Together
23 January 2007
When I saw this couple on the beach this morning, I couldn't stop myself from taking a photo. In that scene I imagined a lifetime of shared moments... of togetherness, and that is an achievement and a half in my books. For all I know the reality may be that they had lusted after each other at lawn-bowls for a decade, before her first husband finally fell off his perch last winter, and they meet each Tuesday for a fuck and some shared sunshine.

Adaptation
03 November 2006
Plump, fleshy, green leaves of Pig Face and the spikey, silvery, dryness of Spinifex. I love adaptation to harsh conditions, in all its varied forms.I'm sipping black coffee, while watching the rain falling from safe inside my warm dwelling. I'm very tempted to go for a long walk in the gentle pitter patter and find myself soaked to the bone. I'll come home shivering, run a hot bath and soak myself warm. The temptation is too much.

Morning Carnival
30 October 2006
Surf, sun, sand. Men of all shapes and sizes, united by the creep of their budgie smugglers, as they roll and wedge up each heaving arse. Beautiful timber boats, skillfully controlled, yet still at the mercy of the last wave in the set. A sea of naked limbs, red and yellow caps and hairy arses, tumble in the foam.Labels: budgie smugglers, clubbies, newport beach, summer, surf, surf club, wedgies
