2007 photo diary: day 59

i knew the boy was coming into sydney today but i didn’t know what time. when i got home after work, i spotted his shoes, but couldn’t see or hear anyone in the house. when i called out ‘hello?’ he popped out sideways from the kitchen, brandishing these.
how’s that for a [...]

how’s that for an abuse of alliteration? mario’s meat market! and then, in case you don’t get what it is they sell: meat meat meat!

today is the 27th birthday of the lovely anna, one of the most beautiful human beings to ever grace the face of the earth.
it is 5 years now since our friendship was forged over the delirious fire of media lab all-nighters; she got me through that difficult year in one [...]
