The Red Heads Homage to Photography: Nature
5
Today’s photos come to you courtesy of my partner, Denis Defontaine. They were taken on a ‘family walk’ last weekend (family consisting of our pooch, Denis and I).
It truly is amazing what you can find when you get out in the open air and open your eyes to what is around you!
If you are interested in seeing more of Denis’ artwork, you can find him at http://ArrogantOne.deviantart.com/

Monday Photo-day: A Memory of Milan
Today I am sharing a memory. The photo is a bit old-looking, as it has been scanned in from an actual printed photo (those were the days!).
This was taken in 2001, at the start of my 1st-ever trip to Europe. In fact, I had only ever left Australia to go to Singapore (5 hour flight from Perth), so this trip was HUGE and was what I had dreamt about for years.
My friends Nigel, Karina and I had just checked in to a hostel in Milan – of which we were to find out was run by a wanna-be drill-seargent (that’s a whole other tale). On finding our way to the subway, like rabbits in a spot-light, we arose from the subway tunnel to be greeted by this.
Duomo, Milan, Italy
The photo doesn’t do it justice. To this day, nothing compares. The memory still takes my breath away.
