INSTANT ROADTRIP

These are the instax photos I shot on the roadtrip to Melbourne and back. Really growing attached to this silly little white camera. There is something so honest and low-tech about the images that draws me in.

MELBOURNE


After moving out of home and into my new place on Wednesday I had a day to myself in which I "settled in". Then on Friday I climbed into a car with three others and began the 2 day drive to the glorious lands of Victoria. I pretty much fell in love with Melbourne. I had heard stories of its greatness but it became a vibrant and culturally thrilling reality being there in person. Whilst staying there we saw a footy game, visited a cathedral, drank a lot of coffee, ate some amazing food, indulged in cakes, explored the markets, marvelled at the architecture and icons, witnessed wonderful (and sometimes silly) attractions, spent a day at the zoo, met some delightful people and spent waaaay too much money on bits and pieces. I can now say with confidence that Melbourne is somewhere I belong. I pretty much didn't even touch a digital camera all week so there is a lot of film and instax scans on their way and I look forward to seeing how they turn out and sharing them. I hope eveyone has had as lovely a time these winter holidays as me.
