beaded cheetah

 

One of my favourites in the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition is this hand-beaded cheetah pelt evening dress. I'm impressed by the craftsmanship and attention to detail. Check out the claws in the photo. It looked so real, that I had to take a closer look.

Melbourne

A quick trip across the ditch to Melbourne to visit family and go to the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria. Great trip. The exhibition was well worth seeing. It was a wonderful journey of Gaultiers design work. These photos were taken with my Olympus point n shoot compact camera. The lighting was great for taking photos. Wish I'd taken my big camera...

keeping it retro

I'm regularly taking photos of retro items for our Retrovision shop and getting used to the Canon that I posted about last time. The photography space in our shop is tiny and I'm often squashed up against other furniture taking photos..

On the weekend I went to a wedding held at Castaways Resort, Waiuku. I observed a wedding photographer at work. Taking wedding photos for a living is tough. As a creative person I would struggle to meet another persons vision and expectations so wedding photography is not for me. I'll stick to taking photos of things that personally interest me - yep, keeping it retro!
