the fall

Every time Amanda's back in town we really try to make the most of it. It's become a ritual of sorts: short little hour drives around Auckland, exploring new little gems of nature, de-stressing...

my little piece of heaven

One-and-a-half years ago, I moved into this apartment. Some of you may remember my first nights; a completely empty space, blank walls and no lights. Sleeping on the floor. This is that same...

( hush hush )

It's cut back, and stripped down to the essence. Arcs. Angles. Darts. Curves. These little accents i've discovered by another feather just resonate with the perfect notes of simplicity, minimalism,...

tranquilize

Can - Mary, Mary, So Contrary Postcards from days so free of care ~ well at least it always seems this way in photographs. Bathing in the late afternoon lull and gazing up above at clouds passing...

Take these quiet moments.

Breathe them in. They're hard to come by. So often I find myself drifting into deep thought, the xx was playing softly in the background. So many hours in-between, the xx also played. To a point...

Summer is only now whispering its final goodbyes. Feeling chillier toes, goose fleshed-arms and the need to reach for a source of warmth more tangible. This is how Ive stayed alive and warm.Easter...
