely delicious … Continue reading
Snuggle Cap
Did one of the caps for my Fujifilm 50mm teleconverter snuggle its way into the lens cap of my X100VI? Yes, it did. Did I spend countless hours searching for it? Yes, I did. Did I scratch my head at … Continue reading
Pavements
I watched Pavements last night and although I had a few laughs it was not my cup of tea. I sat down to write about why it didn’t work for me but that just seems like a waste of my … Continue reading
Pavements is Coming
I was beginning to worry that maybe I’d have to wait years to see Pavements here in Perth. Not so! A little while back the Revelations Film Festival released its program for this year and, you guessed it, Pavements is … Continue reading
