home
As an Australian-born expatriate, my relationship with my birth country is complex and in constant flux. I search for answers to questions such as: Where is my home? What is my culture? How do my roots define me and influence my life? This is the first series in an examination of my Australian identity through cultural iconography and representations.

Out to Play
Who needs cars anyway? The Mount Pleasant community comes out to play for Car Free Vancouver Day.
Vancity shines
The sun [finally] comes out in Vancity. Taken around Downtown Eastside, Chinatown, Mount Pleasant and Commercial Drive.
Vancouver Farmers Markets
Dogs. Kids. Organic food. Coffee. Vancouverites in their natural habitat. Photos taken at Trout Lake and Kitsilano Farmers Markets.
Vancouver, Suburbia
Some old houses whisper, others seem to shout. And while some come across as quiet, even silent, they each have their story.

Frühlingssonntag
A lazy Sunday back in Berlin, roaming the streets of Kreuzberg and Neukölln in search of markets, jewellery trunk shows, good coffee and even better waffles.
The sun is shining; spring is here.
Final days in Amsterdam
Three of my gorgeous friends flew in from three different cities to celebrate my final days in Amsterdam. The perfect end to an unforgettable trip.
Stare
These are some of the fluke moments when people stare into your camera lens just as you’re taking a photo. Often I don’t realise until I’m editing images much later. I like the serendipitous and eerie quality it gives.
This image was inspired by the Amsterdam canal that’s been my home for the past month – Oudezijds Voorburgwal – the perfect cocktail of old world charm and red light sass.
Nederlandse markten
If you’re a fan of markets then Amsterdam is your kind of city, with daily markets of farmer’s produce, bio food and flowers, to antiques, books, art and vintage clothes. I love the treasures you can kind in these places, not to mention the characters. Here are some images from and around Noordermarkt, Lindengracht-markt and Westergasfabriek-markt.

Dam Spring
Latest impressions of spring in Amsterdam, mostly around The Jordaan, Binnenstad and Grachtengordel.
Friedrichshain
Yes, sometimes I leave Neukölln. A trip to Boxhagener Platz Flohmarkt, Friedrichshain.
