Polaroid-a-day: Day 3



This is one of my favourite polaroids EVER. It was taken at Luna Park in St Kilda. Carousels are so pretty :)

I made an attempt at drawing a carousel last week, but it came out a bit wonky. I still think it's kind of cute though...

Polaroid-a-day: Day 2



This one has an interesting story behind it. In 2000, I went to Greece for 5 months. This was taken in Athens at Syntagma Square by a man who used to sell polaroid pictures of people feeding the pigeons... I really hated this picture of me when it was taken (I was 14 at the time) cos I thought that I looked really fat. Nine-and-a-half years later, I think this is probably one of the nicest pictures that I have of myself... interesting how our perception of ourselves can change so drastically over time!

A polaroid a day....

I've decided to revive this blog again with a new feature: a polaroid a day. However, I'm cheating a little bit, cos I'm not going to actually TAKE a new polaroid every day... I'm just uploading from the ones I've already taken. I have about 30 of them... so this project should hopefully last a month or so. Just keep in mind that I have scanned them, so the quality isn't so great...

If you're lucky, I might even write something to go with each picture! Haha. But don't hold your breath!

So... without further ado, here is number 1...



This is me, blowing a hubba bubba bubble. 'Twas taken a few months ago at the Alexandra Gardens in Melbourne. Notice my eyes are closed... I was concentrating SO hard! Bubblegum is hard work! Haha.
